I know that most existing MUDs don't have either a history, background
or religion. What I'm wondering is how many of you do have a (more or
less) well thought-out history for your MUD? Are you borrowing stuff from
our own history? How do you handle names (of people and places) in case
you dont? Religion and gods? Do the implemtation of it all differ from what
you first planned it to be, and why?

I am currently writing something myself at the moment, allthough it is
not complete (and I doubt it will ever be... :), it is almost 400 lines
of pure text. It describes what events caused year 1, the religion and
its gods, a little bit about the main temple and the castle, kings and
other "important" stuff, like a quite detailed timeline.
But I have to admit that I haven't yet come up with a name for the
kingdom... (any ideas for a kindonw name for a fantasy/swords-and-sorcery
type of MUD? ;)
If there is any intrest, I can even post the text file here to let you guys
complain about it, and maybe to "borrow" an idea or two from it... :)
