Re: Your first MUD?
If it counts, my first would have been Island of Kesmai on CompuServe around 1987. The usual story about The Bill applies.
Otherwise, it was a stock Diku called either Armageddon II or Apocalypse II, in 1992. Beastly fidos and that. It was a collective experiment with some other college freshmen, and about half of them immediately said, "God, MUDs are stupid" and took off. The rest of us landed on Holy Mission, which was okay. I played that for a while, and a smidge of other places, but my first great love was Cyberworld. Then a friend I was introducing to MUDs randomly picked Lost Souls out of a mudlist, and the rest is history, geography, and a bit of epistemology.
