In that case, you might might like to insert the fact that on 2nd December 1999
CompuServe stopped running MUD1 (in its 13th year of operation). We were
given a whole 0 days notice.
Oh, while I'm on the subject, the 1978 bit of the timeline says that early MUD
developers never played AD&D. In my case, that's only true because AD&D wasn't
out yet; I had played D&D quite a bit in 1976-8. The only real impact it made
on
MUD1 was the "levels" system, though, which I thought was a neat way to give
players short-to-medium term goals. Roy Trubshaw knew about D&D and may
have tried it once or twice, but I don't think he ever dived in deeply; he
certainly
never designed his own dungeons.
