MUD

Multi-User Dungeon or Dimension , A (usually text-based) multi-user simulation environment.

Some are purely for fun and flirting, others are used for serious software development, or education purposes and all that lies in between.

A significant feature of most MUDs is that users can create things that stay after they leave and which other users can interact with in their absence, thus allowing a world to be built gradually and collectively.
