Lost Library of Moo Article

One of the articles from the Lost Library of Moo was, MUD'S (Multiple user Dimensions) site.
This site was for a MUD Starter Kit and included a general overview of what the program is. I had no clue what this program was, after reviewing the eight user dimensions, I have a general knowledge of it’s uses. MUD has been referred to as a “text-based reality." With MUD you can interact with many users and your environment. It provides a virtual experience where you can communicate commands used in the real-world (like whisper/shout). You can also interact with users using non-verbal communication (like shake hands). There are many rooms you can visit to chat in like an office or castle. Also, there are games to play, most of the options are limited to one central goal (killing). One of the experiences that you can try is MUA’s (Multiple User Adventures) that is an interactive, multi-user computer game. MUA’s can be used to chat with several people all over the world or play a game alone.
