14 MUD p3 (Tolkien theme games)

The Lord of the Rings MUSH
Year: Opened 1993, closed 1994
IP address: 140.142.113.52 4201
Type: MUSH
Comment: This MUSH was completely dedicated to Tolkien. There are plans
to start two new MUSHes based on this one; one with the same theme
but better coded and one based on the fourth age (probably to be
called The Lord of the Rings MUSH II).

Abyss
Version: IV
IP address: 129.89.68.89 4000
Comment: Currently temporarily closed.

Quovadis
Year: Tolkien area opened 1994, MUD closed 1995
Type: LP MUD
Comment: The larger of the Tolkien areas from Nanny MUD was implemented
on this MUD, which was running in Switzerland, as well.

Mirkwood
Author: JellO, Tomasin (Isengard), Gerrold (Midgaard Academy), et al.
Year: 1995
IP address: 141.142.222.42 4000
Name address: haystack.ncsa.uiuc.edu 4000
Type: ROM
Comment: Mirkwood, in spite of its name, is not only based on Tolkien.
Beginners, however, should pass through the Academy of Midgaard,
which contains many references to Middle Earth. There are also
Moria, Isengard and Shire areas. Other areas are planned for the
future, such as Helm's Deep, Mordor and the Lonely Mountain.

Night's Keep
Year: Not yet officially opened at the time of writing
IP address: 35.8.8.177 7777
Name address: archive.egr.msu.edu 7777
Type: LP MUD
Comment: Night's Keep will be mostly based on Tolkien's world. Because
of problems with finding someone to code the player classes, the
opening of it has been postponed indefinitely. If you know LPC and
would like to help, contact nk@roundtable.msu.edu.

Aurora
Year: Not yet officially opened at the time of writing
IP address: 156.35.41.20 3000
Name address: trono.etsiig.uniovi.es 3000
Type: LP MUD
Comment: A MUD in the building stages with a Middle Earth area among a
few others. It is currently only open for playertesting.

MEFA Mush
Year: Not yet officially opened at the time of writing
IP address: 128.2.22.19 6969
Name address: envirolink2.envirolink.org 6969
Type: MUSH
Comment: MEFA Mush means Middle Earth Fifth Age MUSH, and it is a
totally spaced-out (literally) attempt to mix Fantasy with Science
Fiction. It is set 5,000 years after Tolkien's trilogy, and the
player may face such things as RoboHobbits and CyberOrcs. It now
accepts player registrations.

The Two Towers
http://t2tmud.org
telnet://t2tmud.org:9999
IP address: 69.31.40.34 9999
