MUSH and MUD Lists

The MUD Connector

The MUD Connector provides a searchable list of MUDs/MOOs/MUSHes that includes an admin-submitted description of the game, game link, and link to game Web page if one exists. More than a MUD list, the Connector also includes links to resources for MU* players.

MUSH Warehouse List

This list only includes MUSHes, MUXes and similar server games. The contents can be listed by server type or genre. One of the more up-to-date lists currently available.

Book-Themed Science Fiction/Fantasy MU*s

This site is an index of the MU* games based on science fiction and fantasy novels, and includes authors such as Terry Goodkind, Robert Jordan, JRR Tolkien and many others. The author also has an index of games based on television series, films and comics.

mudlinks://

A little different than your average MU* list. On mudlinks:// you search the welcome screens of over 2500 MU*s for your search terms. (The welcome screen is what you see when you first connect to a game.) mudlinks:// also provides links to other MU* and talker lists.

The Almost-Complete List of MUSHes

Only MUSHes and MUXes are indexed on this site, which includes game addresses only. An extended list which includes links to game Web pages is also available, as well as an automated list. The automated list includes information on game uptimes and number of characters connected in the past 24 hours. Please note that all three of these lists have not been updated since December of 2000, so information may not be current.
