InterMUDとは 意味・読み方・使い方

InterMUD or interMU* communications is the commonly accepted terminology for different methods of allowing MUDs to communicate with each other. Some of the more common of these methods are custom protocols over the internet, IPC messages, and bots. The custom protocol method, which is by far the most popular method, has even led to the emergence of the interMUD communication network. These networks are capable of allowing numerous MUDs to communicate with each other. As a result of this ability to have so many MUDs on a particular network, it is not uncommon to have MUDs connected to two or three of these networks in order to have a wide variety of other MUDs to communicate with. Below is an overview of the more well-known custom protocols.
