|
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.$

|
|

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 />
|

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 />

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.$

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

|
|
|
101 from BatMUD development, Gore's contributions in past have
|
|
|
102 included the party system, battle system, etc. He has

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.

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>.

141 things in current BatWorld: terrain maps of Desolathya, Lucentium,
