There's still lots of MUSHes about, but if you want a Transformers one
with more than 3 people on it, you'll want to play on 2k5. Its the
oldest Transformer RPG still running (13 years strong) and still as
good as ever. It's set post (original) movie, so you don't get Optimus
Prime (DON'T CRY) but you do get Wheelie (I used to play Wheelie! :v:)
We have a wiki you can look at for information at http://transformers2005.wikia.com
HOW TO CONNECT
Connecting couldn't be simpler. There's a fuller guide here (
http://transformers2005.wikia.com/wiki/Connecting ), with different
alternative ways to connnect, but the best way is via a dedicated MUSH
client
There's several out there, most people use them, and they are easy to
use. Download one of the ones below, and connect to tf2005.net port
5555. In Mushclient, either click on 'new world' or 'quick connect'.
In SimpleMU, select 'New Connection Wizard' from the menu, and enter
the site address and port number.
MUSHclient - http://www.mushclient.com
SimpleMU - http://simplemu.onlineroleplay.com/
You'll be greeted with a login screen. Just type connect guest and
you'll be on!

Type ++avail for a list of all available characters!
There are currently several levels of characters. You can apply for a
feature character. Alternately you can make up your OWN character (how
exciting is that!) You can transform and everything!
Applying for characters can be scary and hard. Luckily some characters
are app free (These come under AFC on ++avail) to help you get a
foothold on the MUSH. That is, if you want, you can automatically get
one. You can be Gears or Eject or Ratbat!
So starting couldn't be easier! Give it a go today!

I've always been interested in joining one of these - but I'm worried
there won't be anyone on at the times I am able to connect (since my
evening is your wee hours before dawn). Do you have many international
players? \\
Actually we have a lot of international players, quite a few from New
Zealand and Europe. There's always people online, whatever time of the
day (I myself am British, for example)
