Re: Welcome back to me!
Actually the name came from a single-player game called "Dungeon".
Relabelling has been attempted many times before, but I've only seen it succeed twice. The first was when the TinyMUD community decided they no longer wanted to refer to their games as "MUDs", and the second was when the graphical muds decided to call themselves MMORPGs. Rather than bringing in more people, however, they caused schisms that continue to split the community to this day.
Why would new people visit Top Mud sites or The Mudconnector if they were looking for a game that didn't use the term "MUD"?
I did a quick search, and it seems that at least one of your players uses (or is interested in using) a , a , a , a and a .
Personally I'm pretty old school too - I usually just use my cygwin client. But I think it's pretty cool to see the newer generation of player using more advanced clients, and if it makes their experience in my mud more enjoyable then I'm all in favour of it.
