209.239.13.226: /* Types of MUCK Servers */ ngMUCK is defunct

A '''MUCK''' is an online [[role-playing]] game that is usually text-based and accessible through [[wikipedia:telnet|telnet]], as well as a variety of MUCK clients.

The actual expansion of the acronym ''MUCK'' is disputed, however some suggestions include:
* Multi User Created Kingdom
* Multi User Chat Kingdom
* Multi User Construction Kit

It has also been suggested that the word MUCK is a play on the word [[MUD]], or ''Multi User Dimension'', a similar type of game platform that is more focused on a points based role playing system.

Each MUCK has its own sets of rules and policies. Some MUCKs allow [[player]]s to be [[Out Of Character]] (OOC) as much as they like, while others require them to be [[In Character]] (IC) more often, or always. Rules can vary in different areas of the MUCK.

Most MUCKs allow players to build. Creation might be restricted to simple objects, expanded to rooms and exits, or policy might allow for complex scripting. The creation and customization aspects of MUCK allow the player base to build a world.

The term "mucking" means playing on a MUCK.

==TinyMUCK Programming Languages==
*[[MPI]] - A macro expansion language used to make descriptions more dynamic, it has grown into a full fledged language on it's own.
*[[MUF]] - The original extension language introduced in TinyMUCK it is faster than MPI and commonly used for larger projects.

==Types of MUCK Servers==
*[[TinyMUCK]] - Original fork of [[TinyMUD]] that added the MUF programming language (as its most notable feature).
*[[FuzzBall MUCK]] - Current most popular TinyMUCK server that runs the two biggest servers.
*[[GlowMUCK]] - Fork of [[NeonMUCK]].
*[[NeonMUCK]] - FuzzBall variant.
*[[ProtoMUCK]] - Descendant of [[NeonMUCK]]; fairly popular in smaller Mucks.
