As Cranberry AKA-Gallara notes on the Ultima Dragons Facebook group, Sorceress Dragon and a handful of others have resurrected thebuilt the Weyrmount MOO as — of course — Weyrmount II, really — a snazzy new website!

Welcome to the Weyrmount, the other home of the Ultima Dragons! Here you can find all the information you will need to get up and running quickly.

First, if you are unfamiliar with the Weyrmount or who we are, it’s suggested you start with the historical links. The first entry describes who the Ultima Dragons are and ‘Core of Darkness‘ details the history of the original Weyrmount. For those interested in the underlying technology, the sections on MUDs and MOOs cover the history of the technology that made Weyrmount possible.

In order to log into the Weyrmount, you will need a MUD client. The section on telnet clients provides some suggestions for various platforms.

Once you have a client you feel comfortable using, all you need to do to access the Weyrmount is to log into:

moo.weyrmount2.org 8000

For those unfamiliar with telnet, moo.weyrmount.org is the host and 8000 is the port number. Also, make sure you set whatever client you are using to telnet as Weyrmount does not support SSH.

Links to a number of MUD clients — for Windows, OS X, Linux, and even iOS and Android — are provided at the Weyrmount II site, along with a list of basic commands. This is exciting news indeed; the demise of the original Weyrmount was much-bemoaned by many Ultima Dragons.

Many thanks to Sorceress Dragon — and Monomolecular, Nameless, Nightfox, Halfelven, Gallara, Singing, and Wtcher Dragons, all of whom supported the creation of Weyrmount II — for bringing back the Weyrmountall their hard work on this! I for one am looking forward to participating in this new online, text-based endeavour.
