I essentially grew up with MUDs, and have been playing since I was old enough to use a keyboard... And cross-linking some of the stuff to Gopher should be somehow possible. After all, everything a MUD needs from user side is a telnet connection, and if I'm not entirely mistaken, Gopher has support for some telnet itemtype...
