clarified some of the instructions for how to start playing MUD2 (but, again, still planning on completely overhauling this page to make it look Elizabethan Tearoom-esque)
how does a complete newbie to MUDs get started in 2024? asking for myself of course
Well, if you want to hop in and check out MUD2, there's the aforementioned in-browser client (to actually play MUD2 for realsies, and not as a guest, you'll need to go to http://www.mudii.co.uk (http, not https) to make an account (again, completely free)). For further instructions, see https://friday-girl.neocities.org/mud2/
Multi-User Dungeon (or MUD1) was pretty much the OG MMO (MUD2 is a _slightly_ updated version of MUD1). It's entirely text-based, permadeath, no microtransactions/DLCs, and is completely free to play nowadays, with instances at http://mudii.co.uk (hosted in the UK) and https://mud2.com (hosted in Canada) - I play on the mudii.co.uk instance myself.
If you want to hop in and try it, the simplest method is via https://mudii.glitch.me (an in-browser client for the mudii.co.uk instance), you can just hop in as a guest or go to http://mudii.co.uk to actually make an account (so you can actually do the MUDding). Granted, I'd suggest actually installing a MUD client (such as Clio or using Mudlet with the MUDKIP_Mud2 package) to get a much more user-friendly experience
Participated in a bash, got my ass kicked by an evil clown doll, scimitared a fox, smashed a butterfly got ambushed by an angry ape and sent to Jesus. Great game, recommend to everyone reading it
Winnie is now a necromancess. Chances are she's gonna die sooner rather than later.
for whatever reason my site ended up with nearly 50k views and it's only been around for about a year, not sure what's up with that
gotta get me some of those 🙏🙏
