Are MUDs Still a Thing?


I love the concept of MUDs but they were before my time. Is there still a niche community out there for them? If I made one, would there be anybody to play it? Are there guides for best practices, etc?

Yes, the Diku codebase was recently updated to Diku3 and a web socket version of Valhalla is currently running.

I think the current populations are quite low in game.

Since the first comment of this thread was "What's a MUD?", I think MUDs are not a thing anymore.

Of course it doesn't mean there is nobody to play it if you made one. I would certainly play.
