If we are talking MUDs, I have to plug the Discworld MUD, https://discworld.atuin.net/lpc/

I spent a lot of time on there growing up. Based on the copious writings of Terry Pratchett, it's full of whimsy and humor but also quite addicting and deep gameplay.

It seems to have a pretty active player base, too.

That's weird, I don't think I've ever been on there before but it says "Welcome Mishra", linking to https://discworld.starturtle.net/lpc/secure/finger.c?player=.... A cookie is set with name User and value "mishra-1".

Is this some kind of session leaking or does it automatically generate a user for you?

the former. the website is served up by the MUD itself so it's a little... quirky... sometimes.
warms my heart that discworld is still being kept alive by fans. i wonder how the fandom can prosper if not grow. TP is still underappreciated by so many, and in many ways timeless bc of the fantasy element.
