How do I start playing?

You can start playing right now using our web client below!

Or click on the link below and your default telnet client should establish a link to our server and you can create a new character name immediately!
telnet://mud.shatteredkingdoms.org:1996

Is there a better way?

If you find that your system’s basic telnet software is rather plain, there are alternatives – on many sites over the Internet you can download a ‘MUD Client’ that will provide a much more enhanced and immersive experience of the game. Please Note: The use of a dedicated client program is not meant to allow you to control more than one character on Shattered Kingdoms at any given time. This is called ‘multiplaying’ and is not allowed! For more details on this, refer to HELP MULTIPLAY within the game.

When using a MUD Client, you will need the following information to connect:

  • Host: mud.shatteredkingdoms.org
  • Port: 1996

We have searched the internet and compiled a list of the MUD clients that are available for various operating systems – click your operating system below for a complete list.
