I always viewed EQ and WoW as shells on a MUD.

EQ, most definitively yes. From the nature of rare drops from rare mobs to the typing in stuff for quests. Hell, even the way warriors played in some MUDs was reflected in classic EQ in that they had pretty much two abilities to use in combat, a fighting move (kick/bash in EQ) and Rescue (taunt in EQ).

WoW, not so much. From guaranteed named mobs to guaranteed drops. Also combat was much more interactive for all classes. Which is why I guess few people used to chat, since you always had something to press or click.
