Connect |
The MUD game runs on a server on the internet. You need the internet address
(URL) or IP numbers and a port number to connect to. I am using Genesis Muds
dot-com; so
rom.genesismuds.com 4422
where 4422 is the port number. To connect you need a MUD client. I will post links to download several here, with a connection for Realms of Myst already set up. You can also search the web for other MUD clients. And most basically, you can forgo a client and connect with telnet - but I do not reccommend that. The clients below are for Windows. For Mac and Linux clients search the web.
MUD Clients
G-mud is a small, easy to use client that lets you use function key macros.
MUSHClient is a more complex program that allows macros, timers, triggers,
scripts, and a lot of functions.
Download one of these archives (Gmud or mushclient, zip or tarball) using
the links below and extract it with an archive handling program (like winzip
or wintar, tar, gzip, etc.) Put the program folder somewhere (such as in
"Program Files") and make a shortcut to the .exe file
[ G-mud (.zip) ] [ G-mud (.tar.gz) ] [ MushClient (windows installer) (exe) ]
Telnet
The telnet protocol should come with any operating system on any computer. With Windows 10, it may not be included at first, but you can install it. I do not recommend using telnet for serious game play, but if you want to try...
Open the command line [windows key, R, cmd] and get the DOS prompt.
Type: telnet rom.genesismuds.com 4422
After a wait, this should connect you to the MUD.
