From the publisher

Everything you need to know to stay alive, win, outfox, and dethrone experienced Mudders!

Luke Skywalker had Yoda. Now, you have your own cyber-mentor with this behind-the-scenes guide to successfully stalking the dark, haunted corridors of today's most popular online games. This book shows you how to avoid instant death--Muds are notoriously rough on newbies, and you can just forget about asking any of the wizards for tips or strategies. They'd rather blow you away than show you the ropes. You have to learn how to survive in a game against 100 people from all over the world before you jump in and become sword fodder.

This ultimate Mud companion reveals the lore as well as the intricate customs and commands you need to thrive in these imaginary worlds. Playing MUDs on the Internet:

  • Shows you where to find Mud games and how to join them
  • Describes several Muds in depth and includes maps
  • Provides a complete guide to all the commands needed
  • Gives you proven hints and strategies for winning
  • Warns you about what dangers lie ahead of you and gives you hard-won tips on how to keep your cool and stay alive

Right now, you might not know a Mud game from a mud pie. But with this book, in no time at all, you'll be mudding your way into some really cool adventures in a wild, fast-paced new world.

About the author

Rawn Shah played on the earliest LPmuds in the United States and wizzed on many a Mud both by ability and reputation. As a Wizard, he was one of the early experimenters in pseudographics in LPmuds. He presented the session on Internet Games at the Fall '94 Internet World Conference, in Washington, D.C.
