Hello my name is Jacques.
I haven't played on a MUD for at least 6-8 years. This weekend I decided to give it a try again. Searching around the net I found one that looked pretty interesting. Its called AVATAR MUD.
What attracted me to this one is that there seemed to be a good crowd on it and it feels similar to a mud I used to play back in the 90's. That one wall called EPIC. It was a DikuMUD . (I wonder if the code for that mud exists somewhere. I have lots of memories from it.)
Playing a mud is super simple. Its text based. All you need is a telnet client (built into just about every operating system) or there are tons of java browser based clients.

I used to play that MUD as well. Still one of my fondest memories of college. That code is lost but there are some snippits left of the good stuff in a few other muds. Try http://mud.arctic.org/
