ex_venture VS grapevine

Ideally yes. Or you could implement with ExVenture.

/u/midmud is responsible for the creation and maintenance of Grapevine, a modern hub for MUD listings, events, and the Gossip chatting network. He's also created ExVenture, a MUD engine written in Elixir. Finally, he works with the brilliant and talented /u/Opie_ to bring free MUD hosting to the masses via Vineyard. His other contributions include moderating the /r/MUD Discord and MUD Coders Slack, as well as being a host on the Titans of Text podcast.

You'd likely be interested in the work done by Eric Oestrich in building MUDs with Elixir.

I've heard of people having decent results using the Grapevine web client on iOS, although an iPad with a physical keyboard is probably much preferred over an on-screen keyboard. The only catch is that the game has to be registered with Grapevine and the web client enabled, as far as I know at least.

There's also still some diehard MU* players out there, and some modern servers in active development. See Ares MUSH and Evennia (a MUD-like server), directories https://mustard.mythicus.net/ and https://grapevine.haus/.

This question is asked rather frequently. There are very few truly active aggregation sites any more. The most active, but pretty incomplete site is probably grapevine: https://grapevine.haus/

If you want immersion in a more low-fi text-based setting, maybe head to /r/MUD and look into a MUD that pushes your buttons in terms of settings and mechanics. Try some of the games linked into Grapevine if you're not familiar with MUDs. Lots of nice games to get your feet wet, there, until you find one to call home. Just a warning, MUDs are not immune to suffering from a high number of low-effort games, but it seems easier to find the good ones that it does with PBBGs.

I have three to share, but they tie for the same reasons. Armageddon, Sindome and Star Conquest have pretty cool areas. Armageddon a Mad Max out in the desert type of vibe with people trying to survive with mutants and the like, Sindome is a cyber punk dystopian future where anything is possible and Star Conquest a future space opera with three main factions fighting it out for supremacy. All have people on at basically all times of the day. Armageddon Host name - www.armageddon.org 4050 Sindome Moo.sindome.org 5555 Star Conquest moo.squidsoft.net 7777 All three are heavy into role playing, however. So it will be required. I do believe Sindome and maybe Star Conquest have classes. I mean they have jobs, but I think you can gain abilities not in your skill set. I believe all are PvP and PvE, so it can be stressful if getting attacked I suppose. I am not much into PvP myself though. They may or may not have OOC channels. All three are free to play. Currently Armageddon is MUD of the Month and can be played with the community on Saturdays and Sundays UTC -5 or CDT at 6pm till 12am. You are welcome to join us if you like. Consequently Grapevine is the Mud website of the Month https://grapevine.haus/ This website has 140+ games. It has a great feature with it's stats screen for each game. It gives you how many players have been on the last 48 hours, last week, last month, last year and time of day for busy hours. So that may help you in finding a good MUD as well.
