I run a DikuMUD that users connect to using Telnet I really should update it to allow more secure options

  > that users connect to using Telnet Not anymore ;) Seriously though: did you notice any spikes up or down? If you'd run it on a non-standard port, anyone can still connect with netcat, socat, etc etc.

    Or with telnet (the client)

    Ah, not really. We are on a non-standard port (9000). I just meant some folks use the telnet client to connect, and we do negotiate some telnet options. I use tintin++ these days but I think most of our players are still using decades old zMUD versions to connect!

      I always preferred gmud, but zmud has all the bells and whistles. All I needed was ANSI color, aliases, triggers, and command history. How can I get access?

        ncmdu.net 9000 :) Pretty slow these days, hack 'n slash style game
