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 and Erins 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 has sometimes been used as an interview site. In recent years, it's used as an extra place to chat after an XYZZY Awards ceremony.
