	Long before open-world maps and cinematic cut scenes, there was another way to play a role-playing game: through words. You type a command, read a description of the world around you, decide what to do next — and slowly discover the world is far larger than it first appeared. There are monsters to fight, places to explore, quests to unravel, and other players sharing the same world with you.

	These games are called '''MUDs,''' and by modern graphical standards they look impossibly simple. That simplicity is exactly what makes them worth a look.

	Instead of clicking, you type <code>north</code> — and the game answers with another description. You can examine objects, talk to characters, fight creatures, trade, solve puzzles, join [[Clans\|clans]], and interact with the other people playing alongside you. The result is part RPG, part interactive fiction, part adventure, and part living online community.		Instead of clicking, you type <code>north,</code>and the game answers with another description.
