A lot of ArcticMUD players use JMC (Jaba MUD Client) for Windows, developed by one of the players, Sergey Il'in (aka Jaba*). It's free and open source and was one of the first clients that supported Active Scripting. See
One other nice thing is that JMC scripts are compatible with Tintin for *nix.
There are just 2 widely acknowledged drawbacks:
- Jaba, being a group leader in a successful software company, no longer supports the product. However, since it's open source, you may contact one of the numerous MUD enthusiasts with programming skills that keep producing new versions of the client - or edit the code and compile it yourself.
- Jaba is a brilliant programmer, but a mediocre technical writer (and not a native English speaker). The help files are adequate, but the grammatical errors and style may look ugly.
You may download the JMC client from
(I would recommend using version 3.26 without hotfix, as I do myself).
You may find some simple (yet useful) JMC scripts at:
(Note: JMC was initially developed for ArcticMUD, but it is also a popular client for other MUDs, as this example shows.)
Finally, you're always welcome to ArcticMUD (Dragonlace theme, non-limited PK). Telnet (or better JMC ;--) Â Â :
