January 2, 2003

HolyQuest is still alive and well, although very few players and very small world. The mud server used to run HolyQuest is currently CircleMUD. But, about a year ago, work began on a new mud server named OMugs - Online Multi-User Game Server. OMugs is being coded from scratch using Microsoft Visual C++ and runs on a Microsoft Windows 2000 platform. The current plan is convert HolyQuest to run using OMugs sometimethis year and then continue the development of the HolyQuest world.

Today, in the early evening, a historic event occurred on HolyQuest. The first two players of HolyQuest, Ariel and Becca, logged in, found some equipment, and then some rats met their fate at the hands of these two fearless warriors.

There is more to the story, I won't tell all here, but there was some mysterious traveling and the statue incident! Ask them about it when; you see them 'in game' :)

Here's three cheers to Ariel and Becca, great warriors, who have joined David and his mighty men in their HolyQuest.
