A post in another community reminded me of my deep dark past. A time where I helped build an LPMud from the ground up. Lost Souls. Amazingly this MUD is STILL up and running after more than 33 YEARS.
I'm no longer on it, or even have an account. In fact I think they blocked my username along with the other wizards who were the original builders to preserve history in some fashion. My username here is the same as it was there. ๐
If you have ever played a MUD, check it out. If you haven't you might want to dip your toes in and see what it's about. If you do decide to hop on and the user Chaos is online, tell him I said hi. ๐
I played a fair few MUDs back in the day, but what does LP stand for, here?
LP was the initials of the developer. What was cool about LP muds was the ability to code new areas/weapons/etc directly in the game. You, as a wizard, could create a new area and load the objects and interact with them immediately.

Cool. Honestly, I've was nostalgic recently and looking around trying to find any MUD that was still operating and healthy. I'll check it out.
