Anyone here ever mudded?

I'm still a huge MUD fun, I love it. Nothing like leveling up some characters and reaching immortality. MUDing is all good, no need for eye candy graphics.. just hardcore fun. 🙂
 
Try geno.org port 2222 if you're looking for something new. It has an innovative warring style, except not too many people play anymore.
 
Yah I used to play medevia, that is until I got a better machine at work 🙂 Now I toss in a game of Shogun for Fifa 2000 when I get bored. But MUDDING is addictive, kinda weird, its a pain in the ass but I keep coming back to it.
 
Same. I might go away and play Deus Ex etc for a while, but i always head back to the mud. I guess its the people you meet online
 
Mudding is basic gaming in an online world. Everything is pretty much written in ascii-so you can run it on a 486. It is basically a cross between nethack and the old Zork styled adventure games. The major difference being that the worlds are populated by real people, as well as ?mobs?. Although the graphics look like crap (it?s text based generally)-the game play is often superb. A lot of these ?Muds? have been around for years and are very sophisticated. The mud I play on has clans, player killing, heroing etc Another bonus is the social aspect-being able to get online and meet new people. The mud I play on is in New Zealand-but is inhabited b Kiwi?s, Aussies, Americans, Canadians and somewhat dodgy Swedes.

In recent times the number of Muds has been declining- basically because of their lack of visual appeal and because of the time it takes to understand them. They really are fun though
 
The Mud I am usually on is called Dragons Domain. The address is mud.nzl.com port 8888
The simplest client to use is Zmud- which can be obtained here?

I will be on in about 4 hours from posting this- if you want -come on and i will give you the low down.
 
I used to MUD on discworld MUD which is based on the discworld series by Terry pratchett. nice fun MUD without the generic lord of the rings story.

stopped mudding when they put in the damn firewall and vowed to not touch MUD again since it was so addictive and my grades were slipping.

Zmud used to kick ass!
 
Arghh, you make it sound so tempting... DAMN YOU!!!

must... resist.. temptation...

aww screw this, just a quick one...

hmm... mud.nzl.com 8888 times out, mud.nzl.com connects but is automatically booted, discworld works fine, sure you got the port right?
 
no icq due to firewall, no zmud due to firewall

the only thing I have now is the default windows telnet terminal

just to check since it has been a long time... the syntax is:

telnet<space>mud.nzl.com<space>8888

right?

what I am getting is
Trying 209.192.58.47...
and it stays like that for about a minute before I manually disconnect.
 
Gosh I wasted 3 years back at Uni, and used to hang out on Surfers a few years back. Not spodded for several years now, but certainly have a few hours under the belt 🙂
 
just for the record, 888 does not work either

[edit] discworld mud does not work on a different prot either, I figure it's the firewall. Oh well, DAMN![/edit]
 
they got a bloody T1 satellite which can transfer us to 750 KB/s (personal experience, can probably do more) and they dont let you do anything but use netscape, even ftp is buggered
