🌍 Building the World of "1710" — A Community MUD Project Begins

Welcome to Easton, 1710, the first town in a living, breathing multiplayer world that you can help create.

We've just laid the foundation for a text-based online game — a MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) — that combines Middle-Earth vibes, Dungeons & Dragons flavor, and a gritty post-medieval setting grounded in a fictional town named Easton.

But the real magic? It's open source, community-built, and blockchain-integrated.

✅ What We've Built So Far

Here's what we've already done — using Evennia, a Python-based MUD engine:

• 🎮 Launched a working public server: Telnet in at 74.208.146.37 4000 in browser http://74.208.146.37:4001
• 🧱 Created our first town: Easton, the humble spawn point in a fog-covered square
• 🏚️ Built Easton's core locations:
  • Luna Shack: Home of two hillbilly brothers who buy/sell scrap (Nater & E.R. Luna)
  • Enchanter’s Garden: Mystic grove with magical flora and Eyla the Enchantress
  • Blacksmith: Hammer-and-anvil haven run by Brannick the Half-Orc
  • Home Row: Leaning houses and Granny Sel, a medic with dried meats and gossip
• 👤 Populated the town with custom NPCs with rich backstories
• 🧭 Wired exits between locations so players can explore Easton freely
• 🔧 Fully interactive: You can explore now via Telnet or eventually through a web client

🧠 Why We Need Your Help

This is a massive world, and one person can’t build it alone.

While I focus on the backend, blockchain economy, combat systems, and PeakeCoin integration, I'm opening the world up to writers, worldbuilders, roleplayers, and D&D fans who want to:

• Create cities, towns, ruins, dungeons, temples, and taverns
• Add NPCs with personalities, shops, and scripted interactions
• Write lore, faction histories, or item descriptions
• Help test the tutorial or class/race system

Think of it like early Minecraft, but all text — you build the world, and it becomes permanent.

If you’re familiar with D&D, coding, creative writing, or just like the idea of a living world that pays respect to old-school multiplayer storytelling — this is your chance.

🔐 Access Info

• Game Name: 1710
• Address: telnet 74.208.146.37 4000 or in browser http://74.208.146.37:4001
• (Web client coming soon)

Want builder access? DM me with:

• Your desired username
• Short intent: "I want to build a ruined monastery," etc.

🛠️ Coming Next: “Builder’s Quickstart Guide”

The next post will include a simple list of building commands like:

• @dig Room Name = direction
• @desc here = Room description
• @create NPCName = typeclasses.characters.Character
• @tel NPCName = here
• @open direction = Destination

It’ll show how easy it is to contribute to the world — even from your phone.

💬 Final Thought

This is about more than just a game. It’s about building something permanent, from scratch, together.

No microtransactions. No loading screens. Just imagination, story, and code.

Easton is just the beginning. Help shape what comes next.
