Another MUD (and MUX) alumni here, used to play a lot of 3 Kingdoms ( still up at http://3k.org/ ) using TinTin ( https://tintin.mudhalla.net/ ) and TinyFugue ( http://tinyfugue.sourceforge.net/ ) as clients. Also played lots of MUX, specifically BattleTech 3065 ( still up at http://btmux.com/ ).

Once the graphical MMORPG came out and folks started to have broadband and their own computers MUD/MUX usage dropped a ton. The MUD/MUX games were much better setup to play from your shell account on your university lab systems at the time. Even today I'm bummed a MMORPG BattleTech never came out that rivaled the 3065 MUX experience.

I too was on btech 3065 back in the day! Good memories of hanging out with people from all over the world. My dad got really mad when I hogged the phone line for hours.
