so, I want a link for a ffree clyeint, also, do mud games has sounds and ambionts?

this one is payd, ser!

pleeeeeeeeease keap in mind I am like a bernd pease of paiper with my nolige with mud games, what are pluggins that I have to get and what the hell should I do!

@Meatbag, as i said in post 3, vipmud is imho easier to use, and quite possible to use without paying.
Basically all you get is a nag message, an auto logout every two hours (and you can just log back in again), and disabling of a certain sound protocol which not many muds use.

Mushclient is indeed entirely free, but you need to add plugins and configure yourself, where as vipmud will just work out of the box, you just enter the connection info of the mud you want to play and away you go.

As to what muds are.

Think of muds like an interactive text game played online and in real time

IN most muds, you'll get a textual description of what room or area your character is in, what objects, npc characters or monsters  are present there, and what exits you have.

For example:

[ Mulrala;  Hospital Room ]
White-washed walls and polished stone flooring makes up this small, utilitarian hospital area. A bare bulb in the ceiling casts a harsh light down on the carefully-made beds laden with warm blue linens. Nurses tend to patients as they enter, and wish them warm farewells as they leave.
MI ground patrol Z6024 patrols nearby.
You see that you can sit on a medical bed here.
A male ryuchi with light blue scales is nearby, sleeping.
You see Dr. Sedric Kissinger here.
Obvious exits, out(a curtain of ivory beads closed).

You itneract with things by typing commands. So to leave the above room I'd type "out", to to sit on the hospital bed I'd type "sit on bed" to say something to the  other people In the room I'd type "say hello" or "tell nurse hello", to attack the ryuchi (a half dragon), I'd type kill ryuchi or the like etc.

The clever thing in muds though, is all of this is going on in real time.
When you fight someonee, the game will keep printing messages about what hapens as you automatically attack and your enemy attacks, so during combat to use healing items, or special attacks and so on, you type commands.

The real time aspect also goes along with talking to other characters, doing activities in the game from crafting and mining to flying spaceships, or roleplaying with other online players, pretending to be your character and doign what they do.

Most muds are text games.
A few, Alteraeon, Cosmic rage, and Miriani  have soundpacks which play sounds in the game when things happen, and can be as complex as a full audiogame, but these are extremely rare and a lot of great muds are text only.

Hope this makes sense. Any questions plese ask.

@Meetbag, in the free version of Vipmud, you cannot use the mud sound protocol, msp. this is a specific routine some muds use to play sounds.
Those that have pre written soundpacks are I believe fine.

In fairness though as I said above, if your only interested in games with sound, then you probably shouldn't look at muds, or at least just stick to alteraeon  which has it's own client anyway.
