From Moria also descended Angband, which is possibly the only game I
have spent more time playing than any mud. These games are the ultimate
in playtesting perfection: they've been "under development" for two
decades and continue to be improved by the same people that play them.
There is a mud called 3M whose engine (not sure what mudlib it's based
on) is written to work exactly like Angband.
These games still get quite a bit of play, as well, judging from the
200+ messages a day which filter through the rec.games.roguelike.*
heirarchy.
