A MUD is a multi-user dungeon. There used to be a MUD based on The Land. It was based in Norway, I think. The URL ended with a .no in any case.

Anyway, for those who MUD, it was unique in that it was entirely based on the Land, and you could injure body parts, not just take 'damage'.

Does anyone know what happened to this MUD? If anyone knows, I have admined a few MUDs and built a few, and I would be very interested in running or helping run such a project.

Does anyone out there have any information regarding the Land MUD?

Welcome to the Watch Baabng. I'm afraid I know nothing about it...You might wanna ask the guys in the Video Games forum too...They might not notice this post stuck away in here.

Sounds interesting. Look around, join in, have fun.

I am starting to work on a Land based MUD now. I will keep anyone interested informed of what is happening, hopefully on a weekly basis. I will post the progress in the Video Games section (even though there is no video to the game).

What's "multi-user dungeon" mean? How is it different from a multi-player game?

And welcome!

Well, it is a text based game that is multi-player. The term MUD pre-dates the term "multi-player". Multi-User was the name used in the late 80's

Ah. Well, I guess that site isn't running these days? Although I don't know what we're supposed to do as far as "building" goes, I tried to connect anyway. But it didn't work.

this was the address of the site from Norway which had the original MUD from the land. it has not worked for a few years, if I remember correctly. I am going to start a brand new land MUD

I'm sure you'll find a few people interested here. Might give it a go myself.

well, so far, I wrote the help files for the immortals. Getting ready to start building rooms. If anyone is interested in helping design, let me know. I will put it on the web soon if I have help. If I do not have any help, there is no need to put it online at this particular juncture.

If you are interested in helping build, OLC is preferred, but not required. (OLC is online creation experience).

You have to be a stickler for spell checks and proper grammer and you have to like quoting all the books. All descriptions will be based on SDR's writings except where those are insufficient.

I plan on making the Land be mostly from the 1st and 2nd Chrons, but might add more when the future gets here.

Grammar.

Sorry, mate, couldn't resist...

Sounds like a good idea. Best of luck with the game.

I typed that in a hurry. AND, my grammAr sucks. I teach chemistry.

Haha, I have no idea how it all works...although I know what MUD's are, I never played any.

Pfft! It's all about the humanities!

I think Lumikant (sp?) was also working on a TC MUD or MUSH.

Yes, but sociologists are usually lousy at chemistry. They're no good when I want to know an atomic weight, or how different substances react, or whatever.
