I was the main builder for one called Lost Prophecy. I was obsessed. I easily wrote a few novels of words for descriptions of rooms, items, mobs, and their stats and programming.
I asked the guy who ran it after it was totally dead many years ago if we could release all my work publicly for other people to enjoy on still-active MUDs. He said no. Makes me sad to this day.
That is sad, but unsurprising. MUD owners were a special breed of cat. I really enjoyed Avatar, the admin there was legendarily unapproachable.
Special breed of cat indeed. Admins were generally awful. I never even got so much as a thanks for all the work I put in.
Not that I'm not weird as fuck for spending incredible amounts of time in my early teens doing all that on a tiny MUD. When MUDs had already become a niche interest.
