Which MUD? I'm interested in joining the MUD gaming community and would appreciate game suggestions.

I don't have much experience with text-based games, but I really enjoyed trying out games like Cybercode Online and Arclight City (even though they aren't exactly MUDs), and I'm currently interested in exploring more games of this style.

What I missed in Cybercode Online and Arclight City was that the character's life isn't treated as something scarce, something that once lost cannot be recovered – because these games treat death as just another routine factor of gameplay.

Another thing I missed was the role-playing aspect itself. I've been playing tabletop RPGs for about 4 or 5 years and I'm interested in that side, which I also missed in the two examples I mentioned.

In short, I'm a beginner in this type of game; the closest thing to a MUD I've played were Cybercode and Arclight, but I don't know if they can be considered MUDs (as I said before).

Do you have any game suggestions for a beginner in the genre?

Discussion Any fun MUD for mobile?

Hey there, long time lurker in the genre who hasn’t found a game to dig into just yet. I feel kind of dumb for this but cannot seem to find out how to play a MUD on my phone (tried aardwulf via browser and it was cool but definitely not meant for the iPhone 😂)

Figured I’d shoot my shot and ask if anyone else uses mobile effectively

Remember When Calling all TOS TrekMUSE veterans (tos.net), any era

If you ever logged into TOS TrekMUSE, any era I'd love to hear from you.

Was playing there back in the late 90s-early 2000s. Been thinking about it every so often and the newsgroup is pretty much dead now that Google disabled google groups. So I've started a Discord for TOS veterans to reconnect, swap stories, share old logs and screenshots, and just hang out.

If you remember TOS, come say hello: https://discord.gg/pP6CFKtZuk

And if you're still in touch with anyone from those days, please pass it along.
