Greetings! You happened to find (under very low odds) my
own website on MU*'s and such. This site will inform you on
how I got in MU*'s, and codes availble, building tips etc.
Firstly, I began my life in the MU* world by getting introduced
to a MUD (Multi User Dungeon). A MUD, is simply a place where
you go too, create a character and travel through with this
character all over the worlds that are housed there. No special
hardware is needed, all you need is the internet, to connect
you to the right server's address and port. I would strongly
advise you visit http://www.mudconnect.com
to visit go and find a MUD of your choice.
Anyway - when I first saw it - I was quite taken aback by
the whole ordeal. I was shown it by a friend, who said it
was really good. All it was, was text! Nothing but text. No
pictures, nothing. Just colourful writing along the screen.
I hated it from the word go - mainly because I was used to
things happening for me in games like 'Battle Zone' and 'Jedi
Knight, Dark Forces 2'. I never even saw a MUD again until
a few weeks later - when I ran out of things to do. For some
reason - I stayed there. It was a weird habbit I got into
- and it drove my parents nuts, cause I was on the internet
all the time.
So I began my MUD'ing experience from there - which happened
to be 'Medievia'. This MUD alone, alows you to create a person,
either a Mage, Cleric, Warrior or Thief and lets you go around
developing skills for that Person. It was a great MUD to start
off in, mainly because it was so original and huge. A mixture
of overland maps, and dragon riding, quests, and killing.
It was great..
I soon rose in levels, got to level 25 and began to dawdle.
It was now getting a bit boring. I had played 300 hours on
it totally, and was getting sick of it. So I hunted down for
some new MUD's to play. It was only now that I realized how
bad some MUD's really are. I happened to start on a brilliant
one - with loveable immortals, 1000 players or so on /all/
the time. I decided that I would like to find a Dragonball
Z related MUD - where instead of being mages, clerics, you
could be Saiyans and Nameks. I found my first DB MUD, DB Series
which got me started. It soon went down though - and I was
forced to move on.
I jumped to here and there, hunting for a MUD that would
keep me for a decent amount of time. I eventually found 'The
Mud connector'. It was the best site I have ever come across.
Hundreds upon hundreds of MUD's, listed in alphabetical order.
It was alot better than typing in yahoo; 'DBZ Telnet games'.
I experienced a rather different assortment of MUD's, and
learnt about the different forms they come in: Smaug, Circle,
Rom to name a few. (See my CODE page for more info on these)
This is when I discovered Dragonball Z World. Truly, the
best DBZ MUD out there. I started up - and I still regulary
find myself back there. I also discovered Dragonball Saga,
which was basically the same except for a few minor things.
These soothed my MUD'ing needs for a few months.
Alright, so here I was - going into my second year of MUDing.
It was pretty much, same old same old. So I decided - why
not build one for myself? I soon learnt the art of Coding
and Building. Discovering that I had no natural brain in Coding,
I decided to take up being a builder. I did this, and played
MUD's for a mixture amount of time over the next months.
As I grew in age - I began to take up an interest in Star
wars, and with the release of Episode 1 not long before -
why wouldn't I? I began to take up starwars MUDS as well as
DBZ ones.
RP. The two letters that would soon change my life - and
experince in MUD'ing. I had yet to experience any though.
Being on Dragonball Z world, I found an RP session, and I
decided to see what it was all about. (See my RP section).
Finding that I greatly loved RP - I did it on MUD's from then
on in. I found though - that MUD's themselves were not soothing
my tastes. I was going into grade 10, and my imagination was
beginning to broaden. It is then when I discovered MUSH, MUX.
Unlike MUDs, MUSH and MUX are RP only. There are NO battle
systems. You RP the battle, RP everything. I joined my first
MUX; the Zelda one (forget its name) and got myself a Feature
Character (a character that is actually in the game). She
was Ruto. I RP'd as much as I could there - but found the
playerbase was too small to RP often. I twindled on different
codes - occasionally going back to Dragonball Z world, RPing
there as much I could- back to DB Saga.. Looking for an answer.
Before I knew it, I was in grade 11 and Episode 2, Attack
of the clones was released. I fell in love with Star wars
all over again.
I had never thought of going to a starwars MUSH or MUX -
and I did go to a few. I finally found a home though in Rise
of the Sith. A brilliant MUX - with lovely people and a great
staff to talk to. Then, christmas in 2002 came and I got Lord
of the Rings video! I fell in love with this as well, and
I saw the Two Towers not long after it came out. Already,
when I looked it up there were a few Lord of the Rings MUD's,
MUX's, and MUSH's. I soon found Elendor - and stuck with that.
So that brings me to where I am now. I have basically given
up on MUDs, with only a few seeing my appearence, such as
Dragonball z World, and DB saga. Occasionally, I also build
on a few different thigns. I now consider myself above average
with building.
