This week I reconnected to the MUD I used to play 20 years ago. I'm amazed it's still running. I've forgotten nearly everything.

I've been having a blast these past few days exploring the vast world.

There's nothing that Google can tell me about it. There's still people playing (and building) it, so I can ask for help - my old clan is still going even - but there's no instant fix on everything.

I don't know how long it'll last, and the time it will take is too much to fully immerse, but I've already started making some maps and trying to tackle some quests.

Out of curiosity, which MUD?

I used to play EliteMUD a ton decades ago. We used to get up at 6am to grab some computer terminals at the city's computer center and play all day.

I could've played from home but the phone bill would've been crippling.

RavenMUD. It's now running on ravenmud.com port 6060.

Please share. Perhaps if a few more join it can last longer.

The MUD I think will be fine, it's my interest in playing it that I'm not so sure about :-)

As I said in the other reply on this thread, it's RavenMUD, ravenmud.com 6060.
