Hi,

I've seen a lot of messages here about muds. I'm getting the impression that, given that not many audiogames are made any more, seems like muds are the way forward if I want to try anything new.

I don't know a lot about them, in fact I thought "mud" was a game, but based on messages that I'm seeing I'm getting the impression they're merely a type of game.

The only think I really know is that you need a "mud client", suggesting that they're online based. That makes me think of things like QuentinC and RS, but even that doesn't quite sound right somehow.

Years ago, I tried to use VIPMud but got nowhere, then was told that it wasn't supported so I should go use this other thing (which was apparently better anyway). My teacher then Enthusiastically got me to press loads of buttons, only to discover that I got a whole screenload of errors, and then they didn't know what to do with themselves and clicked off. So bang went that idea.

That was the last I heard about muds for a while, up to now.

So I'd be interested to know how they work, how I might go about trying one without embarrassing myself, which client I should try, which game I should try, etc etc.

Even better, if someone has any free time and would be willing to actually sit and go through it with me step by step privately on a call or something, that would be amazing. Especially since the one lesson I learned from my disaster of a session is that it's not a case of download, launch, play, like most audiogames are.

It'll probably turn out to be one of those things that sounds overly complicated now, but in a year I'll be a whiz at it. Hopefully.

Cheers.
