Some amateur authors are using the toolkits, but despite the fact that there are around 100x as many MMORPG players as MUD players, there only seem to be 10x as many amateur MMORPG authors as amateur MUD authors.

BYOND.com is a very good development environment for online games.
I've even started a guild there for text-based mud development.
