Was just thinking about playing VikingMUD in college back in 1994 or so. Figured there was a halfway decent chance that a Doper or two had played. I wasn’t super high level but was on quite a bit (more than I should have been, I’m sure!) as Nigel.
I loaded it up again through an emulator of some type back in 2000 or so, but haven’t tried since. Is it even still around? Yeah, I guess I could look for that answer myself.
We can make this a generic thread about MUDs/MUSHs in general as well to make it more useful. Or, we can see if Sicks has posted another thread that dies in an hour or two
I was a legendMud guy. I played in college, and every minute was deducted from my systems account. All it really did was make my online research with things like Archie was reallly hasty.
Played AvatarMud since 1994 and still do. Well sorta.
I’m not an active player but an administrator.
Recently I’ve been neglecting my “duties” there as RL simply takes first place.
I started playing back in college and skipped classes for it (no worries, I was going to flunk at some point anyways)
In fact I skipped so much of my real classes that the folks at the computer lab thought I was a IT student and had to work in the lab
