Evennia a MUD/Mu* Creation System
ToastStunt is an actively developed fork of Stunt which is a fork of LambdaMOO. It's extended a lot of what LambdaMOO offered via patches, as well as adding a lot of new and much needed stuff. Active Discord community as well. And several large MOOs are running it instead of LambdaMOO these days.

ToastStunt Programmers Guide
ToastStunt is a fork of Stunt which is a fork of LambdaMOO. ToastStunt adds a bunch of features and is under active development. I worked with the knowledgeable folx on the ToastStunt Discord and the primary devs, to update the classic LambdaMOO Programmers Guide for ToastStunt.

Do all muds use insecure connections?
TLS support was recently added to ToastStunt, so any MOOs running that have the option. The biggest that come to mind are Miriani and ChatMUD. They also use argon2id for password hashing rather than the usual crypt(), if that sort of thing is important to you.

Multi-User Dungeons (MUDs): What Are They? and How to Play
MUDs (MOOs specifically) were super formative for me. Learned to code from playing with LambdaMOO and helping develop Sindome (www.sindome.org)
If anyone is interested in a modern / updated LamdaMOO server check out ToastStunt: https://github.com/lisdude/toaststunt

Show HN: I rewrote the 1990's LambdaMOO server from scratch
I've done the "whole new thing" before, too. 20ish years ago, tho I only have a few fragments of what I worked on back then: https://github.com/rdaum/mica being one of them I found on an old drive. Not complete.
But sticking with compatibility has allowed me to enforce development discipline, basically. And then I'll move it onwards from there.
Re: world state / transactions -- yeah, basically all I/O and mutations happen in a transactional context, and then at commit time conflicts are resolved; if they're not resolve-able, the transaction is retried in a new state. As for overhead, yes potentially maybe a lot, but it's also a solvable problem; this is how an MVCC SQL database (like, even Postgres) works. TLDR it's likely inefficient now, but I believe I can make it efficient. And I think it's the best to solve the shared world state problem and still meet user's expectations of consistency.
Re: the MOO client, it's `rmoo.el`: https://github.com/lisdude/rmoo -- it's been around for a long time (25, 30 years?) and it and/or MOO.el (another emacs one) are how/why I learned emacs in the first place. I had to patch my local copy to make it work with emacs 29.1.
