Hey anyone play MUDs?
Im thinking about starting one up and if I'll get players right away that would help me think about it faster ;)
For you who don't know its a multi-user dungeon and is done in text. Think about IRC except a game having actul rules and bad guys (mobs) to fight. Don't get MUDs and MUSHs mixed up though a MUSH is where you just chat what is happening in the game. a MUD lets you walk around and kill shit. (like dungeon siege only text)...
If I create one I'll be using a codebase based on godwars (which is based on whitewolf RPGs)
Oh yeah its written in linux and you telnet to it with a good telnet program...example for a good program would be Zmud because its a mud client and helps you play better...
PS> don't diss the fact that its text. When you have 30-40 people playing at the same time without massive lag it can be awsome. It keeps my interest more ;)
EDIT: Oh yes since I will only go on it when im at work I'll need other coders and shit I believe...Its done in C++ if you wanted to know. (actully i learned C++ by coding muds)
