Sylvanus - Enter the Legend

It's coming back, after 20 years.

We have completed a major refactor of the original code, converting it from a custom language to C, and fixing many bugs in the process. Regrettably this introduced a whole new raft of bugs, which we are auditing and fixing as quickly as we can. We hope to be in a position very soon to start new development.

Update 29/08/25: We have completed the removal of the scaffolding code which was put in place to facilitate the port to C, and conducted extensive testing of over 1300 verbs. We have made many bugfixes (and undoubtedly introduced new bugs to replace them). The new code is now live on this server (version 0.6.0, if you're interested), and with the help of a couple of intrepid testers we are fixing a handful of bugs which escaped the earlier testing phase. You are welcome to log in and look around, but remember that this is alpha-quality code: the Management accept no responsibility for any disturbances in the fabric of reality thereby caused.

Oh, we also found the old website! Bits of that will be coming back, too.

Visit us on this server: sylvanus.net:4343 (currently IPv4 only).

We recommend Mudlet (and we will eventually be developing packages specifically to support Mudlet), but any telnet client will work, with the exception of Windows Telnet, which is so broken as to be unusable.

No GMCP yet, but it is planned for.
