Okay, I'll do my best here since I've used vip-mud and mudconnect.com. First, when you go to the mud connect sitee choose I think it's the 3rd link on the page something about mud listings and that will give you the choice of finding a game by name, category, mud code type, or to use the mud connect big list. I prefer the mud big list since, though it does list every game by alphabetical order, it does give you a link for the mud home page if it has one and also tells you if the mud is connected, timed out, or connection refused. To get the mud port number you should click on the mud game name and it will bring up another page filled with stats, a brief overview and more. Near the top, after where it says to log in then to go to the member site, you'll find the stats and it will show you the game ranking, the code base, when it was created, and then the site which for example might say mudconnect.com 5000 that is the address and the port number if this was a real mud game. Some have long numbers like 6565 98.9.900.22 but you only need the main first numbers for the port number to enter into the mud client. Don't click on play now or a connect button as that will think you want to use telnet and if your running jaws, that's a pain and not worth the time it takes to use. Usually, vip-mud wants the character name you want to be, the mud game name, the mud game site address, and the port number. Though I've heard the David Greenwood from GMA Games is or was working on an updated version of the vip-mud client, but its not available yet.
If you're looking strictly for text-based games, you might want browser based games you can play through your internet browser without downloading a client or worrying about port numbers. If you need more help finding either a mud game or browser game, let me know kind of what you're looking for and I can send along links. Good luck. Chastity chastitymo...@msn.com<mailto:chastitymo...@msn.com> there are several ways to search for games, one is by name, one is by game code what its written in, one is by general category like vampires or harry potter, and the last is through the big mud list where it lists every game in alphabetical order with its name a www link for the home page and tells you if the game is connect or timed out or connection refused. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
