What is a MUD?

MUD is short for Multi-User Dungeon/Dimension. They are the precursors to modern-day MMORPG's. Compared to such games, MUD's take next to no resources to operate or play. Almost any computer on any OS can connect to and play a MUD. They are entirely text based experiences, so pack your reading and typing skills for the journey ahead!

Ansalon

Ansalon is a MUD that has been around practically forever. I myself have played on and off there since 1998 or 1999. It's got a ton of areas, plenty of races, and a nice variety of classes. The code is updated several times a week and the players are generally friendly.

Get a MUD client.
