Hard to be specific, many things were blurry back then.<\/p>\n              <p>Two renegade players known as Vx and Mork who met on Elephant MUD, downloaded an early version of MudOS and a release of the then Nightmare Mudlib \u2014 a kind of default game to build upon \u2014 and put Insomnia up as their own online game.<\/p>\n              <p>What started out as a bit of a joke, got quite popular over the years \u2014 at one point there was a good sized regular player community, and many fun mudmeet&#8217;s (drinking sessions) occurred in London in the late 90s.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"insom-rebirth-note\">\n              <p>Many years have passed. MudOS is literally no more. Computing has moved to the cloud. Nobody plays MUDs anymore.<\/p>\n              <p>Yet, in a moment of boredom and piqued curiosity, <strong>Insomnia has been reborn<\/strong> using a modern FluffOS driver to replace MudOS, and the one viable copy of Nightmare Mudlib \u2014 3.3, the worst \u2014 that could be found.<\/p>\n              <p>That, a quick instance fired up on AWS, and already many hours of recreating original genius\u2026<\/p>\n              <p>Much is broken. Much is already fixed. Help is needed. If you would like to help, email us or log on to the MUD and shout for either Mork or Vx.
