Okay TSN can kinda be called a MUD.  The intials stand "The Sierra Network".
Setup be Sierra On-Line, TSN is a multiplayer game network.  There are currently
three lands and a common clubhouse for users.  In the clubhouse are things like 
chess, checkers, bridge, hearts, and other board games.  There are also Bulletin
Boards on a variety of subjects (the most popular are the computer game and
software boards), plus a conference room where groups can hold meetings over TSN
  You can also just sit around the clubhouse and talk to other users.  
Sierraland has more action games, with a On-Line Red Baron flight sim (you can
fly head to head across the nation), plus other games.  Larryland is the adult
entertainment area based on the Leisure Suit Larry series, with gambling type
games, and a bar where you can hit on other people.  Only 18 and over allowed.
Medivaland contains The Shadow of Yserbius, a on-line rpg, where you adventure
through the a volcano dungeon on Yserbius, exploring various levels and 
completing quests.  You can form parties with other users (which is advised for
the lower levels) and even challenge other users to a duel.  There is also a
on-line shopping mall where you can get discounted Sierra Games and other 
specials through TSN.  There is a post office where you can check Email that
comes to you in specialized envelopes with stamps.  The basic area (clubhouse)
costs $12.95 for 30hours/month, plus $2 for Sierra Stamps to Email people, and
a additional $4 per land.  There a 60 hour packages that cost more, but give
you access to all lands.  Hope this answers your question and anyone elses!
