DoorMUD is a free, high-quality MUD (multi-user dungeon) that features fast-paced real-time combat, excellent multinode interaction, a high-powered command interface and a huge game world with over 2100+ rooms for players to explore. It is actively supported, with new versions coming out on a regular basis. A World Editor add-on is also in the works, allowing Sysops to modify the game world and create your own new dungeons, quests, artifacts, and more! DoorMUD is a BBS game. Should work on most telnet clients.
