Eve Online (Photo credit: Wikipedia) The MUD Connector listing for Valerion was approved today.  I expect this to bring an initial surge of  traffic, while Valerion sits atop the newly listed MUDs list.

Introduction

The Mud Connector's logo (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Welcome to my new Blog about MUD Gaming.  Here I will be reviewing MUDs that I play, and discussing various topics related to MUD Gaming, retro Gaming, programming, game design, and whatever else comes to mind.  Since This is not a professional blog, I plan to keep things pretty informal here. I have been playing MUDs since the mid 90s.  I started playing MUDs at a time when...
