MUDs - Do you?
« on: January 14, 2008, 02:54:30 PM »
I'm a big fan of playing text MUDs online, versus the graphic MMORPGs. The fact that it's an RPG that is all text means you've got extra wiggle room for creativity - much fun. It's also easier on an older computer like mine.

I was curious if I was the only one? If you're not sure what I'm talking about, here's an example of one that I play - http://www.achaea.com

I do :) In fact, I help run one, wotmud :)

The one I help run is the Wheel of Time MUD, which has been running for 15 years and, as the title suggests, follows the Wheel of Time theme :).

For those of you who have never MUDded before, there is a useful page here which explains some of what MUDding is about, what's fun about it and so on.

If you have any further questions about MUDs, don't hesitate to drop me a mail via these forums or in-game :)

I used to MUD like no tomorrow :D

In fact, nass... I think I was in the WoT MUD you speak of for a while ! :D

Ahh...the good old days when you didn't need a high powered computer to game with :D

I would join another MUD but I don't have much time anymore ....*sigh*

Ah, that brings back some memories. :)  I used to play a MUD based in Sweden called Midnight Sun.  That lastest until I got out of college and got a real job.  Suddenly, I didn't have the time to play like I used to.  I guess that's part of growing up.

Even with all of the MMORPGs out there these days, MUDs still have a fond place in my heart.

I haven't even considered playing a MUD. Before I looked at this thread, i didn't know they were called MUDs. And I can kind of tell you are a WoT fan just by your picture, nass
