abstract	MU* is a term used to collectively refer to the following: * Multi-User Dungeon / Dimension / Domain (MUD) * Multi-User Shared Habitat / Hallucination (MUSH) * Multi-User eXperience (MUX) * MUD Object-Oriented (MOO) * Multi-User Chat Kingdom / Construction Kit (MUCK) * Multi User Shared Experience (MUSE) * Massive Adventure Roleplay Epic (MARE) * Multi-User Game (MUG) * Talker MU* is a shorthand to refer collectively to a family of text-based multi-user virtual world servers comprising: * TinyMUD * MUSH * MOO * TinyMUCK * and related, less-notable types; see the TinyMUD family tree for more. Another term for these servers is the Tiny family. The asterisk is often used in computer programming languages to represent a wildcard (any number of arbitrary characters), which suggests a usage that encompasses MUDs in general. However, confusingly, MU* is often used in a manner exclusive of services specifically described as MUDs, with the MU* term meant to distance the TinyMUD family of "social MUDs" from "combat-oriented" MUDs. With the dominant usage of MUD being as a generic term rather than specifically denoting combat-oriented games — indeed, both TinyMUD and MOO are MUDs in name (MOO stands for MUD, Object-Oriented), while MUSH and MUCK are backronymed puns on "MUD" — this positions MU* as actually being a subset of MUD.
