Re: Delerak's MUD Vlogs

Interesting to hear thoughts on SoI.

Sad how the game's ended up, and incredibly depressing how much history was lost due to bad record keeping, backup management, etc.

I'd love to just get a chance to walk through the world with everything fully intact again.

I'll say that after several years, and having run a MUD myself, Kite gets nowhere near enough credit for how much stability he brought to SOI. He had issues, and Rhubarb was a totally different story, but he's probably one of the most competent head admins the game ever had- and looking at it's current state, he was definitely the right person to be running it.

Also: Crazy to think that SoI has actually been defunct for over 5 years now. The new iteration is only SoI in name, and by the fact that it runs a derivative of the original engine, and is based in middle-earth.
