I hate stock areas mostly, but even worse is stock areas in a MUD with a totally different theme (ie. a Wheel of Time MUD that is mostly stock and players can choose to be an Aiel Elf that is a Blademaster Aes Sedai). It is very important to have a MUD with code and areas that support the theme.
Other than that, I appreciate MUDs that I can comprehend the very first time I log in. It is nice to see good helpfiles and well thought out areas for you to start in. Difficult areas should be kept at a distance from where new players originate.
I have another problem with MUDs that claim "heavy RP with limited PK" meaning: Some RP and stories over a noteboard and limitless PK and bragging over global channels...
