AD&D is a really bad game design for something like a mud. It works when you use it at the glacial pace of a pen and paper setting, but it only works well if you have a good DM to go with it. In a high speed, real time scenario under computer control, the rules just aren't going to work well.
I know there are a few games that claim to use D&D rules, but it's invariably with a ton of tweaks to make the game playable.
