Welcome to Nilgiri the Forgotten World

A mythopoeia set in a medieval world of might and magic.

Then & Now

Nilgiri is one of the oldest DikuMUD based games. We have had a continous online presence since August 1991. We are a small, dedicated and free MUD service.

GTalk Client : XMPP2MUD

Nilgiri is home to the XMPP2MUD client. Although still in development and currently not available to the Nilgiri population, it was developed here for the immortals. XMPP2MUD is ideal for using an XMPP compliant Instant Messenger like Google Talk to connect to your own TinyMUD, MUSH, MUCK or Talker variant.

MUD Client

Nilgiri has its own homegrown web based Java Applet MUD client. Many find it easy and use it as their primary means of logging into Nilgiri.
