One of the Internet's Longest-Running MUDs

Enter Dark and Shattered Lands

DSL is a text-driven world you play by typing — no installer runs the game itself. To step through the gate, you'll need a MUD client on your side.

Manual connection — host dsl-mud.org · port 4000

New to MUDs

Why do I need a client?

A MUD isn't a website — it's a live, text-based world running on a server, and DSL speaks a raw connection protocol rather than the language browsers understand. That's why an in-browser player can't run here anymore.

A MUD client is the small piece of software that opens the connection for you. It keeps your session alive, renders the world's colors and text cleanly, and lets you save shortcuts and macros as you grow more advanced.

Pick one below, point it at dsl-mud.org, port 4000, and you're in.
