No more Dark Rifts for me

I had a craptastic conversation with one of the admin on Dark Rifts a couple of days ago the end result being that I decided to cut my losses and leave. They're not going in directions I'm interested in and I don't really have time for it anyhow.

Between all the mud projects I've worked on, I've probably written a couple hundred thousand lines of code in Java, Python, C and ending with LPC over the course of the last 7 or 8 years.

I'm still kind of bummed about it and I think that's the end of mud projects for me unless I get involved in Twisted Reality or Phantasmal/DGD. Twisted Reality is really interesting, though it's really different from other mud systems I've worked on.

As you've already discovered on the mailing list, Twisted Reality is now Divmod Imaginary: http://divmod.org/trac/wiki/DivmodImaginary

Bummer.  I've been silently following your work at least a half-decade now (I worked for your father and knew Josh; we met once, I think), and it was really the MUD projects that held my interest all that time.  I recall pouring through the varium/bluemud source back when I was still learning how to write network code and experimenting with MUDs, and since then I've managed to leave a multi-language trail of abandonded projects behind me as well ;)  Seems to be a right of passage for most programmers.

Anyhow, keep blogging and best of luck.

P.S. - Something feels indescribably wrong about checking the "human" box...


Please keep comments appropriate. I reserve the right to remove anonymous comments, flames, spammy, inappropriate, and other comments that I deem to be worth removing.

Note: New comments get placed in a "draft" status and will NOT show up on the site until I explicitly approve it. Usually that happens within 24 hours, but sometimes I go away and it takes a day or two.

Note 2: There is now a preview button for those of you who want to see a preview! However, it doesn't quite work the way you'd think it should work. I'll look into adjusting it some day.

Note 3: If you can't for some reason post a comment, send me an email: willg at bluesock dot org.
