BatMUD continuously online for 35y

Helsinki, Finland April, 2024

BatMUD has been continuously online for 35 years.

BatMUD is one of the oldest running (with an active playerbase, 137 players online at the writing of this) MUDs out there. Think about text-based high medieval fantasy, RPG not enforced. It was established exactly 35 years ago Today, on the 14th of April in 1990 at the Helsinki University of Technology's Computer Science department.

Today, BatMUD is running in its own co-location space with Internet connectivity from multiple providers' and fully redundant network equipment & server hardware, owned by its guardian organization (B.A.T. ry) that has kept and will keep BatMUD running for years to come.

BatMUD also features its own "graphically enhanced" game client, which is available on Steam.

We host (and also our players organize themselves) multiple community meet-ups each year! We've held meetings across the globe (e.g. 2023 in Las Vegas, NV and Campcon in Clay City, IN. The next ones in addition to our 35th anniversary gala in Helsinki, Finland being held are: a Midnight Sun meet-up at a remote cottage on the shore of Europe's largest wilderness lake, in northernmost Lapland in June, 2025 and a more comely Reindeer convention at Luosto fjell in September, 2025.

Players (existing and new) can freely utilize the newbie-channel to ask questions from our helpful community (don't be a stranger). Even though we fully appreciate that you have your preferred MUD which you are a patron to, we'd also love to see you on BatMUD.

Double experience points without exp tune for all players is up until Tuesday noon (EET/Finnish).

Come, become a newbie once again.
