Welcome to the JediMUD Wiki
Adding to JediMUD's ever-expanding footprint on the web, we've created this wiki to help new and returning players alike. We hope that those veteran players with an intimate understanding of the game will continue to pass on their expertise to the next generation of text role-playing gamers.
Will JediMUD be around in another 25 years? It's a long shot, as platform, handheld and mobile applications have all but killed the text RPG.
What's Happening?
- AustinPowers (Cunning), is JediMUD's only active coder/implementor. He has been providing bug fixes and adding functionality in sporadic minor releases since Doc stepped down as CIMP in 2008. JediMUD currently resides with DreamHost, a cloud-based web hosting service.
The Future
- Though their attendance numbers are down precipitously from mid-90s highs, text MUDs are here to stay. Creativity comes in many forms, and not all must be visual to gain traction with those who love the genre. Text MUDding, especially JediMUD, offers more than simple experience or equipment: it offers signiificant 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 Midgaard Temple.
