I have converted a MUD world to HTML.
Hi,
I'm the former head coder of the Lands of Aethar, a SMAUG which ran 1994 to 2009. When it shut down, I used the data files to generate a snapshot of the world and put that up as HTML.
The address is:
I'm hoping that what this will do is encourage other MUD developers to embrace HTTP more. As long as we require people to use telnet clients, our potential players will be massively cut down. The Lands of Aethar isn't a full living breathing MUD, it's just a frozen ghost, but I hope by putting it up on HTTP like this, I'll at least give the non-telnet world a little more exposure to these wonderful old games.
