Re: MudGamers - a new mud portal site

Currently we only have a few games that are Flash enabled, however I expect this to increase soon as the major hosting services add support for Flash at the server end.

With MudGamers I hope to target new markets and attract gamers who may be unfamiliar with MUDs and text gaming and as such it's important to present a simple and consistent interface to the games. Requiring a client download and setup or having to follow instructions to enable telnet support in their OS would likely put off a lot of potential players. My aim is to make it easy for players to play MUDs right in their browser without any additional download or setup.

I also want to move away from being a listing site and more towards a gaming community where players can play their favourite games on the site. I hope that this will not only be attractive to new gamers, but also help many smaller MUDs by making it easier to share players among themselves. I've already added a very basic chat to the client so players on different games will be able to communicate with each other and I have plans in the future to introduce cross game support for community features such as rankings, competitions and badges on the site.
