Chat system
The chat features lets you do peer-to-peer chatting. That is, talk to other players without going through the MUD server. This could be useful for:


  • privacy (your conversation cannot be listened to or logged by the MUD)

  • if the MUD is down you can still chat

  • talking when you normally can't (eg. in a silent room, if stunned, etc.)

  • automating interaction between people in a group (eg. PK groups)


The chat features has detailed support in the MUSHclient scripting language.
