MUDII is one of only two sites in the world hosting the latest version
of MUD, the very first multi-player adventure game. MUD1 or EssexMUD
(as the original MUD is now known as) was developed by Richard Bartle
& Roy Trubshaw in 1978 at Essex University, England. Since 1978 MUD
has been in constant development resulting in a highly original and
fun game that can be played here today.

MUDII is a MUD that is set in a timeless alternative reality. This is
a world where you can be who you want when you want. The community at
MUDII is large and very friendly, they are always willing to welcome
and help out newbies. Quests, Houses (guilds), competitions, events,
mud-related online magazines and numerous associated websites are all
part and parcel of this incarnation of MUD.

MUDII was created in 2001 to run the game for the community that
previously played on Wireplay. MUD2 had been running on Wireplay since
August 1997 until the game was closed down there.

MUDII is now entirely free to play.
