Growing up, one of my best friends parents set us up with a terminal MUD connection. Basically an old school, text based only MMO. You had to type in your commands, “look north”, “walk east”, “attack <enemy name>”. I was able to make a Sayian character, walk around town and Kamehameha my foes. I recall finding Smurf village and getting killed many times by Papa Smurf.
I wish I remembered what server it was or if any even exist any more.

I played a MUD based around the combat school in Ender’s Game. That was amazing to my 2002 brain.
I remember on igorMUD we had inter Igor ballistic aardvarks
MUDs and MOOs were quite fun. I played at University as I didn’t have internet at home then, only BBSes
I’ve been running one of these since 2009, it’s a ton of fun. No saiyans or smurfs though
How can I get started? I have a full homelab ready for hosting one!!
Mine is self written, but there are engines out there you can get and customize. I hear good things about Evennia
That’s awesome, thanks man. Yet another thing to add to the never ending list!
