However Sceptre of Goth also inspired various other muds, such as "Swords of Chaos" (which went commercial in 1985, and I believe is still running today) and "Quest for Mordor" (developed in 1988, the author later joined Arenanet, which developed Guild Wars). The Mordor codebase is directly derived from Quest for Mordor, and TMS lists 10 such muds (although at least 1 of those appears to actually be Diku based).

A tiny branch it may be, but SoG wasn't entirely an evolutionary dead end.
