Ask HN: Can you recommend some good MUD games?

10 points by rayalez ↗ HN
Recently I got really curious about MUD(multi-user-dungeon) games, which are text adventures, like Zork, but are played by many users over the internet.

I think this is very fascinating, and I'm surprised that I wasn't aware of these before, so I thought it would be awesome to see some HN discussion about them.

MUD's are awesome. I will definitely encourage anyone who hasn't played in a MUD before to jump over to http://www.mudconnect.com, http://www.topmudsites.com, http://mud.reddit.com or the like, and find a MUD to try.

I haven't been playing much recently, so it's hard to recommend any specific ones, but I was enjoying Sindome a while back. It's a Cyberpunk themed game that a lot of HN'ers might enjoy.

I've had an account on 4 Dimensions for (wow) 18 years now. I log in every now and then to check things out but don't play regularly anymore. I do see some of the same people there and I they still update and improve as far as I know.
