So i'm interested in actually developing a MUD and have had trouble setting up the servers that are out and available for download online.

I am basically looking for someone who has either experience or a linux machine with C experience who wants to host the server and basically learn how to do all of this with me.

Not asking anyone to hold my hand, just looking to build a team. I also hope for it to be sci-fi based since I don't want to have play.net games as my competition.

Any interested parties AIM me: arcubilis or just post here.

Peace.

I guess I'll chime in...

Why are you making it in C? Why not use a far more flexible language like Python? If I were to develop a text based game from scratch I would go with using a scripting language that easily allows me to add, modify, remove features from the game while the game is running as well as never having to worry about memory/network issues.

It also makes it a heck of a lot easier for multiple people to work on the game at the same time.
