- It's (almost always) free
- It works over little bandwidth
- It's run by real people instead of a faceless corporation
- It likely has a much more close-knit community than the big MMORPGs
- It has much fewer morons
- It's often based on a much cooler theme than any MMORPG
- It's run for love, not money
- Since it's text-based, it forces you to exercice imagination and
brainpower
- Lots more
It's not cheating. It's an elegant solution.
