A MUD (Multiple User Dimension, Multiple User Dungeon, or Multiple User Dialogue) is a computer program which users can log into and explore. Each user takes control of a computerized persona/avatar/incarnation/character. You can walk around, chat with other characters, explore dangerous monster-infested areas, solve puzzles, and even create your very own rooms, automatons and items.

This section used to show the latest changes and edits, but unfortunately the feature has been disabled. This Wiki was created on Wikia prior to 2014 so it has no modern analog.

From the Founders

I'd like to take this section of the page in the name of our readers and, especially, our contributors.

We want to thank you for the time you have spent over the last decade keeping this wiki updated. As always, we seek a fair and open discussion without the trolling so common on other Wikis. Here there are no hidden agendas, snipes or gripes. We just want you to have a place to keep the most up-to-date information on active and historical game entries, so that the world can benefit from a common place to share their love of MU
