MUD's, or Multi-User Dungeons, have been around a LONG time. They are part of the building blocks of RPG gaming that we know and love today. I'll Give you an example: Say you logged into a game...
Quote:
The sound of birds chirping outside the window wake you from your sleep. Yawning, you look around to see that you are not in your bed, but are lying in a pile of straw in a small cottage. There is one door, a chair, and a tabel with an un-opened letter on it.

Type: Open Door
Quote:
The Door is locked.
What would you like to do?

Type: Open Letter
Quote:
You open the letter to reveal a small parchment reading: You most likely have a lot of questions right now. There is a Key to the Door in the Straw Pile, make sure you check it. Once you leave, head north until you come upon a tree with a knot hole. Thats all I can say for now. You enter the Letter into your Inventory.

Type: Check Straw
Quote:
After searching through the straw, you come upon the Key that the Letter told you about. It is plain looking and rusted. You enter the Key into your Inventory.
