| Please submit only general MUD resources to this category. For individual game sites, please choose a more specific category based game type or genre. |
This category is for general information concerned with online games which are known as 'Muds' or 'MUDs' (including all the different types of server/codebase which exist - MUSH, Diku, LP, etc).These games can be played via a telnet or java application, or with one of the many 'MUD clients' which are available (mostly free of charge), online.
MUDs categorized by codebase.
A MUD is a virtual environment where a number of players interact all at once. MUD stands for Multi-User Dimension (sometimes also Dungeon). Roleplaying MUDs require a player to do a large amount of acting (and re-acting) as if they were actually their character. Typical fantasy MUDs feature "sorcery & swords" themes, a cross between medieval times and the use of magic. These MUDs can usually be reached through a telnet address with MUD client software.
| Only MUD/MU*-related message boards and forums may be listed here. While many MUD websites may contain message boards or forums, only those that offer a significant contribution as a resource to the community as a whole will be listed. If a forum or message board is primarily specific to your MUD or website, you should instead consider listing the website itself in the Games: Online: MUDs: Resources category. If you submit a site, please submit the direct link to the forum itself as opposed to the root URL of the website's homepage (for example, use "http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/" instead of just "http://www.gammon.com.au"). |
A MUD is a text-based game played with multiple users over the internet, typically using the telnet protocol. Website message boards and forums pertaining to mudding can be found in this category.
| Please submit either general client resources or clients that can be used on multiple operating systems, to this category. For clients relating to a specific Operating system (OS) please choose a more specific category out of the following: |
Clients are programs that connect to MUDs allowing players access. Clients are based on telnet or java and range from the very basic to the very advanced.
Sites whose purpose is to provide a comprehensive overview of the development and building of zones, areas and game structure within a mud. Typical entries are software related programs for mud building, sites with content focused on online creation programs within muds and online creation manuals.
A collection of links to MUDlists - pages devoted to allowing people to find (or select) a MUD to play, or to locate one which they are already aware of.
Publications and articles concerning virtual communities but concentrating on MOOs, or mentioning certain MOOs
|
Please submit only sites that deal with multiple MUDs or are otherwise independent of a single MUD to this category. Sites dealing with playing on a particular MUD should be submitted to the same category as the game's official site. |
Players' sites that are devoted to several different MUDs, or that are independent of any particular MUD.
