Top: Games: Online: MUDs

Please submit only general MUD resources to this category. For individual game sites, please choose a more specific subcategory based on game type or genre.
This category is for general information concerned with online games which are known as 'Muds' or 'MUDs' (including all the different types of server/codebase which exist - MUSH, Diku, LP, etc).

These games can be played via a telnet or Java application, or with one of the many 'MUD clients' which are available (mostly free of charge), online.

Chats and Forums

Only MUD/MU*-related message boards and forums may be listed here. While many MUD websites may contain message boards or forums, only those that offer a significant contribution as a resource to the community as a whole will be listed. If a forum or message board is primarily specific to your MUD or website, you should instead consider listing the website itself in the Games: Online: MUDs: Resources category. If you submit a site, please submit the direct link to the forum itself as opposed to the root URL of the website's homepage (for example, use "http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/" instead of just "http://www.gammon.com.au").
A MUD is a text-based game played with multiple users over the internet, typically using the telnet protocol. Website message boards and forums pertaining to mudding can be found in this category.
