19.3 Clients / MUD Clients / Telnet clients

A client is software that connects to Achaea to let you play it. It can be either browser-based, downloadable, or a mobile app.

The best options to play Achaea with are:

 * The Nexus client, which is our official client. It runs in a browser and will
   work on all PCs/laptops (Windows, Macs, Linux), as well as tablets. It even
   runs on mobile, though not with full functionality.
   You can access Nexus at http://nexus.achaea.com
   HELP NEXUS will tell you more.
   NOTE: You can JOIN NEXUS to join the in-game clan for support and questions.

 * The Mudlet client, which is a third-party downloadable client for PCs.
   You can find Mudlet at http://www.mudlet.org 
   To connect you'll need to tell it to connect to achaea.com, and either port
   23 or 2003. (Both work.)
   NOTE: You can JOIN MUDLET to join the in-game clan for support and questions.
