Re: Going Graphical

Although Iron Realms has a "pretty" client, all of our games are compatible with any telnet client.

Having said that, if you're interested in getting a lot of players there are very good reasons to build your game with a graphical client. That's all the big MUDs like World of Warcraft and company are, for instance - MUDs with graphical front-ends. There's no chance that WoW would have even a tiny fraction of its present user base were it constrained by the need to also provide an equal experience via a text client.

is developing because it is the only way to appeal to the vast majority of the gaming population.
