Actually, one major large scale MUD (Ultima Online) runs its shards on
clusters (one cluster per shard), combining them through virtual portals to
create a single large world.

Whether they do any better than the other big single server ones is a different
matter.  And there is quite a difference in processing requirements and such
of course between largely text based MUDs and massive graphical multi-player
games like Ultima Online.
