Help:Getting Started

=Quick Start= You've looked at our wiki and want to connect? We're hosted at tfuniverse.mudhosting.net port 1976

If that means nothing to you, chances are that you're new to MUing. But don't let the name scare you off, connecting is really simple! Simply follow the steps below

MUes run on Telnet. All computers have a telnet application, but MUing on raw Telnet is a bit like having your teeth pulled with pain-enhancing drugs. Of course, it is the simplest way, so if you want to check us out, just click on this link: telnet://tfuniverse.mudhosting.net:1976/ and your browser should open a telnet terminal!

Mush clients are the way to go. There's several out there, most people use them, and they are easy to use. Download one of the ones below, and connect to tfuniverse.mudhosting.net port 1976. In Mushclient, either click on 'new world' or 'quick connect'. In SimpleMU, select 'New Connection Wizard' from the menu, and enter the site address and port number.
