Why was there a player wipe (pwipe) in October 1999?
The MUD had gotten out of control and wasn t fun anymore for new players. From 1997 to 1999, Tempora Heroica was an unrestricted player kill (pkill) MUD and the players at the time had become very predatory. Additionally, a few administrators were cheating for their friends and basically things were screwed up. The MUD was closed for two months for reworking. Also during the closure, the players and the corrupt administrators were deleted. Tempora Heroica reopened for New Year s Eve 1999.
