A note about telnet clients: While any telnet client (such as Window's telnet.exe) will allow you to connect to Area51_MOO, we recommend that you use a client specifically created for use on MOOs, MUDs, and MUSHs. Here are some links to several popular MOO clients. You may also download the small, yet functional, MUTT Lite shareware client for Windows 3.1 and 95 from this page. This client does not require any setup. Simply download it and run it. However, it will not have the full range of features which the other clients offer.

For Macintosh: MUDDweller
For DOS: MUDCaller
For Windows: MUDWin


THEME: Area51_MOO is not about UFOs. Rather, it is more about deserts and abandoned junk, secret installations and old, cranky wierdos in tin trailers. Imagine if David Lynch had done Twin Peaks in the Nevada desert instead of the Pacific Northwest. This is not to say that we're opposed to UFOs, just not overly interested in them.

PURPOSE: Area51_MOO is primarily an educational MOO, providing a text-based virtual reality environment for educators to use in their instructional pedagogies. Area51_MOO's current educational focus is on Computer Science instruction/experimentation, and English Composition assistance. No MOO is complete without a social aspect, though, so Area51_MOO by no means limits itself to educational pursuits. Feel free to come to Area51_MOO to be social, too. There's some really wild stuff going on in Area51_MOO, just don't step on any of the students, and don't egg any teachers.


If you do not have a character on Area51_MOO, type "connect guest" at the telnet login screen. You may then request a character by typing "@request [character name] [your e-mail address]". Type "help" after login to see a listing of commands, and help on them.
