Mud Clients
A MUD client is specially made for playing MUDs. A MUD client is better than plain telnet, because they incorporate many more options. Here are links to some popular MUD clients. Note: Not all of these are free, some are just freeware. The programs are copyright by their respective owners.

Lee Kelly II
Genewic Mud Client for Winsock is designed to facilitate interaction with
a MUD server, and can be used in place of the standard telnet command.
Separate input and output windows, avoiding the most annoying aspect of
using telnet, in which the incoming text is interspersed with what you
type.
zMUD by Zugg Software
Not a free MUD client, but many think it is the best. The downloadable trial offers 30 uses.
KevTerm
KevTerm is an awesome program. It is freeware, and only 65k. It supports color. Try it!

Blessing Point Redemption
Blessing Points are a god's way of rewarding a mortal for doing something
right or civil. They appear as hovering gold rings in a character's
description. These blessing points can be redeemed for different things
by gods as follows:
1 per negative 25 mana/hp removed from item
1 per anti-alignment affect removed on item (side effect: takes off all other extras like hum etc.)
1 per pound of weight modified on item (not to go below 5 tenths)
1 per transfer to or from area
1 per 25 quest points
5 per level gained (non-heroes - type 'beseech')
