13 MUD p2 (Tolkien theme games)

DikuMUD
Author: Poohbear
Comment: Diku is not a mud, per se. It is a type of MUD (see for
example MUME below). Most versions of DikuMUD, as well as other
types of MUD which are based on Diku, are distributed with one
Tolkien area built into them. That area is called The Shire. Most
of these MUDs also have an area called Moria, but that is only
very loosely based on Tolkien. Among the MUDs that have these
areas are Mozart MUD, Mirkwood and (probably) Abyss (see below
for the addresses of these).

Comment: MUME is set between "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings".
It takes a lot of inspiration from ICE's Middle Earth Roleplaying
game. Only a few areas are open, but those that are open are very
detailed. The addresses above may change. Telnet to 128.178.77.5
4242 to get info on current servers. MUME is closed weekdays 9am
