Hmm, well it's not that much work to let people telnet into the chat server, but how is that different from connecting to any one of dozens of games that have Intermud chat?

Also, the mudportal client is a desktop client as well, and features like this one are intended to entice people to congregate on the site.

I'll definitely add a page where people can just chat, from phone or desktop browser.
