I'm pretty interested in following the progress of your MUD server, if you have any way for me to do that. I was a heavy player back the day, mostly Circle/Diku MUDs, and still try one out from time to time.
Lately, I have been considering creating my own as a "something to do in my downtime" project, using Coffee or Evennia, but if you're creating a full server environment that makes rolling out a playable world more convenient, sign me up.
