I'm the same, but from the other side. I learned to code clients/bots that would play the MUD. I had a fantastic fighting script, that basically fought optimally, one that used two characters at the same time to solve some complicated maze, and I even wrote a headless bot runner that was compatible with the files of the MUD client I used.

It was all great fun, and I also owe my extensive regex experience to it.

me too. that's how I learned Perl (scripting language of mmc). What was your mud client/language?

MUSHclient and Python! I guess also VBscript, strictly speaking, but I switched to Python later on.
