Like the subject says. Does anyone here MUSH or MUD with regularity? If you do, where?

<selfish mode> I'm on two games, an original sci-fi MUSH (RP) game and one new fallout themed place that's starting up and wondered, if anyone would be interested. </selfish>

Used to play Medievia way too much.

Not anymore, I have better things to do nowdays.

Back in '98 Uts almost joined a Dune MUSH, but didn't because the combat rules were complete free-form roleplay, and the people were kind of weird. Basically he chatted in the entry lounge, but that was about it.

I used to play Newdawn and the Orginal Godwars back in 95/96.

The 2 main reasons why I got kicked out of Uni after 2 years..

I did try the Discworld one once or twice, but it wasnt particulery intresting.

Ya know... I looked into this thread because it was about Mush/Muds, and I was interested in finding a new game.

Dammit Nephtys! I met you on those games!

I do.

Currently I only really play at a multitheme place called GateMUSH. Don't laugh.

I used to be all over the place, though: M3, Videoland, etc. etc. But I'll disavow any knowledge of Multiverse Crisis since that place almost totally killed my desire for online RPGs.

You met her on the first. The second.. I'm still waiting to see if it works.

...And technically I should finish descing Port Empire...

Um...there was this one MUD called...shit...Ice-something. I remember it because Baron Lowe was on it.

EDIT: It was called Icemule Trace, but I don't think that's the particular one I was thinking of.

I used to play on several MOOs, and was on the staff on a couple of them. Only one or two were actual full-blown games; the rest were more-or-less RP-based, perhaps augmented by a supplementary combat system. Here are the ones I remember, in roughly chronological order:

Writers of D'ni (based on the backstory of Cyan's MYST games)
Star Conquest (full-blown game in original SF setting, very well-done)
Elendor (Middle Earth setting)
Where No One Has Gone Before (alternate Star Trek timeline)
GalaxyWeb: Stellar Epoch (another game by the makers of Star Conquest)

I dropped out of the scene pretty abruptly after graduating from high school. MUDs might be somewhat more intelligent than those graphical MMORPGs, but they're still dangerously addictive. I wasn't really able to find a comfortable middle ground between full-blown addiction and cold turkey, so I chose the latter.

I've played a ridiculous number of MUD's over the years, but I think I've finally given them up for good. Been clean and MUD-free for over a year now.

When I read this, I stuck it in my diary to respond to a year later. The sodding thing opened up like 4 days early, that's so irritating. Fucking windows. I hoped I wouldn't still be mudding and I'd have moved on to bigger and better things, like earning loads of money.

And I have.

I still mud though:(

The one you were thinking of was Asylum - www.asylum-mud.org
