Wondering how many of us Mud'ed or Moo'ed in our life?

(For reference they were online games back in the day when you had to use Telnet - and usually a baud rate modem to connect to them) They were like a text based game.. I played a few back in the day, and were addicting as hell, alas, graphic based games blew them outta the water :)

I played one where I was a smurf. I was not very good at remember all the commands and stuff so I got mad and stopped after a night or two. Of course back then I could barely ever think straight.

I hacked quite a few LPMuds back in '90-91, though I called DartMud home.

I had lots of fun wizard toys, and I caused lots of fun mischief.

I had a toy that would make two people fight, but I made it look like the other player started it. Lots of fun to Muds that banned player killing.

I had a toy that would randomly make it look like another user shouted a randomly generated swear tirade at another player (or Wizard)

I would silently turn of the "wimpy" setting on players, so that they would die instead of run away.

Of course. Played several, then coded and wrote for one for a couple years.

I even became an admin but had to retire for lack of time due to study and work.

They were great, the threshold for people to participate was much lower than with modern, graphic games and they allowed really wonderful communities to grow.

Majestic Realm was my main for a number of years. From Iceonline local BBS until it went Internet. Then the company was bought out by EA and everything fell apart :P I suspect EA wanted it because they didn't have an Internet infrastructure at the time and Ice owners were prior EA employees.

Played some MUSH'es based on anime. Played some Heavy Gear. Did some level design on a really early Finaly Fantasy MUD that was being started by pre Returners FF RPG(yeah before the split to Returners and Shinra and the fall of the Shinra group).

However most of it was just escapism for personal Trauma. I don't MUD,MUSH, MOO anymore. Though I have dabbled with a friend to create a new MUD engine to be a little more open-ended and easier to work with; at least in theory(ie behind the scenes new engine, not modifying current engine).

I moo'd a bit, lambdamoo I think our schools moo was called, spent a lot of time coding in it, although nothing as awesome sounding as tyrannical's 'toys'. Was quite fun, but man it was such a long time ago now.

I still play a game called Major Mud (MMUD). Text based fantasy. Look it up on Mudcentral.net or telnet into braintoys.org and play it yourself :)

A bit, mainly at University.

Haven't done it in over a decade, but it was interesting.

I was more into inter-BBS games. Those were great. There was a fantasy one that I played were every BBS was like it's own nation and every player had their own area that they controlled. You could go to war with other BBSs and build alliances and stuff. It'd be cool if that stuff was still around and any forum could have one.

A game called Legend of something, wasn't too long ago really maybe 2000 or 99.

That game was odd, fun but wierd, probably one of the first time sink games out.
