Oh wow! Didn’t expect to see this piece of my childhood on the front page!

I used to spend hours on telnet playing this game with my friend. What a fun blast to the past!

Pretty amazing that this is still around. I used to be active on Elendor MUSH, but as far as I know it's been dead for years - I poke my head in once every year or two and there are always 0 players online.
Is the server available anywhere or is that too lost to the sands of time?

Sucks when MUD servers eventually shutdown and all of it is lost forever. I’ve found a few on github though and have been archiving as many as I can find.

Archiving is good; all of these games contain thousands of hours of creative writing, and it would be a huge loss if they were all lost to time.

I hope you and others are archiving them, so that at the very least they would remain available in a readonly fashion.

Same. Spent a lot of time in Bree. Haven't been on in over a decade.
