Elendor 'You have entered the lands of J.R.R. Tolkien's imagination.' Once you've 'locked' your character so that no one else can control it, specified your gender, and given your email address, you are transported to the 'Hall of Races', where you may choose to be a hobbit, elf, dwarf, or another creature from the world of Tolkien. [...] Based in the third age, shortly after the events in The Hobbit, the MUSH is less about reenacting the books and more about exploring 'what would happen if...' questions.
MUME IV Multi-Users in Middle Earth, or MUME, simulates Tolkien's world of Middle Earth. [...] Role-playing is encouraged, but this is primarily an adventure and combat MUD. [...] Server: Diku - ^ Moss, Will; Pantuso, Joe. The Complete Internet Gamer. John Wiley & Sons. p. 142. ISBN 0-471-13787-1.
Elendor is a very large and successful Mush dedicated to role playing and exploration in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth. This is the same universe immortalized in the classic Lord of the Rings trilogy, the books that defined sword-and-sorcery fantasy. If you don't want to encounter a lot of other players, this is the wrong Mush to play in. Elendor is well populated, and it is hard to move around without encountering other characters.
