Multi-User Dungeons. Text based hack-n-slash. Lots of zones you go into, some with puzzles, some just with monsters, lots of people grouping together. Kindof like IRC with with a game attached. Anyone can get the code, anyone can increase it, anyone can run one, thousands are Online. Alot of game developers, especially for the Online worlds that are popular now, started with muds.

Re: How the heck . . .
Yours didn't seem to have much activity when I created a char there a couple of days ago, Gandalf.  Personally, I prefer SMAUG-based MUDs.
Edit: Medievia is also a very interesting variant. Having its roots in MUDs, but being very far advanced and making use of "text graphics".

Re: How the heck . . .
I used to play those WAY back in the day, before the Internet had all them fancy graphics (well, it was a long time for me . . .). They were pretty cool, but these-a-days, if I want text-based stuff, I write it myself.
