- Greetings.
-
- I've only recently subscribed to this group. I've come across a few
- conversations concerning MUDS in general. However generally they seem
- to be discounted. True, they are text based at the moment but I'm
- sure work is on going to incorporate both sound and graphics into the
- servers. I'm also sure that many people who become interested in
- these MUDS, end up discouraged after reading the rec.games.mud.*
- newsgroups due to the extremely high noise ratio there.
-
- I'd like to take the time to invite you to help me evaluate my MUD.
- Its named AfterFive and runs at pa.itd.com on port 9999 The numbers
- for pa are 128.160.2.249 9999 Hours of operation are from 5 pm until 8
- am CST.
-
- This system was built to simulate Bourbon St. in New Orleans,
- Louisiana. In addition to the simulation I incorporated a Citadel
- style BBS. I'm sure that my database could use a considerable amount
- of improvement. At the moment I'm more concerned with the user
- interface and usability of the software. Items I'd like to expand on
- are the incorporation of high quality sound and graphics, speech
- recognition and synthesis, and of course enhancing the text interface.
-
- If you are interested drop in and check AfterFive out. I'd be VERY
- interested in hearing constructive comments about the system. My
- e.mail address is howard@pa.itd.com and I can be found online as
- "Howard".
