285 One of the BatMUD's "God"-level wizards. | |
859 | 286 Creator of the feared Great Northern Swamps aka Zonni Swamp and |
287 the infamous eq-monster Burglefloogah. | |

290 [p] | |
1565 | 291 Was retired and offline for many years until returning suddenly |
292 in early August 2008. Was demoted to Avatar in Oct 2008 by joint | |
293 decision of the archwizards mainly due to his attitude towards players | |
1113 | 294 and changed policies of BatMUD administration. |

1565 | 300 Neverthless, Zonni's status as a legendary wizard of BatMUD was |

302 game. | |
