Individual rooms in the game can be quite memorable. Finding things in the world… more difficult. The mechanics of simply getting into the game are easy. So getting to the TorilMUD is as easy as typing in: telnet 9999 The command line interface isn’t dead, it isn’t even resting yet. I use Cygwin every day from my Windows box at work to log into our linux servers to run installs, grab logs, and what not.
And to get those details I would have to return to TorilMUD and visit the zone, walk through the rooms, and rediscover the clues left for us.Īctually logging in wasn’t a big deal. It is often the little things that trigger more memories and add depth to a tale. I could sketch a basic outline of the zone, the role it played for us as young elves on Evermeet, early attempts to crack into what the zone really was, and the eventual successful discovery of what the place was really about.īut, for me, a story like that needs details. Memory is fleeting and it has been more than a decade since I probably did anything in that zone. The request set me on a path again, but I did not have enough information. A strange but essential part of the Leuthilspar Tales series, I have meant to get to that for some time. Xyd, who got me into TorilMUD back in 1993 asked when I was going to post about the zone known as the Elemental Glades. Posting something from my long, ongoing series of memories about TorilMUD always brings out a few of the usual suspects, and my tale of the economy of Waterdeep was no exception.
