Do you guys remember MUDding?

(1/6) > >>

Holy crap. Seriously, I started this in high school. I used to play four to six hours a night. I quit in college, but I recently hit a really slow time at work and picked it back up. It's like crack mixed with heroin and I can't stop myself.

You pound the Caemlyn guard with the Staff of Decapitation.
Your set of quarite armour glows white-hot, and reflects back to the Caemlyn guard.
The Caemlyn guard nicks you with its burnished longsword.
The Caemlyn guard missed you.
The Caemlyn guard blocks your attack.

Yeah. Get those fancy graphics out of my text-box.

Oh, hell yes! o/

I spent my high school days in the world of Lensmoor, crafting words and killing different words. Hell, MUDding was one of the first things I did when I got the INTERNET back when I was 8, started playing Gemstone 3 and then Dragonrealms.

Fuck you, MMOs. They stole the userbase from MUDs, which were so much more dynamic and interesting.

Orbert:
I used to MUD all the time, even got to be a Creator on one.  The MUD, and my creations, are still out there challenging the next generation of MUDders.  Which is smaller than the last.  Which is sad. :(

Yep, MMOs are basically MUDs with graphics, except that the Users can't become Creators and add to the base.  That was what I thought made MUDs so cool.  Each had its own flavor, because each one really was different.

Jackie Blue:
Never found MUDs appealing when I tried them in '89-'93.  I did dick around and program a bunch of stuff into LambdaMOO, though, which now that I think about it is incredibly embarrassing because MOOs were basically Second Life without graphics.

I did honestly meet some cool people there though.

I've been screwing around in Tharsis Gate (www.tharsis-gate.org)

Its player base has all but disappeared. Strangely enough, nearly every person i remember from 8 years ago still plays.

It's amazing how something this simple can get its hooks into people that badly.
