Looking for something like Zork but not a browser game.

I am looking for an old school game like Zork with monsters and traps and all that good stuff. (meaning a wide verity of danger not just boar,frost boar, hellfire boar, big boar, small boar, undead boar, infected boar, exc. I just love going around exploring, fighting, looting, exc. Its hard to describe the what exactly it felt like playing Zork so sorry for that. I have been looking all over the net and i cant seem to find 1 game that is like Zork but not a browser game that has a small limit on what u can do a day or some super cute anime graphics that kind of kill it.
I'm just sick of every game I find being a WoW clone or a generic browser game. I cant believe that no 1 has ever made a game based on Zork.
I have played runescape (when it was good), it was kinda fun but way to long a grind and they killed it with new updates.
Dungeon assault was grate but 100% lacked end content.
Played wow and loved the PvP in BG's but pve is the worst thing iv ever played.
Just tried Fallen earth and loved it but I just have problems with melee being stronger then ranged attacks when its a FPS. Also the hole being a clone thing kinda made me feel like I don't matter.
Tried the Zork universe or w/e its called and hated it because you could only do 30 things a day and i dont like browser games cause you never run into any other players.
Played UO, loved it. Its just 2 old.
I looked through the old school and 2d games list and most are dead or browser or anime graphics.
In short im looking for a UO2, Fallout 3 online, Game based on Zork, or anything that is now a WoW of Final Fan clone.(its hopeless i bet)
(on a side note how can I get you guys to stop spamming my e-mail with all your websites updates)

There are a lot of great MUD's still out there. One of my personal favorites was the SMAUG development server called Realms of Despair. While they have a java client you can access via their website, I recommend a third party MUD client like ZMUD or something similar. Test based multi-user domains have some of the best game communities still alive. One of the best parts of them in my opinion is you get to generate the graphics...imaginary as they may be. If you don't like that particular MUD or codebase there are (or at least were) a ton of other MUDs based on other literary/game franchises. (FF, Battletech, etc.) It just takes a little research. Enjoy.
With FE I must say, there's no way melee is stronger than a rifle. They may be equal, yes. I can hit a target roughly 100 meters away for 70 damage every second, it takes him about 3 - 4 seconds to get to me. He's usually dead before he touches me. I think it all depends on the play style.
On topic, I would love a Zork MMO. I would love a graphical Zork RPG.
