I actually had an idea a few years back about a MUD tutorial.  It was 
less tutorial, more guided experience.  The key idea was to let newbies 
have their own areas to play while learning the game and to be the model 
area for other builders.  There were chokepoints and NPCs that explained 
things with commands in uppercase/bold.  I put my notes up on my 
website:  http://steve.madrogue.com/index.php/new-mud-player-experience/
