SlothMUD

SlothMUD is a classic text-based multiplayer role-playing game where players explore a persistent fantasy world entirely through written commands and descriptions. You create a character, travel between locations, fight monsters, collect equipment, develop abilities and interact with other players, all without the graphical interface that modern MMORPGs take for granted. The lack of graphics encourages imagination and leaves the world largely to the player's interpretation. As with many MUDs, learning the available commands and discovering the game's systems is part of the adventure itself. SlothMUD belongs to an important tradition of online role-playing that predates graphical MMOs by years. It is a fascinating reminder that players once happily explored enormous virtual worlds using little more than text, imagination and a keyboard.
