Clients
To play MUDII, you can connect with any terminal emulator (telnet or ssh, username mud), or you can use a client, which is specialised software for playing the game, or MUDs in general.
The easiest way to play is to use the client built into the website. You can click on "Play Now" at the top-right of every page on the site, or click here.
Here are some other clients which you may like to try:
Clio is a well-established client, written specifically for MUD2, available for Windows, MacOS and other platforms.
Mucka is a new client, written Ollie. It's also available for Windows and MacOS, but will also be made available for tablets. It's currently under active development.
An open-source (free) MUD client, not specific to MUD2.
A commercial MUD client, not specific to MUD2.
Whether you use the client built into the website, a dedicated client, or any other software, be aware that crashes and network errors can happen. You use the client at your (and your persona)'s own risk!
