The Dead Of Night mud can now be played via GoogleChat or other jabber compatible IM, which I am told includes AIM.

In order to play Dead Of Night mud via GoogleChat, just add either
or as a contact and then send them a message. Use whichever name gives you best performance.

Of course, the experience isn't as good as with a real mud client, but it can be useful for all those times you've wanted to MUD, but have been on a computer you couldn't install your favourite mud client on, or the firewall/proxy prevents you from accessing the mud.

GoogleChat can be used directly from the Google mail webpage, without requiring you to install any software, all you have to have is a gmail account. I recommend clicking pop-out so you can make the window bigger - and selecting to go off the record (especially while entering your password).
