MUME, Multi-Users in Middle-earth, is a MUD based upon J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-Earth during the epic war between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the Free peoples. MUME is completely free to play and has been continuously running, expanded, and remastered by a community of volunteers since 1991.
The action takes place nearly 100 years prior to The Hobbit but long after the loss of the One Ring by Sauron. The key to Erebor has just been found by Gandalf in Dol Guldur and all the epic tales narrated in The Lord of the Rings may take place.
Create your own hero: a Man, Hobbit, Elf, Dwarf, Orc, or Troll. Explore the Shire, Bree, Rivendell, the Grey Havens, Lothlórien, the Misty Mountains, the dark halls of Moria, Mirkwood, the ruins of Ost-in-Edhil and many other places. Join the battle between Good and Evil!
There are a few ways to play:
1) Directly in the browser at https://mume.org/play/browser
2) With your favourite MUD client via telnet://mume.org:4242
3) Use our custom map software (compatible with Windows, Linux and MacOS) as a proxy to see a wonderful graphical map while playing:
