The acronym MUD stands for Multi-User Dungeon. There are thousands of MUD games on the Internet nowadays, but MUD2 is unique: it is the direct descendant of the original MUD, as developed by Roy Trubshaw, Richard Bartle, and others at Essex University in and around 1978. MUD2 is a game of exploration and discovery; of friendship and treachery; of fighting and death. Its unofficial motto: You haven't lived until you've died in MUD2!
