Hello,
I am creating a new MOO. If you are interested in building or beta testing, please direct your telnet/moo client of choice to billkd.tk port 1234. See you there!

For all of you that had login issues starting about 15:45 eastern, I fixed them and we’re back. Also, just to clear up confusion, the MOO isn’t a webpage. If anyone has creation issues, let me know on the forum, type @feedback in game, or write me a monomial. If it’s urgent, type assist in game.

We have changed our hostname to billkd.jumpingcrab.com please update your MUD/MOO client to reflect this change.

What codebase are you using and how accessible is it? Is it for windows?

Post 7 by billdengler (Generic Zoner) on Thursday, 19-Jan-2012 20:39:28

Telnet system
Gamma MOO 1.8.2g5pre http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/gammamoo

You can play and build on windows. As far as running a server, obviously, windows wouldn't be involved.

Great. How accessible is it? Will it work with JFW?

Post 9 by billdengler (Generic Zoner) on Saturday, 21-Jan-2012 16:44:04

Of course it is, it's a MOO. Mushclient is an excelent client if your on Windows. A portable version with all the accessibility plugins you'll need can be found here

have you played a MUD before?

I love muds. I have always wanted to make a mud. So I've been looking at your codebase and think it would be a good choice. Do I need an actual mainframe to create one?

Post 11 by billdengler (Generic Zoner) on Saturday, 21-Jan-2012 22:19:54

My advice to you is to build on Space Zone first before you dive into creating a server of your own. I am preparing a special version of mush client for Space Zone with support for screen readers as well as a soundpack.

Cool! Rock on and best of luck! I'm using alteraeon version of mushclient. So screen reader support is already added. I've really got to connect today and see what this space zone thing is.

why do you keep changing your address.
surely it's confusing to all your players keep changing it

Post 15 by billdengler (Generic Zoner) on Sunday, 22-Jan-2012 13:17:04

Sorry about all the address changes. We had some issues with previous DNS providers and I had to change the address to compensate. Sorry for the changes. We're not expected to change connection info again.

it seems that no usernames are available to choose to create an account, or that part of the code isn't working propperly.

Post 20 by billdengler (Generic Zoner) on Saturday, 04-Feb-2012 11:14:25

Known issue. I'll create an account for you.

Post 21 by rat (star trek rules!) on Saturday, 04-Feb-2012 14:34:52

if that's a known issue you won't get many players

Post 22 by billdengler (Generic Zoner) on Saturday, 04-Feb-2012 19:12:30

Issues have been fixed, and your account has been created. PM of login and password will be sent.

Post 23 by billdengler (Generic Zoner) on Saturday, 04-Feb-2012 20:20:37

For everyone having account creation issues, $player_db in it's infinite wisdom decided to cause issues. However, a simple @rmverb did the trick and $player_db is back in working order. Or, was it more than a simple @rmverb? Oh well, reguardless, everything is working again.
