Works great! Went ahead and bought it for some MUDding I've been into lately. Turns out I already play AU on the list, too. How 'bout that! : )

Thanks! I wanted to include some of the more popular MUDs, but not so many as to be overwhelming for newbies. 1.0.1 is already with Apple and I've got some really exciting gesture-based movement coming up in 1.1. Reviews are always appreciated - in 1.0.1 I removed the review nag-dialog. :)
Gesture-based movement would be very interesting. Using the app also got me to thinking about common interactions using links - i.e. click a monster's name to attack it, an item's name to pick it up, etc. That could take some doing, though - how could the client distinguish between an object vs. mob, for example.

Might be interesting to be able to hide room descriptions and tap to expand them somehow. I don't typically use them in-game anyways, and on the app it's even more in the way.
