I want to get into the niche but don't know how to start

Hello!

I never really knew MUD's were a thing until recently, but I really like games with a lot of text and lore that I can read and experience a new world that someone put their passion into creating, so I thought I might give it a go.

I'm currently in university so I don't really have time to play the big games with lots of stories and cutscenes and quests, so I figured that maybe a text based game would be easier for my free-time.

I'm not really a multiplayer guy, I prefer to just do my thing and have fun most of the time, so I don't know how that actually vibes with the MUD scenario since I imagine that there's guilds and stuff.

The problem is that I don't relaly know with what game to start, I know that I should go with the first thing that gets my interest since otherwise I will be stuck like this forever, but I'm afraid of investing my time on something that might not be that good or just dead.

Could you all help me with some recommendations? Maybe talking a bit about the world and it's features?
