Great inspiration for MUDs came from Colossal Cave Adventure and Zork. See the help-files in the games, you’ll note some homage to them in places as well. As well as Original MUD and MUD2. The original text-based interactive fiction games are here.
Images through out the site:
The image portraying the High Clerist Tower with the three moons was custom artwork done by Kaelay for Ansalon MUD.
