18 years, reading "developing" for "playing" as necessary.

The actual first one I ever logged onto, I believe was something called Apocalypse II, a horrid stock Diku. The first one that I didn't quit in disgust after a short visit was Holy Mission.

Lost Souls, my MUD. My favorite MUD that I never developed for was Cyberworld.

Technically, since stock Dikus dominate the field numerically, the most popular language is C. All LPMuds, by definition, use LPC, though, and since I run an LPMud that's what I use.

I don't play MUDs any more, I code them.

Why I code MUDs rather than graphical games... I suppose it's largely because I want to spend my time on building a world model rather than on trying to figure out how to blit a bitmap onto a display surface twelve picoseconds faster.

As my account here indicates, I would be Chaos of Lost Souls.
