| 1255 | 27 The funniest [b]arch[/b]wizard in BatMUD .. at least in his own mind. |
| 1112 | 28 [b]No, really! He is funny.[/b] |
| 1295 | 29 The most notable of Darol's works so far are the Ancona manor, |
| 30 Kharim guild (The Legions of Blood God) and generally contributing | |
| 31 greatly to the lore of the game. | |
| 32 [p] | |
| 33 In addition he has contributed to different kinds of smaller projects | |
| 34 as well, including the usual bugfixes and maintaining various things. | |
| 35 Amongst the fellow wizards he is known for his | |
| 336 | 36 megalomaniac obsession for documentation which sometimes |
| 1239 | 37 grows larger than the projects themselves. |
| 38 [p] | |
| 1255 | 39 [b]Darol ascended to archwizardhood in 20th of August 2011 |

| 632 | 60 Juggelo;;img/juggelo.jpg; |
| 336 | 61 During his wizardly career, mr. Juggelo has been a real all-around |
| 62 handyman. His contributions include coding the feared eq-monster, | |
| 1112 | 63 [b]ancient beholder Gou'ljeg[/b]; working on maintaining areas and |
| 336 | 64 monsters; working on the mudlib, fixing bugs, recoding, etc. |
| 1112 | 65 [i]He has probably touched the code of almost every single eq-monster |
| 66 in the game[/i]. He is also known for making several well-known tunes | |
| 336 | 67 (for example the race-tune of 2006), usually related to maintaining |
| 1116 | 68 game balance. |
| 69 [p] | |

| 80 in diversity and content, both characteristics they are often either | |
| 81 loved or hated for. Ascended to archwizardhood with ~Shardik~ | |

| 1112 | 135 "ultimate" eq-monsters in game, [b]Tiamat, the Chromatic Dragon[/b] |
| 136 (coded with ~Tormac~). His current work mainly involves | |
| 336 | 137 system maintenance of BatMUD servers. Sometimes he |

| 177 shipquests, though some of the work was delegated to other wizards | |

| 1112 | 180 with the great continent tune, which moved us into the [b]Age of |

| 264 Zonni;;; | |
| 265 One of the BatMUD's "God"-level wizards. | |
| 859 | 266 Creator of the feared Great Northern Swamps aka Zonni Swamp and |
| 267 the infamous eq-monster Burglefloogah. | |
| 634 | 268 Was known for his unparalled cruelty towards players, in the |
| 1113 | 269 [i]good old times[/i]. |
| 270 [p] | |
| 271 He was retired and offline for many years until returning suddenly | |
| 272 in early August 2008. Was demoted to Avatar in Oct 2008 by joint decision | |
| 273 of the archwizards mainly due to his attitude towards players | |
| 274 and changed policies of BatMUD administration. | |

| 277 [i]The cosmic vortex shifts, and an old god who had recently awoken | |
| 278 from its slumber has lost its power.[/i] | |
| 1113 | 279 [p] |
| 280 Neverthless, Zonni's status as a legendary wizard of BatMUD is | |
| 281 undeniable, and references to him can be found all around in the | |
| 282 game. | |

| 1113 | 286 Dazzt, also playfully known as Duz, was, during his mortal career, |
| 287 often playing a nun and unsurprisingly has dedicated much of his | |
| 288 wizardly time to improving the Nun guild. He is one of the current | |
| 289 maintainers of the Nun guild, along with ~Gurth~, ~Brock~, etc. | |
| 634 | 290 $ |

| 292 | |
| 293 Hablo;bat;img/hablo.jpg; | |

| 307 Swedish wizard, and a creator of several rather popular areas, | |
| 308 most of which are currently (since late 2006) not in the game. | |
| 309 It has been mentioned, that the areas will be back "soon". | |
| 310 Souc has also authored events (hiking) and commands. | |
| 1112 | 311 [p] |
| 1228 | 312 List of the areas not reinstated (as of August 2011): |

| 326 [b]Sun Sep 27 19:21:38 2009 [general] by Ulath[/b][br] | |

| 328 nobody knows. So long, and thanks for all the area... er, fish. | |

| 330 | |
| 1113 | 331 Gurth;;; |
| 332 As a mortal, Gurth created a reputation of being a superbly | |
| 333 efficient player and a rather skilled eq party leader. | |
| 334 The speed that he progressed from a complete newbie to elder | |
| 335 nun is still remembered as a impressive feat. | |
| 336 [p] | |
| 337 After immorting Gurth worked on improving the Nun guild | |
| 338 and added in new form of relics. He has also worked on | |
| 339 some aspects of Heidel's area "Tyr Farwyn". | |
