Using MUX as a Standard¶
-Evennia allows for any command syntax. If you like the way DikuMUDs, LPMuds or MOOs handle things, you could emulate that with Evennia. If you are ambitious you could even design a whole new style, perfectly fitting your own dreams of the ideal game.
-We do offer a default however. The default Evennia setup tends to resemble MUX2, and its cousins PennMUSH, TinyMUSH, and RhostMUSH. While the reason for this similarity is partly historical, these codebases offer very mature feature sets for administration and building.

Evennia is not a MUX system though. It works very differently in many ways. For example, Evennia -deliberately lacks an online softcode language (a policy explained on our softcode policy -page). Evennia also does not shy from using its own syntax when deemed appropriate: the +deliberately lacks an online softcode language (a policy explained on our softcode policy page). Evennia also does not shy from using its own syntax when deemed appropriate: the MUX syntax has grown organically over a long time and is, frankly, rather arcane in places. All in all the default command syntax should at most be referred to as “MUX-like” or “MUX-inspired”.
