Indeed, before the invention of the term MMORPG, games of this style were simply called graphical MUDs. The history of modern massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) like EverQuest and Ultima Online, and related virtual world genres such as the social virtual worlds exemplified by Second Life, can be traced directly back to the MUD genre. Numerous games are listed at various web portals, such as The Mud Connector. MUDs can be accessed via standard telnet clients, or specialized MUD clients, which are designed to improve the user experience.

Most MUDs are run as hobbies and are free to play some may accept donations or allow players to purchase virtual items, while others charge a monthly subscription fee. At one time, there was interest from the United States military in using them for teleconferencing. MUDs have attracted the interest of academic scholars from many fields, including communications, sociology, law, and economics. Not all MUDs are games some are designed for educational purposes, while others are purely chat environments, and the flexible nature of many MUD servers leads to their occasional use in areas ranging from computer science research to geoinformatics to medical informatics to analytical chemistry. Such fantasy settings for MUDs are common, while many others have science fiction settings or are based on popular books, movies, animations, periods of history, worlds populated by anthropomorphic animals, and so on.

Many MUDs were fashioned around the dice-rolling rules of the Dungeons & Dragons series of games. The objective of this sort of game is to slay monsters, explore a fantasy world, complete quests, go on adventures, create a story by roleplaying, and advance the created character. Traditional MUDs implement a role-playing video game set in a fantasy world populated by fictional races and monsters, with players choosing classes in order to gain specific skills or powers. Players typically interact with each other and the world by typing commands that resemble a natural language.

Players can read or view descriptions of rooms, objects, other players, non-player characters, and actions performed in the virtual world.
