Threshold -> Armageddon

Ancient Anguish -> Artic -> Crescent City (wod mush) -> Arm

I mudded, wanted RP, so I mushed, but I missed/wanted code, so I found Arm.

Was odd, I remember searching alta vista (oh yes, alta vista) for "mud mush" "role play mud" because the term rpi or rpmud was foreign to me.

I had like 3 characters rejected before they finally let me play and then I was probably the biggest retarded n00b we have ever seen, but in the end it was worth it.

Dragonrealms>New Moon> Harshlands>Forever's End Mud>Arctic>Armageddon>Forever's End Mud 2>Shadows of Isildur>Accursed Lands

There's quite a few others.. but these have been the most significant..

Anonymous:  I mean... the concept of making one class completely dominating, and able to crush any other class after 5 days of power-playing, seems ridiculous to me.

The Void -> PKmud -> Armageddon -> World of Warcraft -> back to Arm

There was one before The Void that introduced me to mudding when I was in High School but I forget the name.. The Void is where I really got to love the whole text-based genre and from there I went to PKmud after The Void went through its own personal meltdown. PKmud was fun because it was simply that, PKing. You pick your class and boom there's a countdown and just like laser-tag you run around and eliminate people. It was there that I met some Arm'ers and got pulled into the game that would claim me forever more... I got quickly addicted to World of Warcraft but I missed the Roleplaying... To me, this is a testimonial to the quality of Armageddon that I would choose a text-based environment rather than the graphical one of WoW. Then again maybe it's like switching from Crack to Heroin and back to Crack. I don't know.

Darkness 'n' Despair -> Sojourn / Toril -> Threshold -> Armageddon

Took me a few years (and some wasted cash thank you Threshold) to find my home but I definitely won't be moving on.

I've played so many muds I forget which was my first.  I came here from Distant Lands, though.  It had RP...but they also allowed people to not be in RP.  Those in character and out of character are unable to interact with each other, and you can only kill people when both you and them are in character.  Not permadeath, though.  Screw it.

Imperial Diku (1992 onwards) - > JediMUD (1994 onwards) - > Armageddon (last 6 years)

In between I tried GrimneMUD, AlexMUD, Shattered Realms, Callisti and lotsa other hack n slash muds.

MUME (warlorded on it, therefore you should all fear my PK skills!) ---> Arm

Played bits and pieces of MUDs in between but these were only two that ever held my attention.

Rivers of MUD (3.5 years, also staffed a bit) -> Realms of Discordia [Chaos Ascending] (2 years) -> Armageddon (add a month to GDB join date).

I visited a few other MUDs, but didn't really stay for more than a week.  I've been to Savage Wars, which never really opened, stayed for a while in the Builder's Academy, learned the horrors of dastardly older players in Abbotoir, and fooled around in Edge of Midnight. :P

Dragonrealms (for seven years, including some pay to play, *shudders*) --> Armageddon

I was drawn to arma by perma-death and enforced roleplay. I came to love the atmosphere and brutality.

Over the past few years, i've tried a few different muds but they're all icky in my opinion for varying reasons.

Threshold->Darke and various Darke offshoots->Armageddon
ack to retirement for the school year.

Some LP Muds long forgotten --> Some DIKU Muds long forgotton --> Arctic (1993ish)--> Armageddon (1994ish) --> Arctic /Armaggedon

I've tried hundreds of muds in the last forteen years or so.  Only stuck with two.  Was an active Overlord on Arctic for a few years.

Furcadia *axes head*  I actually .. accidentally started playing that.  And my god, I figured out I am never to be a furry.  I spent most of my time on one server, a vampiric rat who was horribly racist, and would kill any other furry who walked in (because who the hell is gonna play a rat)  So yeah, I got banned from quite a few servers pulling stunts like that.  I still do remember the mini fighting game with the guns where the dogs in trench coats chased eachother around.  Jesus christ that was cheesy, what a waste of time.

(And hopefully in five years I'm not saying the same thing about arm)
