A typical development cycle is a week of feverish work, followed by six months of nothing. It's like the girlfriend that is always willing to take me back. I have not touched Aarait since 2000 or so. This page is here soley for nostalgia purposes. You can always grab a copy of Aarait at the Mud Emporium. I've always considered Aarait to be my 'baby' project. I had worked on several muds before Aarait and I wanted to do something totally different. What can be more different from the endless grind of killing and gaining XP than fishing and pig farming? If I remember correctly, Aarait style fishing was something I wanted to do on Dibrova, but it simply wasn't possible without erasing all of the players and forcing them to start over. Sounds dumb, but Dibrova didn't have enough spare room in its player files. Having enough room in the player file use to be a big problem as fixed length records were used. Now everyone uses ASCII files or an SQL DB so player file modification is no big deal. Pig farming was a direct result of World Forge, a project I was big on way back when. World Forge was an attempt to make an open source graphical MMORPG. One of the test worlds involved raising pigs by force-feeding them acorns. I loved this idea and modeled it in Aarait. At some point World Forge style pig farming was completed. You can download a copy from the World Forge site. I find it amusing that when most players first log in, they attempt to kill a random insect, get the bad command 'Huh?!?' message and then quit. Those that give Aarait more than five seconds love it and find it to be very unique. Pro Tip: Aarait means 'Fine, thank you' in the Belize Kriol language. I had no idea until I was searching for myself on Google one day. Aarait was originally an acronym that I forgot the meaning to.
