The mud client has been text mainly on zombie mud located at zombie.terminal.org port 2150 zombie is based off of circlemud code version 8 There have been some breif test on other muds, mostly friends of mine telling me what the client won't do on some other mud I've fixed every one of the problems thus far. to my knowledge the client should work on any normal mud.
The client was created due to pueblo client's lack of updates, it stopped working after I installed some updates to my windows. I disliked all other clients I found so I decided to write one.
