  1. today’s research is a book of collected articles about MOOs. 25 years after the public virtual world boom, it’s refreshing finding that so much good research was done before it all collapsed in the late 2000s

  6. i've been reading a late-90s book about virtual worlds - some of them VRML-based, many custom 2d and 3d clients, and some MUSHes/MOOs/MUDs

    i came across a scientific MUD i had never heard before, and i'm absolutely blown away by its goals and implementation: NAU Solar System Simulation/SolSys by prof Reed Riner at northern arizona university. it was online from 1990 until at least 2017 (and maybe longer?).

    there is a little information out there on what SolSys was:

    "The Solar System Simulation, originated at CONTACT VI in 1987, was developed into an intercollegiate curriculum at Northern Arizona University by Reed Riner, as an honors course in Anthropology and Engineering. Since 1990, it has included student teams from many colleges and universities around the globe.

    The teams represent colonies in a simulated future human community in space. For example, Mars Colony is normally manned by NAU and the Cabrillo College team traditionally inhabits the L-5 Colony near Earth. (See L-5 artwork left by Joel Hagen.) Teams communicate via websites, Internet e-mail and a Multiple User Domain (MUD), a text-based, virtual reality program. Students are directed and encouraged by their local faculty advisors and by a board of professional consultants in the social and space sciences."

    contact-conference.org/c03.html

    seriously - a hardcore scientific MUD built around real-life anthropology and space exploration. and entire mud devoted to teaching players how to cooperate in order to accomplish goals together, instead of killing a bunch of shit. how fucking cool is that?

    did anyone here play/use SolSys when it was still alive?

    the urls went dead when prof reed passed away last year, and the university wiped his webspace

    SolSys ran on a modified version of tinyMUD, focused largely on building and communicating. this is its last known homepage:

    Musk runs a pedophile child assault porn site.

    Elon Musk runs a pedo porn site that he uses to attract criminals to overthrow the US.

    Child porn on twitter is a Musk thug recruitment program.

    Weeping mothers demand he stop.

    "Trump is disingenuously claiming to have facilitated a rescue mission to bring the astronauts home, accusing the Biden administration of having “abandoned” them. The president’s latest social media diatribe on the return of Crew-9, posted to Truth Social on Monday, is a doozy, filled with nonsensical claims and glaring inaccuracies. We went through Trump’s post, fact-checking the president’s various claims and providing background and context to reveal the true story."

  23. So, this is a random shout into the void, but just in case anyone looking happens to be interested...

    CrystalMUSH is back online, after 10+ years of neglect by me. So... if you played there in the distant past, please come back? :)

    Game is up at crystalmush.kydance.net:6886, same as previously.

  29. It's 2025 and it's easy to quickly assume that #MUD #games are dead or at least stuck with the original ones. But nope, MUDs are very much alive! #gaming #MUSH #MOO (P.s. I, too, still play MUDs to this day. 😁)

  30. @lowqualityfacts

    Who is this #Mush guy. First off, he sounds like a stinky editor, but I don't want to accuse him of that at this time. Gotta give him some latitude. And what is this "X" thing he refers to so often??????

  31. Are there any MUDs that are kind of like some of the modern text adventures where they're running in a GUI window with some still graphics, but still a text based game? (Like maybe art of towns or NPCs).

    Or do any have plugins for MUD clients that do this sort of thing? That'd be interesting.

  32. @ingalls Aha! Found a recipe for corn-meal mush (which also includes a little flour, must be a binder), from 1913 (thus the instructions on cooking it "directly over the fire").

    google.com/books/edition/House #cornmeal #mush

  33. New interview with Tat, creator of Shattered #MUSH! It's hard to sum up this game in a few words, but I'll try:

    wield powerful magic, ride mythical creatures, and text message your friends

    Interview here 👉 writing-games.org/shattered-mu/

    Lots of great advice for #storytellers, too.

  34. Things you realise once you reach #Forever28.

    * You can finish and become rich in #SimFarm. But as a Forever28, you can't duplicate your success.
    * You can win every single game of #CaesarIII and #CaesarIV, but not as a Forever28.
    * You play #Diablo (the original) without cheating (especially the duplicate cheat). As a Forever28, you can't even imagine how you played Diablo without cheating.

    Most important of all: you still don't like #eyecandy games. Games like #MUD / #MUSH (text-based online #RPG), #roguelike, dungeon crawlers, and isometric games, are still your go to #games.

  35. Instead of setting up my website and HuGo projects in this temporary desktop PC, I instead started learning how #MUDlet scripting works.

    I need to port over our #MUSHclient scripts to MUDlet, so I can play #AnsalonMUD regularly again (since I'm on #Linux). I like the current version of MUDlet, it has come a long way since I last checked it.

    And from what little I've read so far, the scripting and layout customisation are also better.

    (I also need to brush up my #Lua, it has been a few years since I last used it. LOL.)

    ---

    AnsalonMUD is a #DragonLance-based MUD. It first went online in June 1996.

    This is a memorable one:
    * My first (non-personal) website was the “Unofficial AnsalonMUD Website”, sometime late 1997 and early 1998. (The label “unofficial” was popular, “fansite” was not the go-to term back then.)
    * When AnsalonMUD launched its official website in 1998, I changed my website into a personal DragonLance fansite.
    * I later acquired (I asked for it) the dragonlance_cjb_net domain after the original site/owner acquired dragonlance.com and moved to it. (SEO doesn't exist back then, no 'juice' to care about.)
    * I started building this website because I want to learn #HTML and was followed the development of #CSS later.

    While that website no longer exist, and unfortunately, the old files got stuck in an old HDD that no longer works (though I still have the HDD haha), I am still playing AnsalonMUD to this day.

    So, yeah, almost 27 years later (I joined #Ansalon in 1997), I am still playing one of the longest-running DragonLance-based MUD.
