Top Mud Sites Forum - View Single Post - Do MUDs need to be "brought into the 21st century"

I am trying to address this very issue--I think bringing new blood (or bringing back old blood) is the most obvious concern for keeping the MUDs we all love alive and growing.

I just released an Android app specific to one mud, that is integrated tightly to that MUD. The mudding experience is the same as it is from a telnet client or other traditional Mud client--but bringing in custom hooks from the MUD to create a touch interface that directly interacts with the MUD, beyond just "dumb" buttons. I hope other MUDs find it interesting enough that they either create their own interactive clients (or talk to me about creating a version for them!)

Check it out if you have interest, just released, but so far I have quite a few thrilled users!
