Honest question. MUDs are free; why would I pay for this one? What makes it better than others or especially, why use the paid version instead of the free version available? Thanks!

I've been going through the Crystite mines quite a bit because it gives XP and also progress towards some items, but I think its time for me to start branching out. Does anyone have any recommendations for other newbie friendly zones to get XP and stuff?...

Is there a way to ssh to batmud? I'd prefer not to enter my password over telnet. It's obviously a different password than I use elsewhere, but still.

I tried to initiate it several times but the client doesnt work, i have windows 11. Any solution?

I have an old computer where batclient works just fine. When I install batclient on my new computer it wont start. If I follow the instructions and disable steam cloud and delete C:\Users\xxx\batclient and C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\xxx\616920 and restart my computer I get a message saying "You are missing crucial configuration files..." and it will try to recreate them. Nothing happens for several minutes and I have to tell Steam to stop the program. When I hit play again the client will start...
