Keith,
To directly answer your mush-z question, no, not all games are mush-z
compatible. You'll be able to connect to them, but hardly any of the
mush-z features will work in them. That's because mush-z was
primarily designed for Alter Aeon, and other games don't have the same
trigger strings or the same features.
However, the other problems you've run into are perfectly normal for
the so-called mudding community. Nearly all muds are put up by
players who think it would be cool to run their own mud. They work on
it for a few months, get it on all the mud connector lists, then stop
working on it and let it die. They often run the game server from
their cable modem connection, so when the IP address changes, all the
mud lists are wrong. In short, most muds are 'hobby' quality or
worse, and if you pick a random one from mudconnector you can consider
yourself lucky if the server is running at all.
The reason that there are so many of these hobby muds is because it
doesn't take any real technical knowledge to start a server. There
are many prefab server packages out there that you can just unzip and
run, and a few minutes of customization will let you change the name
and a few other minor things. However, to actually do anything
interesting takes a lot of work, usually more than people are willing
to put in, and that's why good muds are so rare.
Good luck,
Dennis Towne

Hi, I have been going to a bunch of mud pages on the mud connector site, and
entering the world info into mush z, but more often than not, I either get a
connection problem, or a time out error.
I have tried ...

Kind of frustrating.
Cyber assault has loaded up, along with some of the marvel comic book ones,
but the marvel ones I cannot create a player character because it tells me
to log in a guest, and when I type the command, it does some odd things.
Are not all games mush z compatible?
Or do Muds lose their TCIP addresses and becomes obsolete? Noticed that on
several games, like the Anodyne and gamma world games
Thanks for any help and suggestions you all ccan give me. Also, is there a
mud group to join so I can take these discussions away from this list, don't
want to clutter the list with my stupidity.
