What is a mud? A "mud" (Multi User Dungeon) in general consists of text descriptions of a "world" made up of "areas" or "zones" which contain a variable number of "rooms" connected by "exits." As part of the scenery, "NPCs" (non-player characters) or "MOBs" (mobiles) and "objects" also exist to interact with. The human component of the game is, of course, the players. |
