[edit] Misinformation in this Article

I see that this article has just been copied from the "About" page on the current TorilMUD. Some things need to be corrected and most can be verified by reading the credits on the same web site:

1. "Following leadership roles on Copper 2 MUD from 1990-1992, Kris and some friends created Black Knights MUD" This is *very* wrong. Kris and "his friends" did not create Black Knights Realm. Black Knight's Realm (based on Copper II code) was owned by Van Vangor (Zig) and was run on the server at UCF. The coders were Barlows and Myrrh. Kris (Miax) became an area writer on BK shortly before it was taken down by Zig. When BK folded, Zig gave Kris some zones to use in his own MUD. Kris and his friends were not involved with the creation of BK at all. I was one of the Gods (Pez) on BK at the time that Miax started writing for the MUD.

2. SojournMUD was created by Miax (Kris Kortright), Gond (John Bashaw) and Cython (Tim Devlin). Since these names are, or, at least WERE, in the MUD credits, they should be replicated here as well.

In addition above items, the text claims that the layout of the city of Waterdeep in Sojourn/Toril was used as the basis for the city of Waterdeep in EverQuest. Except that there is no such city in EverQuest. I presume that they mean that it was the basis for the city of Freeport in EverQuest, as they do share some characteristics and locations. Is this correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zouve (talk • contribs) 19:54, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

-- Response Re: City layout, Waterdeep

Yes, Waterdeep was used as a model for the first city in EverQuest. Kris thinks it may have been Freeport, but doesn't remember. Whichever city came first, that would be it. Also copied over from Sojourn were many aspects of the Crimson Sigil guild -- Brad McQuaid was a member -- as well as the Petition Channel and a *lot* of items and MOBs.
