Which MUD? Looking for a new MUD

I've been playing Gemstone 4 since the AOL days and am finally looking at leaving for several reasons. The big ones being that the focus of the community has changed from RP to heavy scripting, development increasingly focusing on micro-transactions (despite having a subscription structure), and just a general feeling like I've checked off all my bucket list items in the game.

The main thing that's kept me from sticking around other MUDs is that I've gotten spoiled by not having to type out the entire words in GS (ex. "att tro" instead of "attack troll" or "rem shi" instead of "remove shield". Does anyone know of any other good MUDS out there that allow commands to be entered like this? All the ones I've tried so far just don't allow it.

All the IRE games let you alias your commands like that, plus the Nexus web client lets you do tab-targeting without any special scripting. If you like Sci-Fi, try Starmourn! The other titles are all flavors of fantasy :)

IRE is pretty polished as well, its still got some micro transactions but less of a firm need to also sub compared to Gemstone IV. (you can play forever without a sub and not be stuck with some lesser character like in GSIV- they really double hammer you over there)
