About JediMUD

JediMUD started in the early '90s as a Diku/Circle derivative and has been running ever since — with breaks measured in years, not minutes. The codebase has been heavily modified, ported to TBAMUD, given full OLC + DG trigger support, and migrated from flat playerfiles to SQL.

Today the game features:

A D20-style class/race/feat/spell system
Multiple remort cycles — base → epic → prestige paths
Live AI NPC dialogue for some social mobs
Web companion site with leaderboards, achievements, profile pages
MSP sound support if your client wants ambient audio cues

AustinPowers (Cunning) is JediMUD's active coder. The IMM staff is small but consistent; bug reports and zone contributions are very welcome.

-:Will JediMUD be around in another 25 years? While VR and mobile applications have outshone OG text-based RPGs, a hard-core band of die-hards continue to support their respective MOOs,  MUSHes, Dikus, Circles and LPMUDs.
+== Browse the wiki ==
-:It all started back in the late sixties with a little game written by a spelunking-pair of computer scientists called "ADVENTURE" or The Colossal Cave.  JediMUD continues that tradition today, as we are still running after almost 40 years, and feature an active coder, zone implementors, and a small staff of caring IMMs.

-:''AustinPowers'' (Cunning) is JediMUD's active coder/implementor.  He has been providing bug fixes and adding functionality in sporadic minor releases since Doc stepped down as CIMP in 2008.  The heavily modified code (which Rasmussen later codified into CircleMUD) has been successfully ported to TBAMUD, the latest CircleMUD version.  OLC and Oasis_dg trigger support has been fully implemented.

-=== The Future===
+== Featured ==
-:JediMUD offers more than level-gain experience botting or elite equipment camping:  it offers significant context in the history of multi-user gaming,  what was once the first stop in the quick progression from mainframe text gaming to mobile app game development. The community is still intact, as many of the oldest players still frequent the Midgaard Temple.

-:New races, zones, quests, procs, equipment and spells continue to be implemented and flat data files (including playerfiles) have been  converted to SQL data structures.  User preferences, smart prompts, dynamic data collection and other advances have improved playability and immersion.
