There was once a disk based version of LambdaMOO, IIRC, though it may have
never really gotten off the ground.
Other MOO variaents, like LPMOO, are disk based. There's nothing fundamental
in the MOO model that requires everything be resident in memory. I've
designed MOO's that can pull object information out of a SQL database, for
example.
