    We need to get MUDs more popular again. But that would require getting Telnet popular again.

      But why? You don’t need telnet to transfer text.

        Because a MUD that isn’t part of a BBS feels wrong to me.

      Can you fill me in on what that means? Searching for mud doesn’t give me useful results.

        People were playing text-based multiplayer, effectively mmos with PvP well before Tim-Berners Lee invented the Web Browser.

        http://mud.arctic.org/ this one is still around.

        It means Multi User Dungeon. It’s a networked multiplayer game, usually focused on dungeon-crawling as the name suggests. Early ones were based heavily on BD&D and AD&D, but others got more creative.
