| 2 # name;[http://homepageURL|bat];[http://pictureURL];freeform description$ | |
| 501 | 3 Darol;bat;img/darol.jpg; |
| 336 | 4 The funniest wizard in BatMUD .. at least in his own mind. |
| 5 <b>No, really! He is funny.</b> | |
| 6 The most notable of Darol's works so far is the Ancona manor, | |
| 7 but he has contributed to different kinds of smaller projects | |
| 8 as well. Amongst the fellow wizards he is known for his | |
| 9 megalomaniac obsession for documentation which sometimes | |
| 10 grows larger than the projects themselves.$ | |
| 11 | |
| 519 | 12 Femko;bat;img/femko.jpg; |
| 336 | 13 The kinky wizard from Germany, the land of beer and bratwurst, |
| 14 und lederhosen. His known work includes sub-areas in the | |
| 15 Valley of the Kings, such as the ship in Sesmia and Liscom's tower. | |
| 506 | 16 <br /><br /> |
| 17 It is also rumoured that he is working on a new secret project (a | |
| 18 guild)... | |
| 336 | 19 $ |
| 20 | |
| 504 | 21 Dralith;bat;img/dralith.jpg; |
| 336 | 22 One of the most active new wizards as of 2007. Often works on |
| 23 fixing bugs and maintaining / recoding things, but also has | |
| 24 created E'siris, a city on the ethereal plane, among other | |
| 25 things.$ | |
| 26 | |
| 632 | 27 Juggelo;;img/juggelo.jpg; |
| 336 | 28 During his wizardly career, mr. Juggelo has been a real all-around |
| 29 handyman. His contributions include coding the feared eq-monster, | |
| 30 <b>ancient beholder Gou'ljeg</b>; working on maintaining areas and | |
| 31 monsters; working on the mudlib, fixing bugs, recoding, etc. | |
| 32 <i>He has probably touched the code of almost every single eq-monster | |
| 33 in the game</i>. He is also known for making several well-known tunes | |
| 34 (for example the race-tune of 2006), usually related to maintaining | |
| 35 game balance.<br /><br /> | |
| 36 | |
| 37 He ascended to archwizardhood in May 2007.$ | |
| 38 | |
| 632 | 39 Shinarae;;img/shinarae.jpg; |
| 336 | 40 Archwizard with several areas <i>(many of them, like Wildspace and Drow Tower, |
| 41 are not directly accessible from outworld)</i>, of which some are interconnected | |
| 42 thematically, or at least loosely through the master thief | |
| 43 Trilloch's story. His areas and monsters are rich in diversity | |
| 44 and content, both characteristics they are often either | |
| 45 loved or hated for. Ascended to archwizardhood with Shardik | |
| 46 in 2005.<br /><br /> | |
| 47 Tarken interviewed Shinarae in 2006, | |
| 48 <a href="http://www.maroon.com/bat/interviews/shinarae.asp">read | |
| 49 it</a> for many interesting insights into his mysterious world, | |
| 50 and the origins of <b>Trilloch</b> himself.$ | |
| 51 | |
| 519 | 52 Zin;bat;img/zin.jpg; |
| 513 | 53 Feared, hated and loved, <b>Zin</b> is one of the grand archwizards of the |
| 54 realm. His contributions include areas and the whole new Nun | |
| 336 | 55 guild (Sisters of Las), and the related quests/tasks.$ |
| 56 | |
| 634 | 57 Mardus;bat;img/mardus.jpg; |
| 336 | 58 Japanophile and otaku extraordinaire. When Mardus is not fanboying |
| 59 japanese girl-idols or buying photobooks, he might be fixing some | |
| 60 bugs around older areas.$ | |
| 61 | |
| 632 | 62 Kyo;bat;img/kyo.jpg; |
| 336 | 63 One of the most established eq-leaders as mortal, Kyo is now |
| 64 rocking the BatWorld as immortal. His first finished project | |
| 65 was "Small Meadow" area with G'naa'Byeh in 2007. Several | |
| 66 industry analysts consider G'naa'Byeh to be one of the most | |
| 67 annoying eq-monsters in the game.$ | |
| 68 | |
| 632 | 69 Favorit;bat;img/favorit.jpg; |
| 336 | 70 The tovarisch from Russia. Favorit immorted in late 2002, and |
| 71 has worked mostly on non-game elements ever since. His best | |
| 72 known works include the improved news reader, exp-leecher | |
| 73 and Capture the Flag events. He ascended to archwizardhood | |
| 74 in October 2006.<br /><br /> | |
| 75 Dryad did an in-depth interview with Favorit in 2005, | |
| 76 <a href="http://www.maroon.com/bat/interviews/favorit.asp">read | |
| 77 it</a> for some additional musings.$ | |
| 78 | |
| 632 | 79 Durand;bat;img/durand.jpg; |
| 336 | 80 Durand likes to eat torches, and prefers them lit before |
| 81 consumption. Rumours tell that his other favourite snack is | |
| 82 <b>cookies</b> of various kinds.<br /><br /> | |
| 83 Bat-wise Durand's contributions include one of the | |
| 84 "ultimate" eq-monsters in game, <b>Tiamat, the Chromatic Dragon</b> | |
| 85 (coded with Tormac). His current work mainly involves | |
| 86 system maintenance of BatMUD servers. Sometimes he | |
| 87 fixes bugs and codes nice things like BatURL. | |
| 88 $ | |
| 89 | |
| 532 | 90 Dino;bat;img/dino.jpg; |
| 336 | 91 His contributions are numerous, and include some areas, |
| 92 the rainbow and EP-eater events and the blog command. He also acted | |
| 93 as a leading architect in creation of Valley of the Kings, | |
| 94 one of the biggest areas in game. | |
| 95 <br /><br /> | |
| 532 | 96 He also personally claims to have coded Durand. |
| 336 | 97 $ |
| 98 | |
| 635 | 99 Gore;bat;img/gore.jpg; |
| 336 | 100 One of the ancient archwizards. Although apparently retired |
| 101 from BatMUD development, Gore's contributions in past have | |
| 102 included the party system, battle system, etc. He has | |
| 103 oftend acted as a public spokesman for BatMUD and B.A.T. Ry. | |
| 104 $ | |
| 105 | |
| 106 Kitsune;;img/kitsune.jpg; | |
| 107 Your friendly neighbourhood newbie wizard. Kitsune has so far | |
| 108 produced one area, 'Public Gardens', which features specific | |
| 109 herbs and animals (for organs) - very useful feature for | |
| 110 alchemists all around! Regrettably she has been busy with real life | |
| 111 lately, but has two areas "in the making", so stay tuned. | |
| 112 <br /><br /> | |
| 113 Tarken interviewed Kitsune in 2006, <a | |
| 114 href="http://www.maroon.com/bat/interviews/kitsune.asp">read about | |
| 115 it</a> on Dryad's site. | |
| 116 $ | |
| 117 | |
| 634 | 118 Melemkor;;img/melemkor.jpg; |
| 336 | 119 Certainly one of the major contributors in the current BatWorld, |
| 120 Melemkor's work spans throughout the game; implementation and maintenance of | |
| 121 the new sailor guilds and ships in general being just one part of | |
| 122 his repertoire. Besides those, he is also the mastermind behind | |
| 123 shipquests, though some of the work was delegated to other wizards | |
| 124 (Malack, Hablo, etc.)<br /><br /> | |
| 125 Last, but certainly not least, we should mention his involvement | |
| 126 with the great continent tune, which moved us into the <b>Age of | |
| 127 Exiles</b>. Melemkor was the major architect behind this major change, | |
| 128 although many other wizards also worked on the new content. | |
| 129 <br /><br /> | |
| 130 Melemkor speaks: <i>"Thanks for playing :) Some of my projects have been really | |
| 131 popular, others have had decidedly mixed opinions; I hope things | |
| 132 have generally worked out well, but it's always keeping things exciting | |
| 366 | 133 for the players that keeps me coding."</i>. |
| 134 $ | |
| 135 | |
| 635 | 136 Noctur;;img/noctur.jpg; |
| 379 | 137 <b>Noctur! This wizard originating from Finland, but often living |
| 138 abroad, brings light to our days - and every single | |
| 139 time he is on-line, happiness fills our hearts!</b> Seriously speaking, | |
| 140 Noctur has contributed areas, and designed perhaps few of the most visible | |
| 141 things in current BatWorld: terrain maps of Desolathya, Lucentium, | |
| 142 Furnachia and half of Rothikgen. He also wrote the background lore and | |
| 143 stories for several continents. | |
| 144 $ | |
| 145 | |
| 146 Ulath;;img/ulath.jpg; | |
| 147 Man behind many things, Ulath has ascended the ranks of wizardhood | |
| 148 quickly by working on countless problems, fixing bugs, and | |
| 149 also creating new content. He is known to maintain the new | |
| 150 city code (used in New Rilynttar, Arelium, etc.) with Dralith. | |

| 160 This dangerously handsome wizard hailing from Finland has thus | |
| 161 far contributed one finished area, a miniquest, | |
| 379 | 162 and also worked on the E'siris-related continent quests. |
| 163 He also mentions that as of June 2007, he has 3 new areas | |
