        Tiago!
        
        MUDs are definitely not dead, and there are plenty of state-of-the-art
        ones out there! I'm one of the maintainers of MudBytes.net. A website
        dedicated to developing text based games. We have several project
        leaders there that actively work on new codebases. A couple examples-
        Evennia.com. It's a python based MUD in the works that uses the
        Twisted, and Django frameworks. TeensyMUD, a game written in Ruby is
        actively discussed and I'm pretty sure Tyche is still pounding away at
        it. There's also one called GroovyMUD which is written in Java and
        uses an embeded Groovy scripting engine. There's a few more (which use
        languages like Java, C#, C++, Python, Ruby, Lua... the list goes on
        :)). There's also a few of the retro-codebases reworked and fixed up.
        Murk++ is Merc translated into C++, there's also active communities
        for many of the FUSS games (SmaugFUSS, AckFUSS, SWR FUSS). So there
        are definitely people out there still working on things. There's also
        a project going on called ZMP, which is a framework for sending data
        between a server and a client to help extend and enrich the telnet
        protocol.
