The ifMUD is a perl based mud where many regular and longtime IF community members chat. Although the ifMUD allows for regular mud features, it is mostly used as a chat server. You can sign up for an account at http://ifmud.port4000.com.
Notable Locations on the ifMUD
- Adventurer's Lounge. This is where everyone comes to chat, 99.9% of the time. To get here, just type in a "lounge" command. The lounge's name and description changes on an irregular basis, but it's still the Lounge. Also notable for Alex, a useful parrot "bot" that can answer questions like "who is inky?" and "what is a corknut?"
- Dorm A. The default home for new player characters.
- Massive Auditorium. This is mostly used for the XYZZY Awards ceremonies, but it's also been used for announcing the IntroComp winners.
- Toyshop and Floyditorium. There's several toys and gizmos here, but the main attraction is Floyd, a bot that lets people play an IF game together, and offers some non-IF games like Werewolf as well.
- Edifice Towers. A large eleven story apartment complex, where players can create their own apartments, if they wish.
- The 'Carousel Room' Bar & Grill. The Bar was once more popular than the Lounge, and has also seen duty as an interview site. In recent years, it's used only as an extra place to chat after an XYZZY Awards ceremony.
