Twisol said: No, not every MUD uses ATCP. In fact, very few do. I know the Iron Realms games can (Achaea, Aetolia, Imperian, Lusternia, Midkemia), possibly Aardwolf (or do they use GMCP?), and at least a couple others. But other than that handful, ATCP's pretty rare.
Aardwolf supports both ATCP and GMCP, as well as its own protocol (102).
I'm aware of at least 30 muds that support ATCP, but I don't know any that support only ATCP - ElephantMUD supports ZMP and ATCP, and all the others use either GMCP or MSDP as their primary protocol with ATCP as a fallback.
Twisol said: And it doesn't come stock with any codebase I'm familiar with. (I'm not familiar with any of them, but that's beside the point. :D)
Revision 285 of the TBA codebase includes it as stock.
