Ragnarök (MUD), Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ragnarök is a MUD, a text-based multiplayer role-playing game. It was started in 1992 and housed on a server in Portland, Oregon. Ragnarök was intended to be themed in a world and time similar to Medieval Europe, but not actually intended to be set in any known land. As a result of development latitude given to younger creators of the game by the administration, many deviations from this intended theme have been produced, explained away by the lack of limitations of "magic" required to create areas. The main theme (as much as the MUD has a central theme) was inspired by The Compleat Enchanter by L. Sprague de Camp. One of the short stories in that book, The Roaring Trumpet, tells of the adventures of Harold Shea who lands unexpectedly in the middle of the time of Ragnarök in old Norse mythology. Klive, one of the original implementors of this MUD, found the idea of Norse myth to be a fascinating fantasy game setting.
