There is a short list here:

http://tunes.org/wiki/Scheme#MUDs

The Museme link actually points to my old web page.  Here's the new
address:

http://steak.place.org/servlets/index.scm?d=dougo/museme

The SchMUSE link is broken too.  Here's a paper, and the manual:

Perhaps someone with an account on the Tunes wiki can update the
links, or else I'll do it later.


I actually attempted to do a PhD thesis about MUD programming
languages, i.e. languages that could be used to build a
user-extensible MUD (or more generally, a user-extensible shared
object space, with or without the virtual-reality aspect).  I didn't
get all that far, but I have a page of links:

http://steak.place.org/dougo/mud/

I haven't kept up with the field since 2001, though (and that page
hasn't been updated since).  But it should be a good starting point
for anyone who's interested in the subject.
