I’ve been playing a bit of Discworld and Aardwolf MUDS lately. Just to try out the genre, and I’ve had the opposite experience. In Discworld, you have to assign yourself as a “player killer” in order to both kill or be killed by other players. Perhaps this is idiosyncratic to Discworld. I know early RuneScape has the same setup.
I’m brand new to MUDs and 100% of my interactions have been ether helping or being helped by other players to learn and play the game.

- duskwuff 6y agoHoly shit, Aardwolf is still around? I think I remember playing that somewhere around 2001 -- incredible that it's still around.
- BugsJustFindMe 6y agoNot only is it still around, but according to http://mudstats.com/Browse http://mudstats.com/Browse it appears to be currently the largest free to play non-"adult"-themed MUD.
