NexusMUD is one of the oldest muds on the internet. Nexus II was based on DikuMUD, Merc and SillyMUD, although towards the end of that codebase there was very little left which hadn't been recoded by the then coders, Yann Stettler and Chris Javet. Nexus II, because it relied on the older C written codebase, inherited alot of the disorganisation and problems of its predecessors. Nexus is now in the process of being rewritten from scratch, this time in C++, by our resident guru coder, Henri Muurimaa (Zak). Rebuilding Nexus is a big project, which will take time to complete. So bear with us, and check up on the news to see how we're going. If you want to drop us an email then feel free, send it to nexus@nexus.cohprog.com.

Nexus II consisted of a series of "planes" of which there was the Prime Material plane, the Abyssal plane, and the Water plane, all linked together by the Astral Plane. The next generation Nexus will draw on this idea, and ideas from the popular Planescape games to produce new planes, and sub-planes, in an effort to create a diverse and interesting multiverse. At the nexus of all these planes is the appropriately named Nexus City. Nexus City is built on a huge rock floating between the planes. The city was constructed by the Clanners, who built spires and towers from the red rock, and used the power of steam to make the city tick. Above some of the spires, swirling orb portals allow access to the multitude of other planes. Because of this Nexus City quickly became overrun by planar beings from other planes. At first the Clanners welcomed the new visitors, who employed their skills to expand the city. However as time wore on the Clanners became more and more of a minority until eventually they abandoned the city and have sought refuge underground. Since then planar beings from all over have come to Nexus City in an effort to make it their home, resulting in a mix of races and cultures, in an enforced harmony.
