I think you might still be able to play Moria to this day - there was an
implementation of Plato that ran over the Internet that got put together
some years back. Oubliette and dnd were two other noteworth graphic MUDs
on Plato back in the mid to late 70s. I think Avatar, the one that
Wizardry was most directly based on, didn't come out until 1980. I don't
know which of the early Plato games supported it & which didn't, but I
know they had at least one graphic MUD in the 1970s that did support
player vs. player combat.

Some other dates I recall - I believe Club Caribe (the scaled down version
of Habitat) debuted in 1985. My own DragonSpires opened to the public in
1994. Neverwinter Nights (on AOL) and Shadow of Yserbius (on The Sierra
Network) were somewhere between, I don't remember a specific year on
either. I think Neverwinter Nights might have been 1991, Yserbius maybe a
couple years later?
