Can't you have multiple users in a dungeon in non text based games? See WoW and RuneScape.

Roguelikes have evolved from being text based long ago, so I don't see why MUDs have to be.

Because then it would be a different thing?

WoW and Runescape exist. But MUDs exist too, and text and graphics have different possibilities. So it makes sense to have some of both in this rich world.

So you say, but I notice you made a text post and not a reaction vlog.

You seem to be suffering from the misconception that text-only is a _bad_ thing.

Roguelikes use text as symbols, rather than being primarily literary. This comparison doesn’t make sense

What’s the point of books? Can’t you just watch a movie?
