Yay for muds. I'm a huge fan of Aetolia by Iron Realms. Roleplay is heavily encouraged. You can do combat, if you like, but it's a very complex world, and so, it's not necessary just to go around killing things.
I do use VIPMud, but I find it has a limitation when it comes to writing long things like in books, journals, and scrolls. I'm trying to figure out a way around this. I'll let you know if I succeed. IPhone mudding is slow for me. I think the client is called TMC, but I'll double check that for you.
