"gisco_tn, were the Alteraeon players using the free version of Vipmud or the fully paid version?
I thought that Msp was restricted if you had only the free version and the thirty day trial you get when you first install Vipmud had run out.
I do remember back when I first tried Vipmud in 2010, I was playing with the restricted mode since the trial ran out on me due to a computer crash, and I had no sounds in Materiamagica until I bought the program.
Admittedly that was quite a while ago with vipmud 1.0 rather than the modern version and manifestly I've not had to use the demo since.

You may play the full version of VipMud free for thirty days. After this period, you can play a slightly slimmed down version of VipMud for free. The slimmed down version only supports one session at a time, no MSP, no Debug Module, and a maximum play time of two hours before you will need to start-up VipMud again. As a bonus, if you play Valhalla Mud, the two hour limit is waved. We do not have any business relationship with ValHalla. We offer this service to provide you with a MUD client without the need to make a purchase. But, please consider purchasing VipMud so that we can add more great features.

Btw, also interesting that there is an alter msp soundpack, I'll have to give it a try for variety, though Alteraeon is the one game I use Mushclient with since while I prefer vimpud over all for ease of use I really do like the audiogame experience in alter.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
