mud2.com

  • noun The incarnation of MUD2 running at mud2.com (hence the all-lower-case name) since 1997. Also known as .com.

    Historical note: Viktor Toth had arch-wizzed for NVN and Kesmai MUDs. He had been planning for some time running a stand-alone MUD2 site of his own, given the chaos that the Interplay decision had wrought and the fact that Kesmai's interest in their own MUD2 was so hands-off that it was debatable whether they even knew they still had it. They eventually realise, though: the final catalyst was their abrupt termination of Kesmai MUD, which left a whole community of loyal players wondering what was to become of their game. Within a week, VIKTOR had bought the hardware, acquired a MUD2 licence, installed the software, and linked it to the Internet. He bought the domain name 'mud2.com', which had become available after the previous owner declined to pay maintenance on it, and the system is now running very well indeed. So it looks like Viktor is due to be hit by a small truck sometime soon, then.
