ranvier looks great, though it might be more than I need for this project

Looking at the commit frequency on their GitHub, it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while. I'm not sure if anyone's working on it behind the scenes and just hasn't pushed to the main repository, but it's not a good sign that the last public push was 2 years ago.

Then that depends on the MUD engine you're planning to use. Evennia is in python, which may help since you're familiar with it, although it is a pretty large and complicated beast. Ranvier is a pretty simple and streamlined MUD engine that is written in Javascript and likely a great place to start if you're not an old MUD player who wants to recreate their old SMAUG or Circle favorite mud. It can be installed via node.js even. Both Ranvier and Evennia (I think) allow you to build the rooms interactively within a running mud (not 100% sure on that)

Indeed! Another one I forgot to mention is Ranvier in javascript and node.js which I think also allows websockets to communicate in ways other than telnet.

I been working on something similar (very slowly in the little free time I have), and found this: https://ranviermud.com

OpenMW - The Elder Scrolls Morrowind clone. C++, OpenGL

I downloaded the build via openmw-0.48.0-Linux-64Bit.tar.gz, it runs very well, but whenever I add the game as a shortcut to steam, the performance fumbles, I get around 25-30 fps at best, and I tried to experiment a bit and search more on the internet for a solution before posting in here, but nothing have helped as of yet. If there's someone who worked it out, please share it with us.

They haven't been great at announcing progress lately, but it is ongoing. The GitHub page is showing plenty of commits still coming in: https://github.com/OpenMW/openmw/commits/master

It's open-source and anybody can take a look at the code. Trading and Speechcraft changes are detailed here and here, respectively.

There's also a fan made open source game engine recreation for it called OpenMW that makes it a dream to play on anything from an android phone to a Mac to a PC.

On the main openmw config, there's different files listed https://github.com/OpenMW/openmw/blob/master/files/openmw.cfg

Download this .dmg and install this version of OpenMW. I pulled it straight from their GitHub and it is the same one I use. Try the process with this see if it helps?
