Nanvaent
Nanvaent, or NANVAENT, is a MUD based in the UK. Stylistically it is Medieval or Tolkienesque. It is one of the longest-running LPMuds.
Overview
Nanvaent's combat system is similar to that seen in many role-playing games, both on- and off-line. The game requires the player to collect experience points (known as 'xp') through either combat or completion of quests. This allows the player to advance their character's skills. Nanvaent probably contains hundreds of thousands of game locations (known as 'rooms'), although it is impossible to achieve a definitive count. Nanvaent also offers interaction between multiple players, creating a sociable society and the ability to fight as a team as well as independently.
History
Nanvaent was created in LPMud-form in February 1991 but has its origins in VaxMUD. Its name is an acronym that stands for 'Not AberMUD, Not VaxMUD, And Especially Not TinyMUD'.
Originally set up as an LPMud, the first administrators were Roger "Anjou" Dubar, "Aragorn" and "Edacom". A union was formed between Nanvaent and VaxMUD, a MUD played by the Nanvaent administrators and run by another MUDder called "Bill". Realising the potential of LPMud, code and players were converted to the LPMud codebase, sometimes with the help of Lars Pensjö, the eponymous creator of LPMud. Nanvaent, therefore, is able to trace its roots into the age of the white-coat operators. In keeping with this background, during some of its earlier years, logins to Nanvaent were restricted to between 5 PM and 9 AM GMT.
