Nanvaent is a MUD based in the UK using the LPMud codebase.
[edit] History
Nanvaent was created in LPMud-form in February 1991, but has its origins in VAXMUD.[1] Its name is an acronym that stands for 'Not AberMUD, Not VAXMUD, And Especially Not TinyMUD'.
Originally set up as an LPMud, the first administrators were Anjou, Aragorn and Edacom. A union was formed between Nanvaent and Vaxmud, a MUD played by the Nanvaent administrators and ran by another MUDder called Bill. Realizing the potential of LPMud, code and players were converted to the LPMud codebase, sometimes with the help of Lars Pensjö, the creator of LPMud.
The server on which Nanvaent resides has moved several times. Initially, it was located at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, since all Gods of Nanvaent graduated from this university. Later, it was moved to run on a SPARC 10 at the University of Glasgow when one of the Gods was employed there. In 1998, a server dedicated to Nanvaent was purchased with the help of donations from players, and the machine was moved yet again to be located at the premises of an ISP in London where an administrator of the game was employed.
