Re: custom clients. Good or bad?
Agreed.
Lets face it, raw telnet sucks. I even hit a couple site to see how well Vista telnet works, and it would not fire up for any of the game sites I hit. I got a pop up window asking if I wanted to telnet, but it never worked. Of course, I did not try to figure out what was wrong, and I doubt most people would.
The best option for MUD owners is to have a simple flash or java client on their site which can quickly get new players into the game. Nothing that requires installation, it just play right in the webpage. Then move them on to something more powerful.
