Start now. The most important part of programming a text MUD is
starting it, continuing to work on it, and opening it to players. It
can be difficult to stay motivated without players giving you
feedback and a reason to continue. When I started Achaea, I knew
nothing about coding at all, and I certainly didn't (and don't) have
a degree or any real experience in CS. Get yourself a good engine,
and the rest of the coding isn't hyper-difficult.
