What is the difference between a MUSH and a MUD?
A MUD (Multiple User Dimension, Multiple User Dungeon, or Multiple User Dialogue) is an internet site which users can log into through telnet and explore. MUSH stands for Multi-User Shared Hallucination, and is derived from the MUD family of online games. The difference between the two, however, is that MUDs are typically hack-n-slash venues – you kill monsters, and sometimes other players. You will not find much in the way of combat on a MUSH. The focus, on a MUSH, is in the character interaction, or, RP.
