MUDs

[Brimacombe]

What was your favorite high fantasy MUD? I looked into DartMUD, but I don't think I am ready for a permadeath game just yet.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Why is this is Server Chat and not off-topic? MUDs are cool and all, but P99 is not a MUD and never will be.

Sorry to post in the wrong forum. Any mods are welcome to move this.

I played Archmage for a while years ago, and then again a few months ago but lost interest.

Pre-MMOs, the MUD I spent the most time in was a little game called Aaezure Odyssey.

Post-MMOs, when I feel like jumping into some text based fun, I go to God Wars 2. It has an active combat system where a fight is manual commands only, no auto attack so to speak. If you wanted to strike with your right hand weapon, you type it in, if you want to whirl it beforehand in order to do a special move, yep, you type in two commands, one to whirl, one to slash/pummel/strike/etc.

My favorite mud is clay based, it feels just right between the toes and if it's thick enough you can draw in it, regular earth based mud just doesn't do it for me.

I think I played that too lol. I'd jump on it when servers were down or I was raging over a death. :D

Gemstone IV. If it had a higher population, i'd still be there. Awesome combat system, very unique classes.

Arcticmud http://mud.arctic.org/ was my favorite. Krynn based.

MUD loosely equals multi user dungeon and were/are the text only precursors to EQ wow, etc. Super good times circa 1990, or if your baud is shit.

eq was built from the ground up or whatever but it's really similar to playing a DikuMUD actually.... with obvious differences, but the typing commands are really similar

I always viewed EQ and WoW as shells on a MUD.

EQ, most definitively yes. From the nature of rare drops from rare mobs to the typing in stuff for quests. Hell, even the way warriors played in some MUDs was reflected in classic EQ in that they had pretty much two abilities to use in combat, a fighting move (kick/bash in EQ) and Rescue (taunt in EQ).

WoW, not so much. From guaranteed named mobs to guaranteed drops. Also combat was much more interactive for all classes. Which is why I guess few people used to chat, since you always had something to press or click.

That's one of the things I like about EQ over WoW. You have that time between abilities to type out your chat.

I didn't mind being in Vent with guildies or RL friends in WoW, but I'm not joining random voice chat for PUGs with people I know nothing about. In those instances, I like typing, but when you have a button to press every 1.5sec, you don't have time to type.

Unless your a bard, then you still don't have time to type in EQ.

[Brimacombe]

You can always tell when things are going down because the chanter gets quiet :)
