Okay, so tbaMUD is actually more of a support group instead of a gaming mud. They are there helping Anyone who walks in and asks. They have EXTENSIVE help files that explain by example and description how to use olc, trigedit, *edit, etc. Plus, to new coders it is invaluable, they offer their code base as it is the way they use it. It is Very clearly written and quite simple to jump into and start coding with, and as a big bonus it compiles on nearly all systems easily and if you do spot a bug or typo in their code, let them know and they fix it and give credit! Even I have my name in there a few times.

Also, the Staff themselves are the most helpful Imm's I've ever been in contact with. They help fix code, work with you on problems, simple and complex. I use them as the center of my mud coding community if I find a problem I cant solve. A quick chat with most anyone on their forums gets me straight.
