I was thinking about a MUD myself since several years.
Then I meet Thierry Mallard. He told me about an interesting game
project called "Worldforge".

I convinced him to look at Erlang and he convinced me to have a look at
Worldforge. Now we both think that such an online, massively
multiplayer game could be done in Erlang and are exploring such a
direction.

Thierry Mallard wrote two articles on this topic, and several others are
being written. If you need more information, you should have a look at
the English Area of the French Erlang-fr site:
