Discworld MUD

[Jintor]

Wikipedia defines a MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) as this:

In computer gaming, a MUD (multi-user dungeon, dimension, or sometimes domain) is a multi-player computer game that combines elements of role-playing games, hack and slash style computer games, and social Internet Relay Chat channels. Typically running on a bulletin board system or Internet server, the game is text driven, where players read descriptions of rooms, objects, events, other characters, and computer-controlled creatures or non-player characters (NPCs) in a virtual world. They may interact with each other and the surroundings by typing commands that resemble a natural language, usually English.

Note Text driven.

Anywho, the MUD i play is this one.

Discworld MUD is a free MUD based on the Discworld series of books by Terry Pratchett. It was founded in 1991 and opened to the public in 1992. The world has developed over time to the huge size it is today. It consists of several big cities (Ankh-Morpork, Bes Pelargic, Genua and Djelibeybi) on two continents, many small towns scattered around, and hundreds of thousands of rooms which form the land between the cities and towns. Many of the Discworld characters wander around on the disc. At any time, there are usually between 100 and 200 players online. The MUD is based on a custom mudlib and uses its own LPMud driver.

For discworld fans, it's heaven. For MUD fans, it's heaven. For those who love an active userbase. It's heaven.

Just giving out a friendly nod-out because i think practically no-one has ever heard of it. Go on, give it a try - it won't kill you...

are you kidding.. I love the discworld novels. best books ever, totally overlooked because of rampant kids worshipping harrypotter.

Seriously they need to bring out another game, but only if Pratchett has a hand in making it.
