Mudding at GrimneMUD

My favorite occupation while on The Net, i play Mud (Multiple User Dungeon) on Grimne DikuMUD. The grimne title on top of this page is the actual title you can admire on the Grimne DikuMUD HomePage.

I started playing at Grimne about a year ago. One of my bestest friends introduced me into mudding. He showed me his 'favorite thing on internet' wich was, as you can suspect, mudding :) At first, i thougt it was lame and stupid. Constantly looking at a screen with lots of text and concepts i didn't understand at that time. I even quit playing mud a month orso due to the fact i didn't understand.. up until I was bored on IRC, didn't care about my phonebill any more and I slightly begin to learn the concepts.

On Grimne, you have five kinds of characters, four playing characters and the immo's :
* Warrior : the strongest class with most hitpoints etc.. VERY usefull to lead normal an power-groups (PG).
* Thieve : Used for sneaking, backstabbing mobs, stealing equipement and lock-picking.
* Cleric : This is somewhat 'the doctor' of the characters. Used for healing and protecting the others.
* Mage : This is the devastater of the group. He doesn't so much hit the mobs, as he damages them with spells.
* Immo : Immortal or wizard. You can get them by leveling one character above level 50. Used for chatting and helping newbie players.(and cheating? :))

I have all of them exept one : ShamRock (how obvious :) my immortal; DarthVader my Thief; Methusalem my cleric and DoomRider my warrior. I haven't got a mage yet, but i'm planning to get one, once DoomRider is lvl 40 and Methusalem is maxxed (maxxed in stats).

On Grimne DikuMUD, we also have a shaman or witchdoctor. This is where you can buy your stats. There are five kinds of stats, wich are used to improve your characters strenth etc.. :
- str : Strenght. Used for strength to carry things and slash a wee lil' bit harder.
- int : Intelligence. Used for spell-casting and scroll-reading
- wis : Wisdom. Regeneration and enlarge cleric and mage-mana, and usefull for practicing skills and spells each level you advance
- dex : Dexterity. This improves your AC (or ArmorClass), the less AC you have, the better you can evade heavy damage.
- con : Constitution. The better your con is, the more hitpoints (Hps) you have and the better your Hps regenerate.

If you're interested in mudding at Grimne, you can connect to grimne.pvv.org:4000 using Zmud or tintin. You can also connect thru telnet, but once you're gaining experience and you want to use scripts, it is best not to use telnet. You can get Zmud and TinTin via http://www.tucows.com or you can connect to a local tucows page (most providers have them). If you need a script-file for one or more kind of characters, you can mail me for the one you need, and i'll send it to you (only for Zmud tho!)

When at a time, newbie or advanced player needed to know anyhing, you can always get help by talking to other players and immo's. Most of them are kind enough to help, just don't ask Nebulizer, he's kind of a weird, crazy dude. You'ld better leave him alone ;) Nah, just kiddin'. Nebulizer, Naz, Laluna and Matt all helped me improving my characters and getting ShamRock immoed.
