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...
