====== Nilgiri the Forgotten World ======

Welcome to **Nilgiri the Forgotten World**.

Nilgiri is a DikuMUD-based game. [[https://troublerazor.x10.mx/Mud/jdownloads/Muds/misc/mudlists/1991/910911.txt|It came online in August 1991]] and is among the oldest continuously running DikuMUDs on the Internet. The proper name has always been "The Forgotten World"; early players mostly knew it by hostname ''nilgiri.berkeley.edu'' port ''5000''. Like most MUDs of that era, it ran on college resources: a student-assigned Sun workstation in Tilden Hall at UC Berkeley, before commercial ISPs were common. It began as a Sequent I clone and shared players with Copper from CU Boulder, Eltanin from Caltech, and its sister Sequent.

Nilgiri the Forgotten World is in the care of Robert Jeremy Bogue and Frederick Nacino. The current codebase is a DikuMUD variant written entirely by Frederick Nacino.
