Our LPMud-Revised instance is now live and open to the public. If you've ever wanted to explore a classic text-based MUD, you can connect right now — no setup required.
How to Connect
Open any telnet client and run:
telnet lpmud.ssetco.com 4000
That's it. Create a character and you're in.
Any standard telnet client works — the built-in telnet command on macOS and Linux, PuTTY on Windows, or dedicated MUD clients like Mudlet or TinTin++.
What You'll Find
This is a classic LPmud 2.4.5 world powered by the ldmud 3.6.x driver. The mudlib has been expanded and refined, but the core experience is authentic to the early 1990s MUD era:
- ~200 rooms across 15+ regions to explore
- The Orc Fortress — a 12-room dungeon quest with a gate, mess hall, armory, barracks, towers, cells, and a boss throne room
- Wizard access at level 25 — once promoted, you can evaluate LPC code in-game, build new rooms, and modify the world
- Persistent characters — your progress is saved between sessions
Powered by LPMud-Revised
The server runs on our open-source LPMud-Revised Docker project. Everything is containerized — the MUD server and a Flask admin dashboard for backups, player management, and an interactive world map.
If you want to run your own instance, the repo has everything you need:
git clone https://github.com/midyear66/LPMud-Revised
cd LPMud-Revised
cp docker/.env.example docker/.env
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d
Check out the LPMud-Revised app page for full details on features and architecture.
Come Explore
Whether you're a MUD veteran or discovering text adventures for the first time, we'd love to see you in the game. Connect, create a character, and start exploring. Reach level 25 and you'll have the keys to build the world yourself.
