Multi-user
dungeons (as MUD stands for) started off (and most still are) as games based on
Fantasy Role Playing games
allowing
more than one person to play simultaneously.
There
are thousands of different MUDs lurking on the Internet, and they all vary
considerably in flavour. Some are still pure
games
and most people using them still concentrate on the gaming aspect. Others have
become more social, where the
important
thing is not the game, but the interaction with other 'players'.
Others
are used for more serious reasons - one that I know of is used as a training
session on using Gopher.
