Greetings

[Faetten al’Lathe]

Greetings Tar Valon. I am Faetten al'Lathe, a take on a character I used to play on the Broken Seals mud. I have read and loved the books in years past. Since recently watching the Amazon Prime series I have started going through the books again. I was once a member here many, many years ago and am glad to be back. The Forum and Library are great sources of information that I have been revisiting while reading. Thank you again for having me in here in Tar Valon.

Welcome back Faetten!

A MUDer! I used to religiously play a mud up until about 2013. I stopped for multiple reasons but nice to see others still exist! Do you still play any?

No, I haven't played in MUDs in over 14 years.

So...I've kind of been wondering this...what does "MUD" mean? I'm a long-time roleplayer, and I have no idea.

 

[Melorea al'Taehor]

Its like... an MMO before graphics became a thing. Its like having a character in a book, and every other character is the book has a different writer. You can give your character as much or as little personality as your imagination can handle, depending on how you write them. Then set them free on a world full of monsters (or whatever evil the particular game has) and other players who you can be aligned with or against depending on the role you have or alliances you form.

Many people create characters in these worlds that develop with other people's characters over many years. The lack of graphics can be seen as a negative or incredibly freeing because the world is limited only by what people can create via text.

(Can you tell I loved it?)

There are still some active MUDs out there but I personally had to stop as it was far to addictive but also the one I was on grew very toxic.

Edit to add that MUD is the acronym for multi user domain
