Once yer talking text only, you're talking MORGs, heheh. Sojourn is the MUD that EQ was loosely based on, where Aradune et al played back in the day. It maxes at about 150 players in the evening. It's a Forgotten Realms theme MUD, and the best I've played.

Telnet: 24.30.213.150 port 9999
Website: http://68.100.62.165:8080/

Use the forums - lots more players browse them than actually play anymore.

Oh, and Jackass!

We could start one!

Winnow enters the room
Current room occupants: Howie1, Winnow
/description
There is a large chandelier in the middle of the room with a pair of elephant balls hanging from it.
/special attack Howie1
*Winnow jumps into the air and performs a Pele bicycle kick striking one of the elephant balls, launching it at Howie1 and hits him directly in the forehead*
Howie1 has died

I love text only online games! You can be so creative! Visualization is so much better than actually seeing it take place.

Pimp Wars used to be the shit.

Buying sluts, thugs, guns, and cars.
Stealing sluts, guns, and cars.
Making and selling CRACK!

Its just like reality...

Yuppers, a few of the old Outriders of Karana are back on that mud. The best things about this mud are that it is free, there aren't a bazillion people on at the same time, there are a shit load of zones, and the Gods (admins and such) are all really cool (no wait for your customer service so to speak).

IF anyone remembers Legend of the Red Dragon back in the BBS days, you will like Legend of the Green Dragon.

A web-based spin-off. Still in BETA. Fun as hell.

This is the first one that I found: http://kortalh.com/lotgd/

And I started one on my web site: http://www.aoaveeshan.com/logd

Heh, I used to play Sojourn back in the day. Played it for a few years actually. Believe it or not, I was Rianna on Sojourn as well, though I was a Cleric. It was a good laugh. I believe I was part of the Zentarium (can't remember how it was spelled). Heh, those were fun times!

Post by **Xouqoa** » May 6, 2003, 4:22 pm

haha, that legend of the green dragon thing owns.

We are working on setting up a BBS accessible via telnet... if we get it up and working I plan on running LORD as a door game. But we might have to set up LOGD too for people who don't understand telnet. (It's easy, though.)

Post by **pyrella** » May 6, 2003, 5:20 pm

ys, we were looking at LOtGD a little while ago when we had set up BNT - then with the bandwidth increases and subsequent move to new place, we've been trying to get a bunch of the stuff we wanted up, up. Should probably make a new status of VV post soon.

expect lotgd soon

Llaffer · Post by **Llaffer** » May 6, 2003, 5:22 pm

I used to run a BBS back in the early-mid 90's from my house while I was in college. It was fun. I had several games in it, including LoRD.

Doubt anyone here knows it, but the name of the BBS was "The Dragon's Nest" located in Bloomington, MN.

I'd be happy to help out, test, etc. your telnetable BBS when you have something set up.

Post by **Xouqoa** » May 6, 2003, 5:29 pm

Well, it's working atm. We're trying to figure out DOSEMU so we can run DOS bbs games on linux. =) That's the current hang up.

Llaffer · Post by **Llaffer** » May 6, 2003, 5:49 pm

Ahh .. I can see where you'd be having problems. I'll try to see if I can get it working on my linux box and we'll compare notes.

Gemstone III is the pwn! Thess you got any accounts with shit left? friend of mine still plays and I play when I'm bored with PlanetSide/in lieu of another beta. Sirensa, what was your name, hoe?

Sirensa · Post by **Sirensa** » May 6, 2003, 5:58 pm

I played Kianni - half elf Rogue Voln member!! (down with CoL!!!) I quit shortly after they introduced class guilds. Was pretty cool.

P.S. - I was the leetest boxie picker! And Massies ruled!~

murr · Post by **murr** » May 6, 2003, 6:00 pm

Ah cool. Played a few diff chars, Palamides, Randuril, Raolan, Azraen..quit so many times to play EQ again that didn't really last long, was always a good merchant though, hehe.
Friend stuck with it, Uthenegal/Teinnek, has like a level 120 rogue now or something absurd. His brother has a similar level wizard, Kratcheck. Lala

I played this MUD for 3 years before EQ, it was fun
it's not free though, you got 5 free logins, then they charge per month per character ($4-5)
