Was looking back over things and saw this post - a subsequent review of the referred to Wikipedia page revealed that we need a "WoTMUD" Wikipedia page to refer to from the listing. So, before diving in - what information
needs to be included on a Wikipedia page about WoTMUD. I suspect there are others out there who can fill out something but at least we need:
Start date: (1993)
Game address: wotmud.org:2224
Theme: Based upon the world of the
Wheel of Time books by the late James Oliver Rigney Jr. under the pen-name of
Robert Jordan - set around ten years before the time of the Prequel "
New Spring" and thus thirty of the main sequence. The creators had the written permission of the author to use the world and lesser characters from the Novels; this perhaps is one factor that has permitted the MUD to persist in comparison to some based on the work of other Authors' who have been forced to close for using copyrighted material {example needed?}.
Author: I can refer to the immortals by their in-game names but are the unwashed public allowed to know just who "Flash" is?
Codebase: Private derivative of Circle code which itself came from Diku (this of course also requires the MUD to be free to play).
Language/Character-set: American English
On-line Forums: I think
we know where they are at...
History:
(needs to include the 2014 downtime)
Race/Character/Clans:
Light:
Dark:
Seanchan:
Game differences from the Book World...
...
What else would need to be entered in a
collaborative creation and editing of a WoTMUD Wikipedia page - remembering that it needs to try to be an impartial "encyclopaedic" entity!
