    Do both. With proper design, it shouldn't be particularly difficult
    to allow for different interfaces on the server end. Since you
    stated that most of the game would be text except for a few helper
    gui elements, just work through the server first and then add a
    front end later (if you still want to).
    
    (Speaking of which, if anybody knows of any MUDs that do this, let
    me know. I know it's possible in theory, but I can't think of any
    MUDs off the top of my head that do it. I'm specifically thinking of
    MUDs that allow both full text and full graphical clients).
    
    Personally, it doesn't seem worth the effort and time to create a
    specialized front end if you are going to keep the majority of the
    game text-based anyway. You can do a heck of a lot with a text
    interface or even with text in general (see "Nord and Burt Couldn't
    Make Head or Tail of It").
