MUD?
« on: November 20, 2012, 03:04:53 AM »
So, has anyone thought about setting up a CoH MUD? it would at least give us a place to Rp and live until Plan Z or other plans could come together....

You have a MUD/MOO/MUSH/etc framework in mind?

Not really.. was just chatting with friends .. trying to come up with how to save some of the RP relationships and stories.. and then thought.. well.. we could put it in a MUD/MUSH/MOO... we know the world layout, the setting, backstory, etc... why not?

Intellectual property issues come to mind. If you base any part of your story on characters and setting unique to the CoX game that spells trouble. And the world layout is part of that property.

They can C&D for any reason. Making money is not in the picture. Most don't because they like their fans. If they don't, and do things to treat them with disrespect, well...

In this case, cease and desist means move the server.  Play 6 more months until they track you down again, rinse and repeat.

For what it's worth, I used to be involved with a CoH fan blog that received a C&D letter from NCSoft. We ignored it, the ISP junked it because they didn't believe it to be sent in good faith. NCSoft didn't follow up.

Might be different for a MUD. YMMV.

I was planning on a MUD, but needed to find one which can run Python code. That way can nail down the mechanics for Plan Z in another environment. (Python for some major coding areas)

MUSHes still exist there's a number of them out there where they focus on story. Some have coded combat but it's not really set up in a MMORPG sense. Though a COH mush would be interesting to RP on and lets face it it's a MUSH they are kinda hard to notice in general. They tend to be left alone really. AS I got into COH from a mush in the first place.

MUSH = Multi User Shared Hallucination.
Oldest (and still running) TinyTIM.
I remade a character a while back but support is blah anymore since the mods have begun to drift to other things.

Does this mean someone may do a COH one? I'd be SO happy if they did!

Yep that'd be the one... if I recall people were begging do it and were disappointed it was only an april fool's joke.  If someone goes ahead with it I do have my legit copy of zMUD ready and waiting
