3 Darol;bat;bat://album123/aba.jpg;
|
|
|
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.$

18 Dralith;bat;bat://Pictures-by-Flirt/abe.sized.jpg;
|
|
|
19 One of the most active new wizards as of 2007. Often works on
|
|
|
20 fixing bugs and maintaining / recoding things, but also has
|
|
|
21 created E'siris, a city on the ethereal plane, among other
|
|

22 things.$

|
24 Juggelo;bat;bat://album147/aac.sized.jpg;
|
|
|
25 During his wizardly career, mr. Juggelo has been a real all-around
|
|
|
26 handyman. His contributions include coding the feared eq-monster,
|
|
|
27 <b>ancient beholder Gou'ljeg</b>; working on maintaining areas and
|
|
|
28 monsters; working on the mudlib, fixing bugs, recoding, etc.
|
|
|
29 <i>He has probably touched the code of almost every single eq-monster
|
|
|
30 in the game</i>. He is also known for making several well-known tunes
|
|
|
31 (for example the race-tune of 2006), usually related to maintaining
|
|
|
32 game balance.<br /><br />
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
34 He ascended to archwizardhood in May 2007.$

36 Shinarae;;bat://album87/agy.sized.jpg;
|
|
|
37 Archwizard with several areas <i>(many of them, like Wildspace and Drow Tower,
|
|
|
38 are not directly accessible from outworld)</i>, of which some are interconnected
|
|
|
39 thematically, or at least loosely through the master thief
|
|
|
40 Trilloch's story. His areas and monsters are rich in diversity
|
|
|
41 and content, both characteristics they are often either
|
|
|
42 loved or hated for. Ascended to archwizardhood with Shardik
|
|
|
43 in 2005.<br /><br />
|
|
|
44 Tarken interviewed Shinarae in 2006,
|
|
|
45 <a href="http://www.maroon.com/bat/interviews/shinarae.asp">read
|
|
|
46 it</a> for many interesting insights into his mysterious world,
|
|
|
47 and the origins of <b>Trilloch</b> himself.$

48

|
|
49 Zin;bat;bat://album19/aax.jpg;
|
|
|
50 Feared, hated and loved, Zin is one of the grand archwizards of the
|
|
|
51 realm. His contributions include few areas and the whole new Nun
|
|
|
52 guild (Sisters of Las), and the related quests/tasks.$
|
|
|
53
|
|
|
54 Mardus;bat;http://wiz.bat.org/~mardus/aicomp.jpg;
|
|
|
55 Japanophile and otaku extraordinaire. When Mardus is not fanboying
|
|
|
56 japanese girl-idols or buying photobooks, he might be fixing some
|
|
|
57 bugs around older areas.$

59 Kyo;bat;bat://album104/aao.sized.jpg;
|
|
|
60 One of the most established eq-leaders as mortal, Kyo is now
|
|
|
61 rocking the BatWorld as immortal. His first finished project
|
|
|
62 was "Small Meadow" area with G'naa'Byeh in 2007. Several
|
|
|
63 industry analysts consider G'naa'Byeh to be one of the most
|
|
|
64 annoying eq-monsters in the game.$

66 Favorit;bat;http://www.bat.org/albums/album141/abr.sized.jpg;
|
|
|
67 The tovarisch from Russia. Favorit immorted in late 2002, and
|
|
|
68 has worked mostly on non-game elements ever since. His best
|
|
|
69 known works include the improved news reader, exp-leecher
|
|
|
70 and Capture the Flag events. He ascended to archwizardhood
|
|
|
71 in October 2006.<br /><br />
|

76 Durand;bat;bat://album02/aai.sized.jpg;
|
|
|
77 Durand likes to eat torches, and prefers them lit before
|
|
|
78 consumption. Rumours tell that his other favourite snack is
|
|
|
79 <b>cookies</b> of various kinds.<br /><br />
|
|
|
80 Bat-wise Durand's contributions include one of the
|
|
|
81 "ultimate" eq-monsters in game, <b>Tiamat, the Chromatic Dragon</b>
|
|
|
82 (coded with Tormac). His current work mainly involves
|
|
|
83 system maintenance of BatMUD servers. Sometimes he
|
|
|
84 fixes bugs and codes nice things like BatURL.

|
89 the rainbow and EP-eater events and the blog command. He also acted

96 Gore;bat;bat://album103/abf.sized.jpg;

97 One of the ancient archwizards. Although apparently retired
|
|
|
98 from BatMUD development, Gore's contributions in past have
|
|
|
99 included the party system, battle system, etc. He has
|
|
|
100 oftend acted as a public spokesman for BatMUD and B.A.T. Ry.

104 Your friendly neighbourhood newbie wizard. Kitsune has so far
|
|
|
105 produced one area, 'Public Gardens', which features specific
|
|
|
106 herbs and animals (for organs) - very useful feature for
|

107 alchemists all around! Regrettably she has been busy with real life
|
|
|
108 lately, but has two areas "in the making", so stay tuned.

120 impressive catalogue of created areas, several events

125 Melemkor;;bat://album130/ajj.sized.jpg;
|
|
|
126 Certainly one of the major contributors in the current BatWorld,
|
|
|
127 Melemkor's work spans throughout the game; implementation and maintenance of
|
|
|
128 the new sailor guilds and ships in general being just one part of
|
|
|
129 his repertoire. Besides those, he is also the mastermind behind
|
|
|
130 shipquests, though some of the work was delegated to other wizards
|
|
|
131 (Malack, Hablo, etc.)<br /><br />
|
|
|
132 Last, but certainly not least, we should mention his involvement
|
|
|
133 with the great continent tune, which moved us into the <b>Age of
|
|
|
134 Exiles</b>. Melemkor was the major architect behind this major change,
|
|
|
135 although many other wizards also worked on the new content.
|
|
|
136 <br /><br />
|
|
|
137 Melemkor speaks: <i>"Thanks for playing :) Some of my projects have been really
|
|
|
138 popular, others have had decidedly mixed opinions; I hope things
|
|
|
139 have generally worked out well, but it's always keeping things exciting
