The alternative methods to connect

If you for some reason do not wish to play BatMUD with the Official Game Client, Batclient, there are several other ways to experience BatMUD's magnificient Realm to the fullest. 'All functionality' of BatMUD is accessible and available also through several other means of connecting to the Game, by such as using the more traditional MUD Clients or even just a plain telnet-connection.

When desigining Batclient and it's functionality for playing BatMUD, the Administration took a clear stance on not reducing gameplay possibilities through alternative means. This effectively signifies that BatMUD is not moving towards a 'must play with Batclient' or 'can only play with Batclient' direction. While we hope to develop an ultimate game client for BatMUD, we still wish to let the users choose what they play with - It's Your personal choice.

When connecting via these other methods you have several options for both address and port. Our users may connect through the addresses bat.org port 23, bat.org port 2023, batmud.bat.org port 23 or batmud.bat.org port 2023. There's also a secure connection (SSL) option available through port 2022.

- TinyFugue aka tf (shell client for Unix/Linux/etc.)
- Mudlet is the new, freshly-minted MUD client (for various platforms)
