Was watching a friend play the NES version and wondered if there was a newer one. Luckily I found this!

Hello folks!

Original M.U.L.E. player here (C64).  I tried Planet M.U.L.E. some years ago but was disappointed that the character choice was irrelevant.  In the original game, as I recall, each character type had a specific advantage:  Leggites moved faster, Flappers started with moar $, Packers were better at farming food... the other characters may have had other advantages that I don't remember.  But in Planet M.U.L.E., the only difference that I could discern among characters was their visual appearance.

So my question:  have the characters' strategic advantages yet been programmed into Planet M.U.L.E.?

(I apologize if this is a FAQ, but I looked through the board here and didn't see it.)

The Windows 7/10 download was removed and the Windows XP/Vista Download is now for all Windows (Issue with the Java engine compatibility in the Windows 7/10 download, and the Java Engine is the only thing that was actually different.  Symptoms were in game chat didn't function properly and no sound.)

That said, the freezing issue has not been fixed on game close.  The game source will actually need to be rewritten to solve that in Windows 10, and I have a feeling that's never going to happen so it's just going to be a matter of opening task manager to kill the Java task for Windows 10 users from now on.

Download Section has been changed as per request here from that email.

What was the change?

If it matches the website it "should" work.

There is one called Joy2Key (Google it)  Still works in 10 as far as I know.  I haven't used it since my last Windows 10 build update, but it worked with Build 1703.

I just sent an email to the team that wrote this version of Mule. Sadly they aren't involved with Mule anymore, they passed it off to another company, but they are assisting with contacting said company, hopefully we get some updates, this is a freely hosted and unsupported piece of software for the most part, it was programmed by volunteers.  They put a great effort to make it as good as it is, but they abandoned it long ago, we are going on 7 years without a significant update.  Getting to the stage that if you don't have an outdated system to run it on, it isn't going to be available to play, Windows 10 can play it, but not without issue, last Mac OS that could run it is OSX Mojave, and it was a headache to make it work.  Even the linux builds have their complications popping up now.

I will try to keep everyone posted if I find out anything.
