Wow! The front page shows a list of updates being made to the game. Lots of recent changes.

Then I clicked into the MUD, just to have a look, and the intro page said "celebrating 31 years online!"

It's cool to come across software that's both historical and current!

t2tmud admin here - We have an active development team and recently released a new huge quest area expansion in Moria.

If you're interested and want to get game updates, or just to share LotR related memes, we have a Discord, Facebook group, and newsletter that goes out at least once a year.

Newsletter signup is on the website. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/t2tmud The link to the Discord can be found in the game by typing "help social media", after you complete the tutorial of course!

It's been a really interesting exercise trying to develop content that's more modern, but for this sort of environment. Lately I've been working on procedurally-generated dungeons (for the sake of replayability) and seeing where we can integrate LLMs into our creative process. In some ways LLMs are great, but it's always pretty obvious a description for something was written by an LLM. If nothing else, it's a nice starting point for that sort of work.
