Play PowerMud

PowerMud is played with a MUD client: a free program that connects to the game and shows the text with colours. Pick one, create a connection to powermud.com on port 2000, and you're in.

Recommended clients

• Mudlet (Windows, Mac, Linux): friendly, with a built-in map and scripting. Good first choice.
• MUSHclient (Windows): lightweight and popular.
• TinTin++ (terminal; Linux/Mac/Windows): fast and scriptable.
• Blightmud (terminal): modern and easy to start.

Quick start with Mudlet

1. Install Mudlet and click Connect, then Add new profile.
2. Name it PowerMud. Server address: powermud.com. Port: 2000. Leave SSL off.
3. Press Connect. At the prompt, type a new user name to create an account, or your old name to log in.
4. New accounts then make a character with create <name> and walk through the creation steps.

Tips

• Turn colour (ANSI) on in your client. The game uses it heavily.
• Character names use letters only, no digits or spaces.
• Type help in the game, and read the newbie guide before you start.
• PowerMud had a fresh start in October 2026, so everyone begins new. One account can hold several characters.

Playing from a browser

A browser-based client is planned so you won't need to install anything. Until then, one of the clients above is the way in.
