That was the golden age! - I remember being really jazzed after upgrading from to a 14400 baud modem. But fiddling with the ATDT strings was such a pain in th <NO CARRIER>

Same here. Not sure when I left...but I think it was right around the time Sherri/Slack had a sh!tfit.

I was heavy into Death's Domain in the early 90s, as well as the online chess game server hosted at my university (coot.lcs.mit.edu).

I played on Barren Realms for a couple of years, from around '94-'96.

and before that, Sands of Time which later became Heaven7, packed as the heaven7 mudlib.

(Zombiemud and retromud were spinoffs of batmud.)

Haha I played ZombieMud from like 1992-1995. Tried batmud but didn't get into it.

was hooked on this summer of 1998 or 1999.. i played that shit so much i have an image of the game map in my head and i could hit nwwwessnenwewenwnsnws and get to anywhere i want

Me too, I played for a few years starting in 1997 on my main character of the same name (Savarak). Was once a member of Dragonslayers, but was kicked out cuz a friend that i shared one of my weaker Avatars(to help his own char level) stole some girth or something from the community chest of stuff, and since it was considered one of my characters, they booted me.

I had a bunch of clan stuff too near the end. I kept logging in for the next few years to keep from autodeleting but I missed it by a few days once and all 12 of my Avatars with all the full gear went poof

I used to group them to take on, ALONE, mobs like Zeus(several dozen times)... Rez(once)... Draco(many many times, I think it was to sac the banner to get something rare, forget what it was now, hehe)... Froggy(many many times)... it got a LOT harder when they added some Orb thing that attacked grouped chars...

I played one this summer. It was a pretty good time once I got the hang of it.

Not a dungeon, but did anyone else play MegaWars 3?

Played MajorMUD and Lunatix back in 1995-1997.
I think the closest that any MMORPG came to MUDs was Ultima Online, just after it was first released.
Had many of the features that made muds great, Anything on your body was dropped when you died. No safe zones except towns. Stat loss on death. Absolutely unballanced (Tank Mages anyone).
