Hi,
Just curious, does any of you play muds? And if so, which ones do you play?
Personally I've been playing some of the standard diku muds and other codebases like that, like midevil-ish theam with magic thrown in, although I'm still fairly active at SWMud which is a starwars mud, I've tried some others, but there are too many to list here, some I suicided my character a day after I started it.
Malthe.
i play one called harry potter online, hogwarts live (also a potter one) and the kingdom of loathing, a more exciting one, where you have to do diffrent quests
Great, is that a web one? Or do you use a mud client to play it?
Those are web games, not muds.
AS for myself, I play a mud called Miriani. Info on that can be found at www.toastsoft.net
I've played some others, but none that I've stuck with that long other than the formentioned and a couple that have since been shut down.
Yay miriani.
there is also alter aeon and I guess alot of people like this one called god wars..
Oh. There's one called galactic conquest. The connection info is:
gc.duranaki.com Port 2323
It's not like a normal mud. It's an empire building game, and you don't have a character that moves per say. You control ships that you own (you start out with one, and get more, building your empire against other players trying to build theirs.)
I played for a while, and had fun for a bit, but I got bored. However, I'm easily bored, so don't necessarily let that deter you.
Great, is it a strategy-ish thing?
also, as far as miriani goes. www.liamerven.com/miriani has a link to a client we use as well as a self-installing sound pack.
yay Liam!
sounds like fun...Um, at the moment I don't play any muds. I used to play one called Unicorn Valley, but I got my characters stuck in a picture and so now I can't really play any more. LOL. I'll probably check sme of those other Muds out though, they sound like fun. :)
hey everyone i play hel its a cool mud. i never used to play them until my friend got me in to them i have also played godwars and eternal darkness. but my favourate one is hell its more realistic in some ways. i use a mud client to play it. if anyone is interested the hoste is hell.game-host.org and the port is 7777. its great try it. i have two charactors on there called lima and corol. corol is in a corp which is a company called blinkies if anyone wants to join then look out for me on there i will be able to add you in the corp with me, kelwin or on some games he may be known as andural. and my other friend sweetsoprano.
To the persot that asked about galactic conquest: yes, it's a strategy game. It gets reset every... 2 to 3 months I think. It's been a while since I set foot on there.
to the person that posted about the hell game: what's the plot?
hell is an evil evil game. like seriously. you do stuff that even I question the morality of. but for some reason it amuses me. you can find out more info at http://hell.game-host.org. remember it's for those who are 18 and over. and there are very good reasons for this.
ok I use monkey term and can't figure out how to make a new connection to add a new mod, like I had the merry oney scripts, and then uninstalled monkey term and now want to play alter eon but can't connect, help please
That's because using monkeyterm, in order to make it accessible you have to have certain things actually as a part of your script in order to make it accessible with speech. You can find some useful instructions about this at http://www.randylaptop.com/mudding/client.php Hope that helps.
kallistimud.com 4000
that's my all time fav, it's been around sense 1992 as well.
forgive the stupidity...
I have telnet installed, automatticly. Now, if I wanted to play a game that didn't have it's connection linked, like where I could click the link and telnet would just pop up and be ready,
how do I go in and enter in the port info for a game with it's info just, there, not linked?
hope no one got confused...
never heard of muds. must be an idiot lol.
Carla.
windows key r
then type cmd in the box hit enter
type telnet address.com space port number
there ya go.
once ya get done exit to return to windows.
I'm lost.
right, so I hit cmd and enter
and it said something to the effect of
"Compact_owner>"
I'm not exactly, sure how to enter in the address and port. it's a .org address
is it address space port enter?
I tried that, and it didn't work.
hitting tab, it gave me a list of applications, desktop, print hood, stuff like that.
so.. yeah.
*wanders around in darkness
Personally I use a mud client do to aliases and scripting capabities, but you can do it in a number of ways, among them are these, if I remember correctly:
1: run, cmd, press enter, telnet <address> <port-num>, then it's something like control-something to quit out, you can get help on it by just launching telnet from the command prompt.
2: in run Type telnet:host:port
3: You could just not use the command prompt and type it strait into run, telnet adddr port.
Hth, Malthe.
It depends on which version of windows you are running. Another way that works in windows XP is to go to the run prompt, type telnet, then press enter. in the telnet window that comes up, type o (for open) followed by a space, then the address, another space, then the port number.
wooooo Miriani rules!!
actually I got mad at someone so I never log on anymore. but my name's Xandria Fellbrooks or something like that I forgot what it was.
Alter Aeon is awesome, to.
yehp alter aeon is a grate game. its very easy at first but gets harder
Alter aeon is boring.
I don't see how you guys do muds. I mean, it's ok, if I want to be aggravated at something, but don't you get all the funny signs like
(^b)(A)[[[]]
you know, that sort of thing? when I play, I have to delete them away, and it's just annoying.
lol, but that's my non technical self at work.
*shrugs.
what do you mean, Do you get those when you type or something?
I've been playing muds for a good 13 years or more. there a blast.
the most accessable game out there.
like, yeah when I type, and they're in the reading part too sometimes. lol, people like me just shouldn't bother with complicated things like that. :P
I think those are anci colours, in some muds you can turn those off. I can't remember if monkey term actually strips them away or something, not sure though, I never turn them on.
I tried MonkeyTerm once, and it wouldn't work for me. I tried everything I could to get it to log onto Miriani for me, but nothing worked. I much prefer Telnet, because once I get past all the intro stuff, jaws reads new stuff to me automatically.
I don't like Alter Eon much, because I could never get past level five or so. Miriani was fun, but I couldn't figure out how to do...pretty much anything. so mostly I just stick to UV.
What is UV?
Does anyoue know of any other muds/mush/muks besides the ones that were mentioned?
I'm looking for something a bit more then what has been hi these mentioned ones.
Hello,
For those of you into roleplay, check out Firan Mux.
http://firan.legendary.org
firan.legendary.org 5000
It's a really interesting game with a just as interesting world.
Thats more what I've been looking for, more roleplay type stuff.
to Coldshadow UV is Unicorn Valley.
To Orin: Thanks, I'll have to check it out. sounds like fun.
The husband and I have recently joined Miriani. My character is a tall, nerdy, black boy named Lamont Cranston; he's a member of the Commonwealth of Free Spirits. My husband is Robard something, and is in Hail. For now, I am just using the Windows telnet client. I may check out the page on Liam's site regarding Miriani. I had no success with Monkeyterm.
I was a bit hesitant to try Miriani, due to previous bad experience on muds, especially as a newbie. We are agreed that the folks on Miriani are most polite, helpful, welcoming.
Also, to those who like rollplaying, there is a mud called materia magica. You can find the sight at materiamagica.com port 6666, but there are a lot of other ports like 9000 and a couple more so check it out!
for anyone into the startrek based stuff, there are a couple mushes out there you might like,
ats.trekmush.org port 1701
tkhasi.betterbox.net port 4342.
It's all about hell moo!!
what is exactly the hell mud based off of?
Maybe you should spend the 10 seconds to read the link which was provided earlier to Hell instead of expecting us to tell you absolutely everything.
damn!!! no need to get fucken! mad about it!
Hmm, another mud to try is avalon
go to this link for information:
http://www.avalon-rpg.com
yeah, i've actually played that one
