I am exactly “I miss MUDding” years old

I was the main builder for one called Lost Prophecy. I was obsessed. I easily wrote a few novels of words for descriptions of rooms, items, mobs, and their stats and programming.

I asked the guy who ran it after it was totally dead many years ago if we could release all my work publicly for other people to enjoy on still-active MUDs. He said no. Makes me sad to this day.

That is sad, but unsurprising. MUD owners were a special breed of cat. I really enjoyed Avatar, the admin there was legendarily unapproachable.

Special breed of cat indeed. Admins were generally awful. I never even got so much as a thanks for all the work I put in.

Not that I'm not weird as fuck for spending incredible amounts of time in my early teens doing all that on a tiny MUD. When MUDs had already become a niche interest.

Discworld MUD still is pretty active the last I logged in, probably three or four years ago.
