You are quite right. :)

On the other hand, you may be also missing on some considerable features. :)

Errrr, you are probably wrong about it. While DIKUs are pretty much
all similar (this is my humble opinion, feel free to contradict), and
LPs, while they have more potential to diversity, still don't vary
too much, MOOs can be and are *wildly* modified. I've seen anything
from MUSE clone to DIKU close (believe it or not!).

Guess you just had very bad luck that time. Try some roleplaying-heavy
MOO (look for one with stats. There are many kinds of roleplaying MOOs,
as well).
