Come to Valhalla: Beginning: Getting To Valhalla

  1. Beginning
  2. Getting Into Valhalla

Valhalla used to be on a computer at the University of San Diego. It no longer exists. But this document will still be useful for beginners to MOO.

Getting To Valhalla: Internet

In order to get to a “MOO”, you need a “MOO Client”, just like you need a web client to get to the web, or an e-mail client to get e-mail. If you don’t have a MOO client, don’t panic: you can use any old telnet program at first.

You also need to know the “host” and the “port” of the MOO you want to get to. For example, if the MOO says to use the host valhalla.hoboes.com, and port 4444, you would ‘telnet’ to:

telnet valhalla.hoboes.com 4444

Note that Valhalla MOO isn’t actually running right now: it only runs when I have need of it. But I’ll be using it for examples because it’s the one I use most often.
