Without client-side scripting, a mud client is of significantly reduced
use for most text-mud players. We added client-side scripting to our java
client this year because without it no experienced player was going to use
it except as a convenience login from work or whatnot. It still lacks the
functionality of Zmud (the gold standard of text mud clients) in that it
doesn't have an auto-mapping feature, for instance.
