I've actually never heard of a mud codebase that can only run online, nor can I think of a good reason why a mud would be created that way unless the owner is massively paranoid that his code will be stolen and so incorporates some crazy DRM scheme.

(Almost) any mud codebase you might choose can be run locally. You connect to your local machine by specifying 'localhost' (no .org .net or .com) as the server name, or use the IP address 127.0.0.1 (actually any 127.x.x.x address will do), and of course whatever port # you've got the code running on.

So basically take your pick.
