MUD players?

[aktillum]

Hey, are there any MUD players here? I've been playing MUDs for 15 years, never really got into graphical MMORPGs because of the huge lack of roleplay.

Back in the day I was a huge MUD player, but that went by the wayside quite a while ago. I do not know about roleyplaying though: I thought serious roleplayers tended to play MUSHes, not MUDs, per se, though in popular parlance the former is basically a category of the latter. And then again, the sort of people who still play MUDs are probably a somewhat different sort. Last MUD I really played much was God Wars II: The Supernaturalis. And it has a pretty in depth combat system that requires a lot of attention, reflex, and typing.

People still play MUDs?

Back in college, MUDs were how students flunked out.

I reckon MMO's took that job up.

There's still alot of MUD players, I have several friends that play LoL or FF in a window with their MUD client in the background. Achaea has around 400 players during peak hours.

I used to be quite active in a MUD called 'Xyllomer' until a few years after I finished University. It really was a pretty awesome roleplaying experience, but ultimately I ran out of time, as there were too many competing activities. Graphical MMOs cannot compete in that regard at all.
