Welcome to the Abandoned Realms, and thank you for visiting our game.
You will be killing monsters, stealing powerful loot and terrorizing
your fellow players in no time! Please be advised that for best
enjoyment of mudding, a MUD client is a great
investment.
Troubleshooting
- If you have trouble connecting, because of a security error, make sure that the URL is
"abandonedrealms.com" and not "www.abandonedrealms.com". Search engine web crawlers also occasionally interrupt service and cause this error.
- As a backup, try a MUD client: GMUD (this is the correct way to play a MUD).

Client |
Operating System |
Description and Installation |
Telnet
|
Any |
Select RUN from the Start
Menu, type cmd, hit enter and then type TELNET ABANDONEDREALMS.COM 9000
This will get you up and running in a matter of minutes. No downloads required. However, unfortunately, telnet was disabled by default in newer versions of windows. Here are the steps to re-enable telnet in Windows 7:
Start, Control Panel, Programs And Features, Turn Windows features on or off, Check Telnet Client, Hit OK

MUSHclient (download)
|
Windows |
MUSHclient was once a premium mud client, but became freeware. This is an excellent
choice of first mud client for newbies, and people who want to be able to do some scripting
will be able to get their fill of it.
Download the file, extract it to your preferred location (e.g. desktop) and just run it.
|
Java Client
(backup client)
|
Any |
This is Abandoned Realms's own browser-based java telnet client. It is
a better option for playing than regular telnet, but it will take time
to load in your browser so you will have to wait longer to play. Ideal
for guests and users at schools.

BlowTorch
|
Android |
BlowTorch is the current leader in mud clients for Android tablets. MUDs
are seeing a resurgence because of Android gaming. A cheap tablet and a $30
bluetooth keyboard and you're good to go.
|
JMC (download)
|
Windows |
Another fast, free mud client. This is a Russian MUD client which enables
logs to be recorded and played back in real time. It is not as easy to use
as other MUD clients, so its speed is its main advantage over competitors.
Fully featured aliaes and triggers make JMC a solid option for veteran players.
|
ZMUD (download)
|
Windows |
The best MUD client that money can buy. Zmud delivers speed, simplicity,
and a dedicated front end. Only serious mudders should purchase a mud client though.

Rapscallion
|
Mac |
Mac gamers need not feel left out. Rapscallion is a fully-featured client
that rivals the best clients on Windows.

A couple of other clients worth mentioning (and our players specifically asked that we give these a mention): mudmaster, tintin++
