What Does MUD Stand For?

MUD stands for Multi User Dungeon

MUD, or Multi User Dungeon, refers to a text-based online multiplayer role-playing game that allows multiple players to interact with each other and the game environment in real-time. Originating in the late 1970s and early 1980s, MUDs combine elements of storytelling, exploration, and combat, enabling players to create characters, solve puzzles, and engage in virtual adventures within expansive and often complex worlds. Players communicate through text commands, participating in a community-driven experience that fosters collaboration and competition. MUDs have significantly influenced the development of modern online games and virtual environments.
