Shadows of Isildur has been a collaborative project since day one - without the efforts
and generosity of those listed here, we would not be here today. Over the years, many
people have had a hand in helping the project come to fruition; if you feel your name
should be on this list, but was lost in the shuffle, please accept our sincere apologies
for the oversight, and notify us so we can
rectify the situation as soon as possible.
Obviously, it goes without saying that without the wonderful works and imagination of
the late Professor J.R.R. Tolkien, none of this would have been possible - our heartfelt
thanks go out to him for sharing his vision and his creations with his fellow human beings -
and to his Estate and Tolkien Enterprises as well for allowing fans like us to create a MUD based upon them.
Past Contributors of Note:
Adia: Formerly one of our head administrators, Adia tackled the daunting
task of reconstructing Minas Tirith faithfully to the last detail from Tolkien's work.
Much of his work remains intact and in-game to this day.
Amritsar: Amritsar singlehandedly constructed large swaths of Ithilien, as
well as significant portions of the inner circles of Minas Tirth.
Fox: One of the members of our original founding team, Fox contributed a
great number of things, including a lot of general building, singlehandedly designing the original Minas Morgul, and mathematically balancing the economy.
Gilgalsil: A former administrator, Gilgalsil was instrumental in bringing
the shadier parts of the White City to life. Like Adia, a great deal of his is still used.
HaiWolfe: One of our most industrious builders, HaiWolfe is responsible for much of Minas Morgul as
it is today, and as head admin oversaw one of our most prolific periods of growth to date.
Harshlands MUD: Harshlands contributed the codebase
from which our own was developed; without them, we would never have started.
Myrrkridia: A former head administrator and one of the very first members of the staff, Myrrkridia helped shepherd the game
through many rough patches early on. Much of the building in Minas Morgul that exists to this day is his, and during his tenure he
earned widespread infamy and adulation for his dreaded "Roll a New Character" RPTs.
Traithe: Founded and began development on Shadows of Isildur
in January of 2002. He authored all the code changes that made our MUD server into what it is today (as of January 2005),
in addition to creating our website's PHP scripting and content, and running, securing and maintaining our dedicated server, Orthanc. Although
no longer officially on staff, he continues to fund the MUD, and is its legal owner.
Zapata: One of our brightest roleplay administrators, Zapata created much
of Osgiliath, and was heavily involved in creating plots and storylines for our shadier PCs.
Former Staff Members:
Absinthe, Adia, Aldaron, Amritsar, Arval, Camcaran, Cronos, Daggin, Draxx, Dyanne, Fox, Genesis, Gilgalsil, HaiWolfe, Haleon, Kaese,
Littlefinger, Myrrkridia, Muse, Nir, Nix, Peredhel, Richius, Ruath, Scaurus, Szander, Traithe, Tumaran, Ulysses, Zapata and Zarathustra.
