Re: MudGamers - a new mud portal site

Thanks for the link Zeno. I read it...and what it basically said was:

graphics, graphics, bitmap, video, website design, audio, graphics, graphics, drawing, pictures, movies, graphics, graphics, video, youtube, video, graphics, drawing, website design, audio, quicktime, audio, websites design, and graphics. With a heavy P.S. on graphics.

So basically, you have to enable an application (or add on) that is designed -primarily- to deal with graphics, just so you can interact with a text game. Even though there are already lots and lots of text clients out there that are designed specifically to deal with text. Sort of like how some games have java clients on the browsers, which I've always found extremely clunky and unreliable.

I did go to the website, and looked around. It seems that none of the games listed can actually be accessed with flash - where one might possibly find a command button to link to the game, there is a sentence saying that it isn't operational.

I love the idea of more mud fansites, but considering the ease and familiarity the vast majority of people have with telnet-type clients, I don't know if flash would become very popular as a replacement or substitute.
