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.

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.

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:(
