Other MUDs

[PTERY]

Looking for another mud to play. No disrespect to gmud but I feel like there isn't going to be any action here for a while.

Would prefer something mmud-like, though I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist. Am not interested in games like WoW. Text > graphics.

Do you program?

Ptery's post is old. However I will reply anyhow because I am handsome.

Here are some games he might enjoy off the top of my head. Which is 8 to 10 times better looking than your fat stupid head.

I'm assuming Ptery wants multiplayer games, but just in case he isn't, I'll include some single player PUSSY GAMES.

1. Dwarf Fortress - http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ If any game can cater to Ptery's autism, it's this one. It's also deliberately retro in style (ascii graphics) so while its single player, I think you'd get a kick out of it. Also, fuck you.

2. Minecraft - http://www.minecraft.net/ Again with the autism theme, while this isn't necessarily like mmud, you'll find some similarities when you play on a pvp minecraft server. It's also deliberately retro, and fuck off.

3. Ultima Online -http://www.uoherald.com/ I won't list other "sandbox FFA PVP" type mmos as they typically won't match the commodore64 graphics you're looking for, but Ultima has a ton of free player-run shards that have very similar rules to Majormud. That and you can build houses, fish, and be a general fuckbutt, which is something I know you enjoy. The fuckbuttery, that is. And scrabble.

Those are obvious choices, but here are some non-obvious ones, MOTHERFUCKER.

4. Haven & Hearth - http://www.havenandhearth.com/portal/ A semi recent update made it too complex for HULK to understand, but this is a very non-demanding java survival based mmo. You start out with literally nothing, naked in the forest (reminds me of middle school) and are forced to forage, dig, build, fuck bears, etc TO SURVIVE. Then you eventually start a community with other autists and farm, hunt, build, until a month later a zerg of Russian players swarm you, kill you, burn everything, and leave signs with dick jokes in russian. THIS REALLY HAPPENS. Also it has perma-death. You'd fucking love this game.  My advice is to build big ass walls and learn russian. Or else you won't understand the dick jokes.

5. Tale In The Desert - http://www.atitd.com/ This one might stress Ptery's 386, but not by much. It's an mmo, however its  a bit different in that its dedicated almost completely to crafting and creating. A sort of wannabe simulation of ancient Egypt, you as the player take on a role and do shit. And uh, do more shit. One semi neat thing is the community votes on changes to the game, and the devs actually implement those changes, sort of as if they were Gods. So if you vote/pray hard enough for some friends, Ptery, you may get them. This one actually has zero pvp so, uh, yeah. Go play this one, pussy.

6. OTHER MUDS. This may be what you were looking for in the first place, but there are SOOOO many it becomes difficult to list. I've tried a few and while some have really nifty features, I just couldn't get into them the same way I can with majormud. Maybe I'm a huge retard? A decent spot to start looking is http://www.topmudsites.com/. I would warn you, however, of a few things. Almost none of these have the same type of pvp "feel" that majormud has. Nearly all of them have pvp but its not going to be the same. Also nearly all of them will, at some point, want you to ERP (erotic-role-play) to actually get anywhere in the game. Don't act like you're not into that. On a semi-related note, Gardner has a female character on almost all of these muds. Mostly the dirty ones.

Again, like I FUCKING said, I won't list other FFA PVP (sandbox or not) mmos, but just in case I was lying, some of those would be "Mortal Online" http://www.mortalonline.com/, "Darkfall Online" http://www.darkfallonline.com/, and "EVE Online" http://www.eveonline.com/. While I realize you are looking for text and/or old-school type games, EVE especially is fun... its like trade wars in space on a giant-ass-fuck scale, and is a game that rewards aspies with high functioning social skills. You would do well.


Thanks and fuck off,

Agreed, best post of all time.

This game is badass.
