IRE Asks: What client do you connect to your favorite MMO with?
Players who use third party clients often get into programming systems for their characters, writing scripts to perform actions like cure themselves during PvP or summon all of their defenses upon logging in. Many scripts written and submitted by players are in fact available here on the Iron Realms website!
So tell us, which client do you use to connect to your favourite MUD? Are you a scripter, or in the process of learning how to code? Comment below!

Mudlet
Started with it, and not going to stop. You can do EVERYTHING you can think of.
I like the way it doesn't do anything for you out of a fresh install, but it very easy to customize, and there's actually no limits to this. It gets addicting to script after a bit. PLUS the support is great, the developer is a real presence in the community and it's linux native.
Said by one who still connect to achaea with a regular telnet client when not on my computer, so it's not about features, but about neatness.

MUSHClient
Seems everyone is one MUDlet though...
I started off with the flash client, and when I got to antitheft someone suggested getting a client, I picked MUSHClient (Don't know why) and loved it.
This was the first and only client I have scripted on, and I find it easy and effortless. However, I did have a problem starting off, due to availability of information.

I started on the website client, way back in the day. Spent years on Zmud, then switched to Mudlet. It took a while to get used to, but I can honestly say that it is much better than Zmud in every way.

Mudlet Convert
Started playing with Nexus and, after many years, MUSHclient. I never really bothered with scripting, as I wasn't very big on combat at the time (though I did purchase a Nexus system from Vadi). I made the jump to Mudlet shortly after I created Mel and actually took an interest in coding. I'm still a novice, though.
I started out about nine or
I started out about nine or ten years ago on the OLD Java client, Pre-Nexus. Then evolved into Nexus. For YEARS I was all about Nexus, struggling through scripting theory. It took Sir Aerek to get me to even understand the basics of #if.
Now I'm on Mudlet, mostly because it's quicker than Nexus and more reliable. Nexus kept eating itself for me and I wasn't putting up with that. I still have trouble with mudlet scripting but there's enough out there to help me along when I need to script, and most of the basic theory is simple enough.

Flash, to Zmud, to Mudlet
Took me a long while to shake my grip from Flash, just because I was originally won over to Achaea for the cool GUI with its health bars etc. I actually remember getting Vadi's first system for sentinels and having to spend at least 5 hours copying and pasting the system in line by line. At that stage, all you could do was cross your fingers and hope it didn't implode when unpausing for the first time!

Nexus, then Zmud, then mudlet. I am loving mudlet. The transitions from one platform to another were rough but now that I have made the transitions I am very happy with mudlet. The bestest part about mudlet is that it is free!
My Journey
It used to be that I used MM2K, but unless you know what you're doing, I find it can be very confusing. I used a lot of my time just trying to figure out how to execute basic coding commands, and things got a little convoluted.
So, I was told to pick up ZMUD and someone would help me. Sadly, those people all stopped playing, and though I picked up the system, no one could help me for very long. I recenly switched to CMUD for reasons I'm not entirely sure of, part of which I think was that my computer had to be replaced and I needed another copy, so I went to CMUD.
I tried Mudlet for a while, but it seemed to simply decide it wasn't going to open for me anymore, and no one can figure out why. Apparently it dislikes me, and is damned difficult to work with.
I still don't konw what I'm doing, and can't code properly to save my life. Bless the folks who've been trying to help me in bits and patches, but most of my system is tiny parts of everyone who's helped me try to develop, and I still end up doing a large chunk of my commands manually. One day, I'm sure, I'll figure it out, but for now, at least I have a way to store my defences and some basic macros.
