Hey, everyone! I've played one MUD before (Gemstone III) and I love it. I
stopped looking for other MUDs after being spellbound (pun intended) by
Gemstone. If anybody knows some really good MUDs out there, I'd like it if
you'd tell me what they are and how to get there. ::Coyote jumps around with
a huge grin on his face:: Thanks!

Hey!!! Im first! Im playing a real good mud it's called MEDIEVIA. You must telnet to intense.netaxs.com 4000 Try and enjoy it!
I used to have a number from which I could telnet, but now they've restricted my access. Does anybody out there have a dial-up number that you can telnet from?
How old is this conference?
Hey Hey Hey!!!!! Now if you like player killer muds try this one. telnet dallet.channel1.com 1234 it is down at the moment(getting a new computer) But it's a dikumud that gets pretty rough at times :) Also if you don't mind waiting to get on try this telnet thrash.isca.uiowa.edu 7777 (I'm still waiting to get on) I hear it rocks
What ,exactly, does the Diku mean in DikuMud? I've played Death's Domain for 6 months, a Diku, and I can't see the distinction. Any Hints?
Hello everyone, Well I am currently playing several muds, all different types on taste. Vargonmud is a good one telnet to dogsun.dog.jhu.edu 4444 Vargonmud is good because you can make your own emotes, it is a good social mud, and fun to play..no pk as of yet, until they finish there original site map.eps.jhu.edu 4444 this is the best mud for emotes..;) any questions just mail me..:)
I'm not REAL sure, but diku is what the original coders named it. There are a lot of versions of mud code out there now.. diku, envy, circle, lp, tiny, etc etc. The biggest difference I see is how they handle internal files. As a player, you won't see much difference unless you're playing one that hasn't been modified by the admin *at all*.
If anyone has a lp mud thats cool mail me, I got one-lusty.com 2000 I am sput, no one likes me becuase I did bad things as a level one, but I am also tachibana/bob/muffin, COME ON. I got telnet access if you wanna pay
this is a cool mud envy i think Nebula.net 4000 limited pk and friendly people crashes alot though.

I can do roleplaying biased on the Sonic the hedgehog adventures! If soeone is interested visit me at the 198.211.131.13:9999 ! Im Kiri Megami! Look for me! See you! .
realms.dorsai.org 1501 is the best MUD I've ever played. You must go there. I'm Coyote on it.
You must have suicided your previous character - you gave me a different name.
Yes, in essence, but I didn't think to put my new name on here unless somebody here actually got on... At one point I saw that a Bjorn suicided. Was it you?
Was the character's name Bjorn, or the user's name Bjorn? I will admit that I did MUD there a while, but didn't log on too often and usually left before anybody noticed.
The character's name
Then it wasn't me.
Thanks for the numbers Kiri and coyote...i'll check them out.
what are the numbers after the address? like intense.netaxs.com 4000 What does the 4000 mean?
4000 is the port number
<This item linked from mud to amalgam>
has anyone went to a merp called threshold please if you have tell me what you think.
Welcome to amalgam, Melinda. What is Threshold's address? I may go check it out if I have time.
never heard of it
I'll go check it out if there is an address, but before that: what is a merp?
Middle Earth (JRR Tolkien) Role Playing?
There is a game called MERPS - Middle Earth Role Playing System. A friend of mine has played, and says that it's a fairly complicated simplification of another, insanely complicated system. Bother eldrich, he should know more than I do.
If it indeed stand for Middle Earth Role Playing, then it's a simplification
of the Role Master system by ICE. I have both, but haven't looked at them in
years. Fumble and critial rolls can make for entertaining combat resolutions
('hit causes head to become bloody pulp. Enemy dies.', or 'You fumble your
sword and cut your self. Enemy stunned three rounds due to laughing.')
Doesn't sound like much of a fumble to me, but it's amusing nonetheless.
If you re-read what I wrote you'll see I haven't looked at the books in years so my quotes are drawn from my *very* sketchy memory. It may or may not be the exact words, I just wanted to convey the idea that damage isn't just based on 3d6..
..which is a nice touch, although it can be more trouble than it's worth at times.
Of course it can take some extra time.. But depending on how much you feel like following the rule-books to the letter you can always wing it now and then (as long as everyone playing are ok with it of course). If you're facing a tough opponent it can be nice though that, given *just teeny* bit of luck you can get a good hit and save the day. ;)
(Always though the 'miraculous victory' deal with critical hits to be not very rewarding myself, but not dying is also nice)
well, as a retired veteran of *many* muds, I have to say that there are 2 that stand out in my memory. LooneyMUD and Realms of Despair. here's my blurb on both: LooneyMUD: just as the name implies. you really do miss out on much if you don't have ANSI color or are colorblind... it's more a talker than a killing mud, but it satirizes many things.. from my memory, I've seen Gilligan's Island, the Simpsons, Fantasia, the Power Rangers, Barney, Beavis & Butthead, and all other sorts of crackheadedness. very worthwhile to check out. address is looney.com 8888 Realms of Despair (RoD): The Best Mud I have *ever* seen. I've played this one for over 3 years, and have seen it grow from having under 50 to over 500 players at any given time. they are the originators of the SMAUG mud code, which is worthwhile IAOI. they have a plentitude of original areas, 50 player levels an 15 immortal levels, and great newbie support address is realms.game.org 4000 just my sage words of addiction, KK
(Ah, I see you've finally succumbed to the dark side of BBS...:)
