EMuck Guest Access

Please feel free to drop by and see what EMuck is like with our guest character access! We currently offer telnet access by connecting via telnet to game.emuck.com 6903. If your software cannot resolve that domain name, you might be able to connect using the IP address, which changes occasionally, but is currently 24.147.128.187.

There are better programs for accessing EMuck, such as a specially written MU* client for your platform. We have a list of MU* resources, including clients, available.

Finally, we have a web gateway that might be able to connect people that are stuck behind firewalls at work or at school (please find out your network administrators' policies of using a web proxy server in this fashion).

Connecting...

Once you connect using one of the methods described above, you should see our login screen, which varies a bit from time to time, but generally looks like this:

            EntertainMUCK DM-0-15.22b -- An AmberThree Production
                    ___             _   _   ___     _   _
                   (  _`\  /'\_/`\ ( ) ( ) (  _`\  ( ) ( )

EntertainMuck (emuck) login:

If you don't see this screen, refer to our connecting guide for more help.

Once you see this login screen, you can login as a guest by typing connect guest guest at the EMuck login prompt. You will then be connected to one of our guest characters. You should see a bunch of lines, ending with something that looks like this:

You have no mail
You are a 'guest' character.  You can temporarily rename yourself by typing:
@RENAME some_new_name      (within reason!)

For EMuck tips, type TUTORIAL.  Afterwards, to explore EntertainMuck, type EWC
(which means EMuck Welcome Center) and continue learning more about us.  Items
dropped in this room go to the EMuck Welcome Center.  Enjoy!  Welcome to EMuck!
 
  To talk to another character in the same place you are, type SAY (message).
      Example: say hello there -- people in this room will see "hello there"!

And on... to infinity!

Connecting as a guest is fun, but it is a bit limiting, since our security policy doesn't allow guests to access certain features of our system that could possibly be abused. If you want to enhance your EMuck experience, you might want to consider becoming a member with your own personalized login name and password. Our registration is free, and available to just about anybody by following this link.
