I remember armageddon! I was a "god" there due to my work on a couple of other popular muds (Epic and SillyMUD), but was likely better known there for taking up the challenge of building a character there and seeing how fast I could kill everyone in alphabetic (and then reverse-alphabetic) order.

the challenge became easy with two things:

1) you could set your "title" to anything you wanted, as long as you included your name somewhere in the title. I named my character "Delver", as in "Foo the Delver in Spells" (the first level mage title)

2) I found a remote area that increased mana production, camped there, and summon/fireball'd everyone very quickly

good memories.

as an aside, there's a copy of SillyMUD running at legitimatesounding.com 4000 for those feeling nostalgic.
