Dorm A
This is a very long room, lined with multi-tiered bunks. Flimsy partitions between the tiers may provide a modicum of privacy. These spartan living quarters could house hundreds, many of whom are sleeping here right now. There are archways on the north and east walls.

What is this place?

Head over to the account application page and choose a username for yourself.

The Official ifMUD FAQ
Mark Musante hosts the official ifMUD FAQ. It's got everything you wanted to know about:
  • Customizing your account
  • Building your home
  • Where to hang
  • ...and then some.
For your amusement, there's also a totally useless unofficial FAQ floating out there.

Okay, now what?
Once you've got an account, you can test out ifMUD with the web client (or, if that doesn't work due to firewall issues, the web client proxy). However, using telnet or a MUD client is highly recommended:

Platforms:

NOTE: If you are accessing the mud with the web page, you must type quit and then leave the web page in order to be logged out. For this reason, you are strongly advised to use a MUD client to connect! To reach ifMUD via telnet or with a MUD client, use this address:
ifmud.port4000.com 4000

There is also a Java client which you may find better than the standard web page client. Note that this does not seem to work properly with MSIE 4.0 (for WinNT, at least)
