====== History ======
This is a short player-facing note. It is **not** a recovered Wayback article and does not invent founding dates or chronicle events that are not documented in the current wiki and code.

===== What Nilgiri is =====
**Nilgiri the Forgotten World** is a classic-style MUD: text rooms, mobiles, items, skills and spells, and a persistent character database. Players connect with:

  ''ssh nilgiri@nilgiri.net''

See [[connect|Connecting to Nilgiri]].

===== Lineage =====
Nilgiri descends from the DikuMUD family of codebases. The live server is a Java rewrite / continuation known as **Neo-Nilgiri**. Content and systems still show Diku-era zone ideas (city guards, shopkeepers, rent, etc.) while Code Law documents the Java, H2, and Beanshell tooling used to rebuild and extend the world.
