Hi Devin. I'd actually always recommend mushZ for alteraeon, even though I'm generally in favour of Vipmud for other muds. Setting it upis no problem, there is no need to connect or mess around with ports, even the speech runs pretty instantaniously with most readers I do know getting mushZ t

Well, this game is an online one, so you need something, called a client, to connect to it. In this case, you need a MUD client to connect to Alteraeon. There are two main contenders for this space, Mush-Z and VIP MUD. MUSH-Z is a little less newbie friendly, but has way better sounds. VIP MUD

(Note - replying only to the original post by Dark. The rest of the thread is a tarpit I'd rather not be mired in.) Locks are an obnoxious mechanic that we as builders haven't been happy with for a long time. The core issue is that locks are too binary; you can either unlock them fairly easily,

Hi kieth. Yes, the knock spell is an alternative to pick locks, but being as mana is far more useful than movement and harder to acquire, and that the picklock skill seems over all more efficient, it should really have a bit more to recommend it as a choice, eg as I said being slower but more

Well from what I've seen thus far, knock and picklock are about the same in terms of the doors they can open, it's just the mechanics that are different, or to put it another way, I've never encountered a door that can be picked but can't be knock spelled or visa versa, though there are certain
