Something like Arctic MUD can work for this, but it PWipes semi-regularly (about once a year?) and has things like equipment timers so you tend to spend more time trying to get useful gear than in a long-term one like Materia Magica or Achaea.

I was fooling around with some MUD system about 9 months ago that was just extremely easy to work on... crap, I wish I could remember what it was called. Had an excellent in-game building system, made it easy to create programmable mobs etc. The in-game programming language was C-ish, IIRC it came with a very basic world that included a "university" area and a Midgaard-type starting city. If anybody wanted to start a goon-run MUD, this would be a great base... if I remember the name I'll post it.

Edit: It was Dead Souls, derp.

The gear decay thing hasn't been an issue for nearly a decade unless you are going after absolute top of the line stuff, really. Anyways, what's the point in getting attached to equipment when there's so much available these days.

It's hard to find ones that are fun and not a pain in the rear end to hit a good level at the same time. I do enjoy Tsu but I burn out from it.

Easy example: retromud is pretty cool, but goddamn is it a pain the second you get out of "newbie friendly", to a point.

I think 3 kingdoms was the same, as so was one game where "guilds" were classes (other than 3k), where it effectively became a grind. Was pretty fun though.

I admittedly havent read through the whole thing, but on the first 3 pages I didn't see any mentions of Genesis. This was my first, and only, MUD.

Is my perception of it being a fairly popular and big MUD downright wrong, is it not considered a proper MUD?

# ? May 10, 2011 11:31

Sheep: Jul 24, 2003

It seems pretty popular still, although being the original LPMud will do that for you. Most muds that have made it past the decade mark tend to have a pretty stable core of players.

No idea on the size of the game, I thought it was pretty small since the world was always resetting and one of the main points was everyone killing each other, but I might be remembering a different old LPMud.

Ah, Retromud - one of my early MUDs and one of the ones I played the longest - it's true, though about the post-newbie difficulty. I never really got much past newbiedom on any character, progress can be very very slow, as the game is tailored for the extremely long-term players. BATMud, which retromud branched off of ages ago, is the same, if not worse. It's sad, really, because both of them can be so drat awesome.

I'd love to find a mud with a decent goon population - I'd be in as well if anything comes together on this. Hell, even Retro/BAT would be good with enough goons involved, both are made massively easier with parties of players.

I only played the newbie areas in RetroMUD, but it seemed okay. It was hilarious how you could be a sentient gelatin or a mummy or giant whale-man. I also liked the mechanics for how Paladins and their shields worked, and Fallens and their swords leveling up along with them.

c 'resurrect'thread

I read through this thread and decided to try out Aardwolf, and it is okay so far. Mostly, I'm just level grinding, and I haven't got into any of the social elements. Originally, I played an obscure MUD based in Freyburg, Germany that (back in the mid 90's) has a player base with anywhere from 10-50 people at a time where there was a European player base and a US player base that kept it fairly well populated. I liked it because there were frequent imm-run quests done in a story-teller mode, it was a huge world, and being in a clan made life very interesting. I got so rambunctious that a couple immortals teamed up to legitimately powerlevel some characters to hunt me down and kill me for kicks. Much like these forums, typing like an idiot when you spoke was frowned upon, and RP wasn't enforced unless you were on an imm-run quest (I don't like forsoothing all over the place when I'm trying to play a game).

Now-a-days, I don't know if I have time to invest in searching around for a group of internet friends to play with, so I'm highly interested in either creating a MUD griefing squad of goons on an established (and good) game. Anyone playing something fun right now?

Also, if the consensus is to make a Goon-run MUD (HellMOO or whatever it's called now doesn't do it for me--too over the top and the systems are ugly/weird/broken), I've got some experience going from the ground up on a few different MUDs and imming. So long as someone has a server to host it on, it wouldn't take too long to get a pleasing, workable game going, and I'd be happy to throw my hand into that.

What do ya'll think? Do we have enough interested people to make either idea viable?

I couldn't stand imming, but I'd be a player - the problem I'd see with making a new MUD is it takes a lot of very good people, some serious funding, decades of work, or all three, to make a really good MUD - new ones are often a bit too.. barebones for my taste.

I've seen very good MUDs come up with a single decent programmer, a few bucks a month in server costs, a small team of builders, and in less in a year. Start with a codebase, use tons of the available snippets to get the basic functionality you want, modify those to fit your needs, and allow people to build.

I did one myself on a local machine years ago where I completely remasked the spells/skills to a new theme, added a ton of pre-done functionality, modified it, and had something ready for people to build on in a couple weeks. The building is what takes a long time, and with a few guidelines, anyone can do it quickly.

I was thinking something like CircleMUD 3.0 codebase (stable, relatively clean, lots of open source snips). There's "plugins" like redwalk (define an area by bumping into walls, and it makes the room and exit for you), menu-based building, copyover (reboots to the compiled source are done live, so there's no downtime), in-game spell/skill editors, crafting, etc. Of course, the same snips are often ported to all sorts of codebases, so you could go with ROM, ROT, Smaug, Rogue (C++ instead of C), or what have you.

It's hilariously easy to do once you have a few people that want to build. A 100 room zone can be mapped out super quick. The biggest part is getting everyone to agree on what type of MUD it should be.

As far as costs, if someone has a linux box that's always hooked up and wouldn't mind hosting it, that'd make it relatively free--at the very least, during initial development and beta testing phases.

I have faith in Goondom. What makes a MUD fun isn't so much the code. Playing D&D with assholes isn't fun--but playing it with your friends while drinking beer, cracking jokes, and having a good time is great! Just come up with a fun theme.

Edit: CoffeeMUD (https://www.coffemud.net) is also a good candidate as it is written in java, so it's cross platform, and it offers most of the features you'd want already included. In MUDs, you're just tossing a bunch of equations and text around, so you can cannibalize a lot of code to add new "features", but much of it is just aesthetics.

Start with a codebase, use tons of the available snippets to get the basic functionality you want, modify those to fit your needs, and allow people to build.

I came to post moral support in case anybody jumps into text making - you will need a driven programmer-dictator to keep things moving. I would also go as far as to say you need a good theme/game mechanic idea to have a chance of keeping people interested enough in building. Not to mention that this is also critical for people actually playing - there are hundreds and hundreds of stock smaug/circlemud codebases with a few snippets shoved in and thousands of rooms hand built that no one plays because there is no real originality involved.

I started working on a space colony survival civilization esque procedurally generated (roguelike) text game about 4 months ago. I'm the only one creating the game world/code/content, with another coder who helps when he has time with some of the things he feels like working on, and fellow MUD enthusiast OtspIII, who has been of great help with documentation and clarifying my ideas. Keeping in mind that I'm generally intoxicated and this is a purely hobbyist project, I've come a fair way, implementing things like world generation, biome restricted resource and creature spawning, player skills and combat, and a nice crafting interface.

It'll easily be another 4-8 months before it's playable enough to open up. Encouragement screenshots: number one, and number two. If you can manage to herd 3 goons in the same direction for a couple of months, a running (if not quite playable) MUD is totally doable.

CoffeeMUD is an ok base, although you'll be modifying a lot of source code and recompiling (not sure about the copyover) often if you want to change any mechanics. Many of the built in mechanics are decent and there are tons of built ins from poisons to bard songs to rentable apartments. If you want to really get wild with the theory and virtually guarantee that your chances of the game being playable are 0% (like me!), I've found lambdamoo the best for easily scripting your wild hairs into text.

This is related to the lambdamoo aspect - since in lambdamoo all objects can be children of other objects, you can write your AI routines (such as checking the creature's own state), or callbacks (such as responding to an event in the room) on a parent and only override them when necessary. Mob progs are an arcane reminder of dark times

This was pure fight logic on a single mob so I'm not sure how much it would condense down (a lot of the lengthiness was caused by just needing to react differently to a ton of different character classes) but I suppose it doesn't matter since we're not looking at a codebase change regardless. :v:

The only other MUD of note in my life was AvP MUD. This one, to my knowledge is still going strong. I tried to figure it out a few times but I just kept getting decimated.

It's a competitive PK MUD based on, you guessed it, Aliens Vs. Predator. It's been around for a while. The guy who codes it, FearItself, invented his own scripting language for the game, which is pretty powerful according to a friend of mine who happened to be an admin. It started as CircleMUD but eventually got to the point where the vast majority of the game code was written in the scripting language. The guy eventually wound up with a job at EA as a programmer or something despite being, I believe, completely self taught, which I guess is a pretty good accomplishment, or maybe not, I don't know.

While I never got into the game myself, my friend was addicted to it like crack, and so were a lot of the other players so I guess it wasn't bad.

While this is from the first page, I know, I was surprised to see another AvP MUDder here on SA. I started playing AvP mud just after it went live in 97' and played until it started to go to poo poo around 03'-04'.

Oh how I miss the golden days of AvP, the place was so much fun with an active and vibrant community of like-minded players. It's a shame the game has gone to poo poo and the playerbase is dead now, I had some seriously good times playing that mud back in my younger years. :unsmith:

Well, we just put out an update even if it's not quite one of our usual monsters, if only because areas take up less space in recent.

So, I'm one of the implementors at a mud called Avendar. Between me and one of the other imps and at least one other imm, I suppose that makes us goon-run, for those of you who care about that thing.

I suppose it's in a similar vein to Carrion Fields, in that it was an offshoot some twelve or so years ago; we're generally all about the RP-enforced-but-someone-who-kills-people-for-their-boots-is-a-valid-role/PK. We generally approve of griefing, so long as it stays within the rules.

We've recently been undergoing a lengthy project to gut all the game's classes for balance and another to expand and rewrite the game's pantheon; we just put out a new area to coincide with the release of a new god.

That being said you don't have to be a PK fiend either (the longer you play, the chance of another PC attacking you approaches 1, keep in mind, so if you're thinking you might be interested in playing, you're gonna have to be open to the idea of PK); we also have a sperglord's attention to detail on the setting and are continually working on expanding/refining it. You don't have to get all that into it, but you'll get more out of it (and staff) if you buy in at least a little. We don't use any standard fantasy races; there's not an elf or dwarf anywhere the eye can see.

We don't have a huge playerbase so if you're someone who needs at least twenty people on at a time this probably isn't the game for you... unless you have twenty friends you want to bring. :v:

The only caveat I can think of is that our naming policy is vaguely draconian, we kind of suggest you run the name through google to make sure it doesn't overlap with anything; nobody'll deny you over a bad name but you'll get asked to think of something else and whichever imm was annoyed enough by your name will change it for you.

The game itself is at avendar.com 9999 and we keep our irc channel on irc.synirc.net in #avendar though usual IRC caveat that new people always come in when everyone in the channel has gone to take a poo poo applies.

So, uh, yeah, if you have other questions or whatever, too I'll answer most of them probably.

Oh man, memories. I totally spent a crapload of time in high school playing Realms of Despair (I've tried to go back a couple of times and ended up drawing the same conclusions as Rabbi each time, though).

I think one of my favorites was called A Dark Portal, it was skill-based. You had a bunch of guilds, you could join any number to get skills, and you mastered a percentage of the guild's skills before you could unlock more advanced guilds. It had a really nice RP feel to it - being able to cast a simple magic missile was actually kind of a big deal in-world, if you cast necromantic spells in public you ran the chance of being stigmatized for real (as opposed to no one noticing), et cetera... it's been gone for ages now but if anyone's really that lame/curious you can check out remnants of what might have been here: http://adp.mudbytes.net/

Really wouldn't be surprised if Noximist, the admin, was a goon.

Anyway, I remember having a lot of fun with some MUDs that were pretty Warcraft-like, but I can't remember the names of any of them or the code base... basically you chopped wood, gathered other resources, et cetera, and could build bases and such on an ASCII overworld map.

He coded a 'virtual zone maker' program that could possibly be adapted to whatever codebase a potential GoonMud is written in. It can be downloaded from his site. It automates mobprogs, equipment, balance, etc. It is pretty drat handy for a zone maker as it automates some of the more tedious tasks by setting up a graphical display of the zone, bookmarks, etc.

We should just run a Goon Ground Zero game for a bit. For those who never played it, it's basically PK-only (there are some mobs but the point is PK) where there are two (technically three?) teams fighting each other to fulfill the conditions required to unlock the nuke and press the big red button, blowing up the game and resetting everything. You could classify it as Counterstrike before there were graphics with nukes, rocket launchers, and tanks.

Seems like it'd be the perfect goon setup since it requires literally less than an hour to play a round.

Edit: source code for GZ2 is here if anyone wants to actually make this happen.

Had me thinking you were talking about 9/11 for a bit there.

I spent a fair bit of time playing Godwars and even dabbled in building.

I would be SO down for GoonMud. Just don't give dragons full hp when they morph mid combat, tia.
