Additional Methods of Connecting to the Game
One can easily and successfully play our game using the Web Client linked on our home page, generously provided by the folks at mudportal.com, specifically Plamzi, creator of the MUD, 'Bedlam'.
However, for those who want a more robust solution, capable of customizing output, and many other tools, a downloadable MUD client is the way to go.
There are a number of MUD Clients out there. Some paid, some free.
