Reborn
After what has seemed like and age, TerraMUD (tMUX) is once more.
For those who are unaware, originally TerraMUD was “hidden” on a school server, back when they were a thing. Sadly the school had an IT review, instigated and carried out by an outsourcing company who – surprise, surprise – recommended that everything was outsourced. This meant that ALL of the local services of the college (state of the art at the time) were dismantled and replaced with less bespoke solutions that almost, but not entirely, did nearly nothing like the services they were designed to replace.
With the change went a HUGE collection of educational innovation, resources and services – that is progress…. I guess. tMUX was one of many victims of the apocalypse our school is still coping with.
Thanks to the kind intervention of Ado (Adrian Malisano) and Mazil (Michael Smith), tMUX is now hosted on a server not affiliated with the school, open once again to players.
After some farting around, fucking stuff up then getting technical support, I have managed to get some DNS entries to make access simpler, so tmux.wonko.info and terramud.wonko.info now point to Ado’s server, port 4042 is the gateway for a glorious text-only telnet interface.
telnet:tmux.wonko.info:4042
Try it, it is so deliciously nerdy old school and just plain cool
