I would actually play this if it was free. I've always been surprised that City of Heroes has no metagame aspect. Imagine this: you hop on AOL to check your e-mail and the day's news, and suddenly, you receive an urgent IM telling you Paragon City is under attack. You quickly log in - as if to literally don costume and cape - rush over to the site of the Rikti attack, clean house, exchange pleasantries with fellow players, and log out again. With this MUD, it might affect the game's world; if more people participate in the MUD, there'll be less or weaker mobs in CoH, etc.
