I don't know which is the most popular but I have yet to find a MUD which
is better than ISLAND, on teaching4.physics.ox.ac.uk 2092, which is one of
the few MUDs suited to all levels of experience. Try it - I'm sure you'll
like it!

Oh that's an intelligent argument. *sigh* LPmuds "suck" in _your_
opinion... What? Aren't they teaching the difference between fact and
opinion in high school anymore? :)
BTW, I didn't see you offer any contribution. :)
And you obviously haven't been to RealmsMUD. I _hated_ lps until I
started playing there. (I'm even working on coding my own Circle based mud.)

Well, this is a difficult question to answer. Certainly Realmsmud, 3K,
and Ancient Anguish are quite popular. And they have relatively new
and powerful computers dedicated to their games. But, a muds popularity
is not just dependant on how many players are on at any one time..
Before Realmsmud purchased its computer, it had alot fewer players, yet
was the same mud. So, muds like Timewarp or Dune that have fewer players
may also be popular.. a very popular mud generally either has lag (too
many players for the hardware) or they have good hardware and a ton
of players...

Realmsmud is a large LP based MUD with 100+ players on in the peak hours
of the early evening. We offer 9 guilds, many different races, OPTIONAL
player killing, many many rooms, 11 quests, 50 player levels, option to
be a multi-guild'er at level 30, and most of all, a VERY fun & friendly
atmosphere.
Our current computer is a Pentium 90Mhz with 32Megs of ram and a 1 Gig
hard drive. With over 100 users, we use approximately 40% of the cpu
power, which means we have plenty of room for more players, and no
machine-based lag!
So, stop by and try us out. New players start out as adventurers, which
on Realmsmud is a temporary guild. You should join one of the other
guilds as soon as you can decide on one. Once you join a guild, you gain
access to that guild's storage rooms, and other guild members will
probably help you get started if you ask nicely.

If you're using MUD in the more generic sense of MU*, then FurryMuck, at
furry.org 8888 has the biggest population of any MU* I've seen. It's an
anthropomorphic animals (for the most part) muck that's primarily social (no
hack and slash).

batmud, which has an imposed limit of 150 players at once on.. and there
are often 150 plus people waiting to get on during peak hours.

What a shallow, blinkered opinion!

Strictly in terms of the number of simultaneous users online, the most
popular muds I know of are LambdaMOO, FurryMUCK and PernMUSH. These are
all in the "social muds" category. If you are looking for a "combat mud"
the largest one I know of (again by users online at once) is BatMUD.

FurryMuck. Where the standard pickup line is "How many nipples do you
have?". Just what we need, another haven for net.perverts.

PernMUSH is, actually, not a social MUD; it is a roleplaying MUD,
though it's "slice of life" roleplaying rather than conflict-oriented
roleplaying.

I actually divide MUDs into two categories or into three, depending on
what sort of discussion I'm participating in. In a more in-depth
conversation, I break them into "combat", "social", and "roleplaying",
and many MUSHes in particular seem to fall into the roleplaying category.
More generally, though, many people have been dividing MUDs into just
"combat" and "social" for a long time, and I think the finer distinction
between roleplaing and social is a newer division than that one. Clearly
the roleplaying MUDs are more a branch off the social side, if you are
just breaking things down into those two categories. There are even MUDs
out there with large populations of both social mudders and RP mudders,
who butt heads at times about when one should or shouldn't be IC or OOC.
Anyway, I felt the distinction of "not-combat-MUDs" was probably enough
for the original poster. Most people are either looking for combat MUDs
only, or they are looking for other kinds.
