Game owners can now purchase and manage MUDVerse advertising directly from their account.
Added a new Purchase and manage your ads area where signed-in users can buy one or more banner ads through one-time PayPal checkout for $10 USD per calendar month, with no subscription or automatic renewal.
Each self-service ad is associated with an active MUDVerse listing, while its banner can link either to the MUDVerse listing page or directly to the game’s home page.
After checkout, advertisers can finish and publish a paid draft, replace its title or banner, change its associated active listing, disable or re-enable it, and renew published active, disabled, or expired ads.
The ad editor now previews the real banner placement, recommends 728×90 artwork, validates new images by their actual format and dimensions, and keeps larger legacy advertisements usable without stretching the site header.
My Ads now distinguishes running, expired, and disabled campaigns visually, offers optional one-week expiration reminders, and shows a concise history of completed purchases and renewals.
Administrators can review self-service and manually arranged ads together, including aggregate impression and click totals, while paid terms and transaction history remain protected from ordinary editing.
PayPal webhook processing now handles completed and pending captures, refunds, reversals, and disputes through an idempotent payment ledger, with improved operational diagnostics when PayPal requests must be retried.
Registration and password-reset forms now show password requirements as they are met, giving members immediate guidance before submission.
Privacy-preserving product reporting now includes aggregate views of guide, developer, and game-owner resource pages, helping us understand which resources are useful without storing full referrers, query strings, or persistent visitor identifiers.
A comprehensive MUD protocol catalog and local reference library are now available.
Added a searchable and filterable MUD Protocols catalog covering 53 player-session protocols, terminal foundations, client and ancillary conventions, and inter-MUD networks.
Every card distinguishes documented current use from legacy status, with separate labels for widely used, current, niche, compatibility, historical, and experimental protocols.
Added a dedicated local reference page for every catalog entry with first-seen information, transport details, implementation essentials, compatibility and safety notes, and clearly attributed links to original specifications or preservation copies.
Added MUD Protocols to the Developers navigation and developer resource hub.
MUDVerse added a research-backed MUD Dictionary and expanded its engine catalog.
Expanded the MUD Engines catalog with source-backed licensing, commercial-use, stable-release, deployment, platform, persistence, protocol, lineage, migration, and support information.
Added advanced filters for starting point, commercial-use terms, Docker support, integrated web experiences, in-game programming, and persistence model, alongside clearer setup-difficulty labels and improved checkbox spacing.
Verified stable releases for 15 engines using official project release pages and stable tags. Prereleases such as LambdaMOO 1.9.0alpha are intentionally excluded from the stable field.
Corrected LambdaMOO to identify its in-world programming and building capabilities, and removed Custom, Other, Oblivion, Eye of the Storm, The Forest’s Edge, and the generic MOO, MUCK, MUSH, and MUX family labels from the public comparison so the page focuses on 39 identifiable engines and lineages.
Added a prominent validation date and retained source links and explicit unknown states so visitors can tell when claims were reviewed and where gaps remain.
Added a searchable MUD Dictionary with 137 general, community, MOO, MUSH, TinyMUX, MUCK, LPMud, Diku, and Evennia term senses, cross-engine comparisons, visual maps, provenance labels, and links to primary manuals and project documentation.
