Nilgiri, the Forgotten World

Many adventurers who just want a basic and fun MUD without all the hassle of having to learn too much have found a home at Nilgiri the Forgotten World.

Enter the mythopia of Nilgiri: a medieval fantasy world built into a neo-classic MUD engine. The Forgotten World and its immortals have a long history together since the dawn of DikuMUD in 1991. We have a unique perspective of online gaming that few other MUDs can claim.

Originally a DikuMUD class game based on Sequent code, Nilgiri has recently been completely rewritten from the bottom up to answer the difficult problems of an aging MUD world. We had to! We have been around over 20 years and we want to be around for a lot more.

Professional Software engineers by day and long time gamers by night, our Implementors and friendly staff are unequally qualified to tackle the challenge of the hum-drum hamster wheel of gaming, the sticky social issues of MUD, and the evolving problems of economics in order to build a fluid and organic world that will continue to grow, thrive, challenge and engage adventure seekers of all kinds for many generations.

If you are tired of games closing up shop, changing features too much, or games just too full of rules and politics then Nilgiri is the world for you.
