SimpleMU is a simple Multi-User Dungeon client with nice features.
SimpleMU is a commercial client to play Multi-User Dungeons. Multi-User Dungeons or MUDs are text-based online role-playing games.
SimpleMU is a commercial client designed to play MUDs, MUSHs, MOOs, MUCKs, and Talkers. It is, as the name says, very simple. The features are light yet powerful. It may lack some features that full-blown clients have, but it does its job fine. Some of the features you have in this client are triggers and aliases, reformatting of prompts, timers, speed walking, among others. The features, once you learn how to use them, are quick and simple. There is also the option to upload text, for those long descriptions you need to write sometimes. It is really a good tool, however the $20 dollar price tag might be too high, considering that other clients are just 9 dollars more expensive but pack more power.
Pros
- Good and stable
Cons
- Lacks advanced features of other clients
Still the best in my eyes. Had it over 10 years.
Best game.
What are advanced features of other clients? I've used the free version for a long time and would have gladly paid for it, had support not ended over a decade ago, leading to compatibility issues in Windows 7. I've tried several other free clients and some of the top rated have no GUI, none of them will play a sound on activity, many won't even flash on activity, some won't handle multiple simultaneous connections, and some also can't handle automatically logging in to a server (even when they claim to). It's 2016, we have multi-core processors, and yet SimpleMU, from 2001, seems to be the best thing out there if you're still on Win XP. Otherwise, you're dead in the water.
I still use SimpleMu in Windows 10. So long as you run it with admin rights in compatibility mode for XP Service Pack 3, it functions perfectly in higher versions of Windows.
