Like which ones?

Dragonrealms and Gemstone IV are by far the biggest text games out
there, crossing 1000 simultaneous. I don't know of any MUSH that
even crosses 400 simultaneous players regularly, do you? In fact, I
can only think of one that regularly crosses 250, though I'm not
nearly as familiar with the MUSH variety of text MUD.
