A mud client is a piece of software used to connect to a MUD. Generally a mud client is a very basic telnet client that lacks VT100 terminal emulation and the capability to perform telnet negotiations. On the other hand they are enhanced with features designed to specifically work well with mudding.
Standard features seen in most mud clients include ANSI color support, aliases, triggers and scripting. The client can often be extended almost indefinitely with its built-in scripting language. Most muds restrict the usage of scripts because it gives an unfair advantage, as well as the fear that the game will end up being played by fully automated clients instead of human beings.

Roleplaying and Romance
With Valentine's Day fast approaching, I thought it would be a good time to take a quick look at sex and romance inside massively multiplayer online games, where players celebrate everything from birthdays to weddings. Although it may not fit the stereotype, gamers are not immune to love, and gamer couples are becoming more common all the time. Most games do their best to keep it clean, but those seeking something more risque have a few virtual worlds to choose from as well.

Multiplayer Strategy Games 101
The ability to compete online with other players is becoming a common feature in recent strategy and sports games. Strategy games give you control of entire armies and empires, rather than just a single avatar. Sports games let you guide your team to glory, or test your driving skills against others on the track. We've got some basics for people new to this kind of gaming.
