No, it's generally considered pretty mediocre, except by its staff and players. The reason most discussions concern its licence violations are partially because there's not really anything else noteworth to say about it, except perhaps for pioneering the pay-for-virtual-items trend in muds (at least, I don't know of any other muds which were doing it earlier).
The comment wasn't so much in reference to the fact that it has 4 classes and races, but rather the fact that the class and (lack of) race selection are unchanged from the stock Merc code that Medievia started with back in February 1993, despite the numerous advances most other muds have made since then.
Specifically designing your mud around 4 classes and no races is one thing. Leaving them because they're what you got with your stock codebase is something else, particularly for a mud which claims things like being the "most detailed game ever made in all of human history".
