Post by Eternities End »

This part of the forum is for an online text-based game. Cthulhumud. I have a feeling there's a post lurking about that says how to go about getting started. I've always used Fireclient for it (at www.firebolt.com i think), which is free. Quite a neat little place once you get your head around it being text-based (I'd never mudded before starting here). Also, www.cthulhumud.com has more information that could be handy if you're interested.

Right-o. To connect to said port, you need a MUD client. The link I provided above (www.firebolt.com) is to a site where you can get your hands on a free MUD client. Fireclient is what I've used the whole time I've been on this MUD, and it works well enough. If you download the client, you can get onto the game by opening Fireclient, then selecting "Run!". After this, select "File", then "New", then you can either manually enter the required info (ID: Cthulhumud, Host: www.cthulhumud.com and Port: 8889) or scroll down the list of MUDs to find it. Once that's done, hit "Connect" and everything should be fine.

So did you ever get into the game? You wouldn't be Roderick, would you? If you still need help, feel free to contact me. Either on here, in game, or by e-mail. I'm about three hours of slaying MOBs away from being done with my hack and slash career, so now would be a good time to hit me up with any questions/concerns you might have that an old player/low-ranking IMM can help with. :)

And of course this goes for any other new players/potential new players that might be reading this.

Incidentally it should be:

ID: Cthulhumud
Host: cthulhumud.com
Port: 8889


www.cthulhumud.com points to Aleister's web server which is not the same as the server the mud is actually on.
