Introduction
The word MUD is an abbreviation of "Multi-User Dungeon". When people refer to MUDs, they usually mean a text-based multiplayer game that is played over the Internet. However, it could also be argued that certain graphial games such as World of Warcraft are MUDs.
History
The first MUD was created by Roy Trubshaw and Richard Bartle. The name was inspired by an interactive fiction game called Dungeon; the goal was to make something akin to a multi-user version of Dungeon, hence the name multi-user dungeon.
