On the other hand, a text mud can't offer the same sense of space
that a graphical mud does. Could you imagine implementing
battlefield combat a-la Final Fantasy Tactics, where all combatants
are at a definite X-Y-Z coordinate, on a text mud? Ascii can only do
so much, and query commands are cumbersome. The same applies really
to any coordinate-based mud.

I think the choice of text vs graphics comes down to what you find
more damaging, limiting space perception or limiting vision. What
about a compromise between the two?
