NannyMUD is a MUD, a text-based online role-playing game, founded in 1990, making it one of the longest-running online games. It is hosted by Lysator, the computer club of Linköping University in Sweden. Characteristics The game is set in a medieval fantasy world. Typically of MUDs, it has a natural-language-like control system that accepts commands like <code>get bottle</code> and <code>drink milk</code>. History 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 <code>nanny.lysator.liu.se</code>, 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". It is at this point that NannyMUD became a project of Lysator. Early wizards included Thomas "Padrone" Padron-McCarthy, a prolific contributor to the LPMud community. Technical infrastructure 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. Influence , creator of the LPC-inspired Pike programming language, was a long-time contributor to NannyMUD.
