UglyMUG is one of the longest-established talkers in the UK (up since 1990). It's seen thousands of players over the years, and much building. The structure is free-form: no role-playing is required and anyone is allowed to build. We have large adventuring areas available, created and extended over many years, and everyone is free to extend them further. No registration is required: simply connect and create a new character. We have several friendly admin who are on throughout the day to help newcomers, and full online documentation for all the game commands and areas, including many programming examples. ^[1]

Here people from around the world meet 24 hours a day, make friends, and form their own little communities. The landscape of Ugly is made of places that vary from the fantastic and enchanting, to the downright surreal and confusing. Ugly is not one specific game that can be described, rather it is a collection of the creative output of its players so it is constantly evolving. We have a policy of open evolution at UglyMUG, meaning that the place is what you make it. Players have many ways available to help in our evolution, this ranges from being an active member of our communities, performing social roles such as being a Welcomer, to creating unique objects, rooms and commands as a Builder.
