I've heard of a few, all heavy RP games.

Armageddon (?) I think was the last I heard of. Per Usenet report
(that Oracle of absolute truth), it was doing fairly well at
maintaining its RP goals but had great trouble accumulating its player
base (suspect data as none of it was from Armageddon principles).

The fact that MUD-Dev, due to its email nature, exists outside of
realtime has been a major factor in its success and creation. Heck,
the message I'm replying to here is over two months old. This sort of
communicative persistence as well as extended context on the list has
had a very fundamental effect. Consider what a MUD would be like if
you were able to re-visit a PK that happened two months ago join
in on the posse for the PK'er, also two months ago, etc...
Time assumes a very transparent nature on mailling lists that isn't
really possible in physically rooted media.
