September 2003 - Ah September. A time when Fall is in the air and thoughts turn to school ... and to the fact the Mud has moved. We've been meaning to move the Mud for some time, but a recent spate of Network problems has encouraged us to bump up the move. We can now be found at: mud.pixiemud.org port 6789 ( or 24.222.82.228 port 6789)

Sept. 20, 2003 Update - You can now telnet to the standard telnet port, i.e. telnet mud.pixiemud.org (without the 6789). Port 6789 will continue to work.
