FAQ Collecting

Using this thread to gather frequently asked questions that I can make into a FAQ for the website. Feel free to suggest FAQ ideas!

You shouldn’t feel stupid asking: HOW DO I CONNECT TO OTHERSPACE?!

This technology is decades old. OtherSpace MUSH lives on a server to which you can connect via telnet. Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, we had a couple of popular client programs available for PC, including SimpleMU and MUSHClient.

After you connect to the MUSH, you’ll see a screen with options for creating a character or connecting to an existing character.

Given that SimpleMU hasn’t been fondled since 2018 perhaps it’s not a good idea to keep recommending it, even by implication. A list of maintained clients for Windows that work wouldn’t go astray I think.

[Wes Platt]

I recommend it because I still use it, even if it hasn’t been updated in ages. But, yeah, as I roll out official posts about this kind of thing, it’s time to focus on apps like MUDlet, which continue to get updates.

I second Mudlet. Using it on MacOS. Solid program.
