Koala Complete Mud Server Documentation Series

Purpose:
The Koala mud server is designed to be a highly scalable, distributed
multiuser roleplaying game. The game world can be distributed across
multiple machines in multiple different locations. For the purposes of
stability, multiple machines can be setup to run the same part of the world.
Players can wander around the entirety of the world from any of the client
servers that are attached to the network.
Overall, the purpose is to create a multiplayer role playing game that
truely does have something for everyone.
Plans:
The flagship mud will have a world defined such that all of the features
of the software are demonstrated in as best a way as possible. Eventually
the plan is to have the network opened such that new 'MUD's are simply new
zone servers connecting to the network to run a portion of the 'world'.
World in this case could probably be more aptly described as universe. since
the most logical division of zone serververs controlled by different people
would be on a planetary scale.
