MPGN MUD

  • noun The incarnation of MUD2 which ran on the Multi-Player Games Network from 1994 to 1996.

    Historical note: MPGN wanted MUD2, but when they got it they didn't really know what to do with their new-found acquisition. They had an idea to write it a graphical client, but they couldn't spare the programming effort. Its not having a graphical client meant it looked odd when placed against their other software (as did the fact that MUD2 was functional...), and it also suffered somewhat from a botched launch. The network connection to MPGN went down regularly, and took time to be reset. The arch-wizzes had some problems of their own, and eventually MPGN withdrew the game (it took under $2 royalties in its last 3 months, so you can hardly blame them), promising to restore it if MUSE could provide a graphical client itself. Maybe one day...
