Winnie managed to slay the dragon - without having a stupid death in the process! (it was absolutely terrifying, but I might try it again, there's still quite a few things I need to explore on the dragon's island :p)
To be honest with you, I have no idea. It looks like the .com instance (the Canadian one) went free in 2006, but I have no idea when the .co.uk instance went free. And honestly I have no idea how long it takes Foddy (the guy who runs the .co.uk instance) to respond to emails, so your best bet might be to ask one of the Wizzes for a hand with that.
I'll be sure to do that sometime cuz now I'm very curious. I wonder if the rise in activity in 2012 was due to that...
clarified some of the instructions for how to start playing MUD2 (but, again, still planning on completely overhauling this page to make it look Elizabethan Tearoom-esque)
how does a complete newbie to MUDs get started in 2024? asking for myself of course
Well, if you want to hop in and check out MUD2, there's the aforementioned in-browser client (to actually play MUD2 for realsies, and not as a guest, you'll need to go to http://www.mudii.co.uk (http, not https) to make an account (again, completely free)). For further instructions, see https://friday-girl.neocities.org/mud2/
What happened??
Repeat of the same procedure I had at the start of October but now on my other lung (to safeguard that one from the laws of physics as well) and yeah still not a very fun experience.
hope it goes smoothly!!!
