SMAUG

SMAUG

SMAUG is a Merc and DikuMUD derived MUD server. Its name is a backronym inspired by the dragon Smaug found in J. R. R. Tolkien's fiction. The project was started in May 1994 by Derek Snider and in July 1994, Realms of Despair, was opened to the public. In December 1996 the SMAUG source code was publicly released due to an earlier leak of the code and some areas.
