Tbh, they could have fixed telnet's ambiguous newline standard and client implementation clusterfuck by implementing ssh. Even a ssh tunnel can be used to standardize inputs. They could also just check which EOL character(s) the client is using and have the server adjust accordingly on their end, although that could be annoying depending on the implementation.I don't think so. I played an actively developed mud that had 20 year old bugs with the end of line character which simply couldn't be solved due to protocol.so there is absolutely zero need to adapt to newer versions or technologies
You could literally have sex with them, they reached the age of consent. In a few years they'll hit the wall.
Regardless, my point stands about how there has been zero need to adapt to telnet protocol changes because it's still the same shit.
