Lets play in the MUD

MUD : Multi-User Dungeon.

MUDs are essentially text based adventures, except online. They can be quite alot of fun, so I'm interested in hearing what you guys like to play? My personal favorite is "Aalynor's Nexus," set in a medival/magic setting with elves and whatnot, but it's got some cool backstory and intervention by the Gods. It's not uncommon to see the city of Nexus get assaulted by Goblins and all sorts of nasty creatures. It's RP enforced, so don't go running around yelling about nintendo or anything. I'm kaerin in game if you'd like to contact me. Just type flash kaerin yadayada.

If you'd like to play, pick up a client like MUSHclient. Works much better than just straight up TelNet.

So, discuss! If you'd like to try out Aalynor's, get MUSHclient or an equivalent, and the server info is:
aalynorsnexus.com
port: 2000

So, MUDs, GO!

You might want to know that there is a similar MUD thread which has sort of turned into a Nethack/IVAN game-on thing

The MUD I'v enjoyed the most is the Doom Roguelike, mainly because I'm a big fan of the origonal Doom games and a top down, more stategic version with lots of randomness and RPG goings-on was very appealing, plus, it's not as complicated as many other MUDs so it's easy to wrap your head around but still has a decent amount of depth.

Roguelikes are completely different from MUDs though.

Hotlead Junkie

I.. oh, alright then. I always assumed they were the same thing.

You need to say "whatnot" less.

Also, are there any good MUDs that aren't based on fantasy? I might play one if there was a cool sci-fi one.

SniperGuy

Oh there's TONS of MUDs. You'll find quite a lot of "HEY I'M GOKU, EXCEPT ALSO A PIRATE, IN SPACE." MUDs, but there's quite a few gems in there as well. Haven't ever found a sci-fi one I liked though.
