Havent played muds in ages...did Zuggsoft go out of business? Have tried to log onto www.zuggsoft.com to no avail....several days now.

I just connected to the zuggsoft page with no problems. Have you double checked the spelling of the url your using? There is a link to Zuggsoft in the resources area here on tmc that you could try, it should work for you.

Yeah, it's working fine for me as well.

He's still around. But the site was failing the DNS lookup earlier this afternoon when I checked. So all I got back was a page not found error. :)

If your getting the DNS error using Firefox, try a reload or clean your cache out and then do a reload. I get the same thing with other sites and that usually fixes it for me.

Not sure with IE since I avoid it like the plague but the same methods should work just as well.

This had nothing to do with Firefox, IE, or my DNS. I tried the host lookup on more than just my own network and got the same results. It was definitely having some kind of a problem that resolved itself eventually.

Thank you for the info.

Alive, kicking and soon to release a new product to the public.

Unfortunately, there's no upgrade path from zmud to cmud.

Of course there is.
You get the product free if you purchased zMUD since July 2005, or half price if purchased since September 1999...

That post has been around nearly a year. Answers are there if you look.

That's news to me. When I first heard of cmud, Zugg was making it a whole new product line foregoing the old "upgrades are free" deal. I guess plenty of people complained.

It is a new line, and "upgrades are free" have a catch. I'll quote a little from the CMUD forum on Zuggsoft

"Customers who have purchased zMUD since July 1st, 2005 can obtain a free license for CMUD during the CMUD beta period."

"Customers who have purchased zMUD since Sept 5th, 1999 (the date Zugg and Chiara got married...had to pick something!) can obtain a license for CMUD at half-price during the CMUD beta period."

The key point is the discount for zMUD customers is only good while CMUD is still beta. So get it while you can.

"The upgrade policy for CMUD is different than zMUD. You will get free upgrades to CMUD for 2-years after your initial purchase. That's it. Any version released after 2-years from your original purchase will cost half-price of whatever the cost of CMUD is at that time."

Stepping away from the free upgrades for the life of the product is a good financial move on his part, and 2 years is a good while for new versions. Most software that do this kind of thing only go for 6 months to a year. Not to mention half price after that time (which would kick in a new 2 year free upgrade period) is great.

Rock on Zugg, rock on.

The Zuggsoft issue was a problem with our DNS service.. upgrading to the most recent version of bind caused some problems with any existing DNS record that contained a '-'
(it would refused to load the zone file).

It was fixed a couple hours later - sorry about that.
