Information for Newcomers ​

Welcome to MUME ​

What you find on this page is an extension of the documentation available in-game. This page features several tutorials to aide you, our newest player, in navigating MUME.

Complete Beginners ​

If you are new to Multi-User Dungeons (MUDs), the precursors to MMORPGs, we strongly recommend that you to read the following essential knowledge to help you navigate and survive Middle-earth:

• Introduction to MUME's most important aspects (help newcomer)
• Frequently asked questions (help faq)
• Basic commands needed to survive (help basic)

Once you have completed reading the above subjects, then please proceed onwards to the advanced subjects.

Advanced Subjects ​

If you have played other MUDs before but are new to MUME, you can skip ahead to read about MUME’s unique features here:

• More advanced commands… (help advanced)
• Interesting features
• Rules for all players to observe (rules)

If you have not done so yet, check out the tutorials below for more survival tips.

Tutorials ​

There are two tutorials that are available. If you prefer text over video then you can read a complete sample MUME session. Otherwise, watch the YouTube tutorial below.

Quick tips for watching the videos:

• Watch in fullscreen and high quality; otherwise the text is hard to see
• Confirm that annotations are enabled (the boxes of text that pop up throughout the videos)
• Pause and review specific commands as needed!

You can switch videos in the playlist with the hamburger menu at the top right corner or watch them on YouTube instead.
