Home computers introduced Multi-User Dimensions (MUDs) where communities of networked players maneuvered via typed command through interactive fantasy realms.
MOO stands for "MUD, Object Oriented"; and MUD, in turn, refers to Multi-User Dimensions, which are real-time text-based chats for people to interact electronically (Young, 2002).
These include Multi-User Dimensions, or MUDs, which originally were text-based environments, organized as planets, cities or campuses with interconnected "rooms" containing virtual objects such as tools, costumes and signs.
