Just wanted to comment on this specifically. 400 paying accounts will not equal 75-100 players simultaneously generally. 400 paying accounts CERTAINLY wouldn't be even close to enough to make a MUD worth doing for us either unless those 400 people are paying a lot more than $10 or $15/month.
And keep in mind that, as you say, using almost exclusively word of mouth, a few ads on TMS, non-RPI hobbyist MUDs have achieved 200-500 people online simultaneously compared with RPI MUDs that don't really achieve 100 simultaneously, even though there are only 3 of them (whereas there are hundreds of non-RPI MUDs) making up the entire RPI audience.
Anyway, I don't think there's much more to say on this topic. When you see someone make a commercially successful (say, grossing at least US 150k/year) RPI, feel free to post saying "I told you so Matt!"
