LambdaMOO Programmer's Manual
For LambdaMOO Version 1.8.0p6
<snip>
LambdaMOO is a network-accessible, multi-user, programmable,
interactive system well-suited to the construction of text-based
adventure games, conferencing systems, and other collaborative software
Its most common use, however, is as a multi-participant, low-bandwidth
virtual reality, and it is with this focus in mind that I describe it here.

Yeah that about covers it. More simply stated, you connect, login, and
through the use of typing simple commands, interact with other players.
It's text-based, meaning that you send and recieve words, not pictures; in
this way it's similar to a chat room or instant message, but MUD's are more
interactive. That's a general description of MUD. LambdaMOO is a
particular type of MUD that some of us find more user friendly than other
types.
