Title says it all.

I travel and a lot and end up playing on my work computer which is a mac, but I can't find a decent client for it. The best one so far is Atlantis, but it locks up a ton and lags like nobodies business.

Help please?

It gives me the basic options I've needed to play the game for the last four years: Aliases, triggers, logging (retroactively as well). There are a lot of features, but still really basic in comparison to what PC users get with Zmud.

I use Atlantis, and it's pretty effective once you get used to it.

As far as the lagging / locking goes, that's something to do with how it processes large spawns. I found I could clear it up by setting a 'max lines' value in the main spawn in the world settings (750 works fine for me with no lag at all).

I use Atlantis also. There are a lot of TERRIBLE servers for Mac it seems.

That would make sense. It was -killing- me. Literally.

So far I have liked cantrip.

For any new clients that need to be added, please provide:

1. Name
2. Short description
3. URL

PS: Dalamar...where is your reply??

I've found the best MUD client for the Intel-based MAC is definitely Atlantis. You can download it here:

Alshain: I've actually been forced to make a quasi-switch to Windows over the past couple years :rant: and have been using SimpleMU on my computer. But when I get to use the ol' ball & chain's nice new beautiful MacBook, I'm all over Atlantis. :)
