City of Ages is a text-based MUD offering both server and client software, letting players explore richly detailed worlds with extensive emote systems and balanced combat, while also enabling enthusiasts to host their own multiplayer servers. The package includes VB6 source code and SQL backend for customization. Best suited for MUD veterans or those willing to invest time in setup, though new players may find the initial configuration steep.
About this game
Two windows applications install to any Windows Computer: Ansi compliant telnet text MUD Server and Client and their VB6 source code, heavily SQL coded with support and admin commands. I run my server on a 1000Mhz x 2 processor 7nm HP fanless laptop.

never really got into MUDs before, but I am absolutely loving this game!
the game balances exploration and combat perfectly. it also does a very fine job of keeping things fresh, the amount of emotes one can choose from is almost overwhelming realistic-like seriously, players can select from more emotes than I've ever expressed in my actual life. really dig the environment as a whole.
overall this game is very entertaining and possibly addicting. i plan on getting this for a couple of my friends for the holidays.
Cant recommend this game. Seems pretty cool, but its too difficult to get into. When I play a MUD, i want to launch it, make my character, read what the games about and get into it. I dont want to spend an entire day trying to figure how to do simple things like make the emulator go fullscreen. The hour or so I have in the game isnt even me playing. It was me either trying to get into the game server, which isnt too difficult. Had a problem where I had to relaunch the client 2 to 3 times so I can connect to the server. Also had a problem where my character on the server got deleted, which was strange. Or, itd be me trying to find out the UI, trying to get it go fullscreen or whatever. So this isnt a review on the gameplay, from the other reviews Ive read, people said it was good gameplay and didnt go beyond that. But for me, Im getting my refund and checking back when the games had a few updates.
This is awesome! You can run your own mud server and basically host your own online world. I love it. I have been looking for a mud server to run for a long time. This one is easy to set up and works perfectly. Thanks to the dev for this!

Many want to tap not hold down the screen to run, one tap the stage slips underneath everyone's feet of the moving player and groupies, the NPCs and the room changes only.
Filter Mode and Client Mode are commands that are designed to assist all Screen Reader technologies. One that I like that is free is called MUDlet, an open source and cross platform program to many operating systems. Blowtorch can be found at GitHub for Android, there is a sdk, this is not at the Google App Store. MUDRunner is for iOS and is still at the Apple App Store. I am still looking for a Unity programmer to join the company, I placed Unity connection string into a folder if anyone is interested. Must be familiar with Advertisement technology Unity supports.
