What does MUD stand for?

MUD stands for Multiple User Dungeon. Muds where originally called adventure games. Muds have changed dramatically since the first one was created and a mud can be literally anything the creator of the Mud wants it to be. Many Muds are based on high fantasy, i.e. wizards, dragons, elves, gnomes, etc. HolyQuest is a historical Mud based on the life and times of King David and the Israelites. HolyQuest is different from the majority of muds because there are no wizards, dragons, or dungeons and players can only be a human warrior.
