How do I run a MUD?

Frequently asked question — SMAUG server

Question

Where is the best resource for learning things about the mud if I am not a coder, but simply run a MUD?

Answer

There are a quite a few pages about building, and some pages about general control of annoying players (what to do rather than exactly how to do it). Have a look at my "MUD links" page.

I also have a page of FAQs about SMAUG.

And also a page about setting up MUDs in general.

I would also type HELP and WIZHELP in SMAUG - these usually tell you in some detail how to do particular things, although sometimes the exact command to use is not obvious.
