NannyMUD is a MUD, a text-based online role-playing game, founded in 1990,[1] making it one of the longest-running online games. It is hosted by Lysator, the computer club of Linköping University in Sweden.[2]

Characteristics[edit]

The game is set in a medieval fantasy world.[3] Typically of MUDs, it has a natural-language-like control system that accepts commands like get bottle and drink milk.[4]

History[edit]

Around April 20, 1990, having played and enjoyed Genesis LPMud, Mats Persson downloaded LPMud version 1.1.2 and set up his own MUD. In May, after a series of relocations from one host system to another, the MUD was hosted on nanny.lysator.liu.se, and Persson accepted a suggestion to name it NannyMUD, in honor of both the host system and "my grandmother who refused to understand anything about computers".[1] It is at this point that NannyMUD became a project of Lysator.[1]

Early wizards included Thomas "Padrone" Padron-McCarthy, a prolific contributor to the LPMud community.[1]

Technical infrastructure[edit]

NannyMUD runs on a local fork of the LPMud 3.1.2 driver, called "NannyMOS". Its mudlib was once based on the LPMud 2.4.5 mudlib, but ongoing development has removed all trace of that system.[5]

Influence[edit]

Fredrik "Profezzorn" Hübinette, creator of the LPC-inspired Pike programming language, was a long-time contributor to NannyMUD.[5][6]
