'''Hope Island MUCK''' is an adults-only [[MUCK]] within the [[furry fandom]]. Based on story-driven free-form [[roleplaying]], the theme is a world of [[anthropomorphic]] [[character]]s, although humans are permitted. The theme of the MUCK is a far-future post-Human Earth in which today's animal species have evolved into sapient, bi-pedal versions of themselves through some as-of-yet unknown process, and human civilization has been destroyed by a long-past apocalypse, the nature of which remains mostly unknown to the anthropomorphic creatures who have since inherited the world.

Hope Island is a relatively new MUCK, having been founded in September 2018, but has grown in popularity over that short span of time with a consistent crowd of 15-20 people most days. It has its own fully fledged website and integrated MediaWiki maintained by the playerbase, and uses Version 7.0 of the Fuzzball MUCK software and a mixture of ported MUF programs from other MUCKs as well as custom in-house programs uniquely suited to the environment. In general, the user interface is similar to that found on [[Tapestries MUCK]] although players generally have more freedom to use Fuzzball's features, such as the use of vehicles in-game.

== Summary ==

Hey, the world may be in tatters, civilization may have crumbled, but at least here, there’s hope. Hope Island MUCK, a new twist on a very old kind of game. Players arrive via boat to the settlement of Little Sands, one of the few towns with rudimentary power, water and food, and there they interact with their fellow settlers, build homes and shops, do business and interact socially. Intended as an open-world and free-form role-play environment, Hope Island is a place for both serious story-driven collaboration, or merely a social hangout within a post-apocalyptic background. It borrows from such works as Planet of the Apes, Mad Max, and Fallout, all within an anthropomorphic (furry) framework.

MUCK

2019-01-01T01:46:12Z

Sheridan: Added reference to Hope Island MUCK

A '''MUCK''' is an online [[role-playing]] game that is usually text-based and accessible through [[wikipedia:telnet|telnet]], as well as a variety of MUCK clients.

The actual expansion of the acronym ''MUCK'' is disputed, however some suggestions include:
* Multi User Created Kingdom
* Multi User Chat Kingdom
* Multi User Construction Kit

It has also been suggested that the word MUCK is a play on the word [[MUD]], or ''Multi User Dungeon'', a similar type of game platform that is more focused on a points based role playing system.

Each MUCK has its own sets of rules and policies. Some MUCKs allow [[player]]s to be [[Out Of Character]] (OOC) as much as they like, while others require them to be [[In Character]] (IC) more often, or always. Rules can vary in different areas of the MUCK.

Most MUCKs allow players to build. Creation might be restricted to simple objects, expanded to rooms and exits, or policy might allow for complex scripting. The creation and customization aspects of MUCK allow the player base to build a world.

The term "mucking" means playing on a MUCK.

==TinyMUCK Programming Languages==
*[[MPI]] - A macro expansion language used to make descriptions more dynamic, it has grown into a full fledged language on it's own.
*[[MUF]] - The original extension language introduced in TinyMUCK it is faster than MPI and commonly used for larger projects.

==Types of MUCK Servers==
*[[TinyMUCK]] - Original fork of [[TinyMUD]] that added the MUF programming language (as its most notable feature).
*[[FuzzBall MUCK]] - Current most popular TinyMUCK server that runs the two biggest servers.
* '''GlowMUCK''' - Fork of NeonMUCK. It allows for ANSI color and multiple [[wizard]] levels. [http://glowmuck.sourceforge.net/ GlowMuck's Support Home Page]

* '''NeonMUCK''' is a defunct MUCK project that was derived from a couple of lesser known derivatives of [[FuzzBall Muck]] 5.x - PuebloMUCK and RattyMUCK. Its primary feature was the addition of displaying ANSI color. [[GlowMUCK]] is a fork of NeonMUCK 1.x focusing more on stability and multi-platform compatibility. [[ProtoMUCK]] is derived from the NeonMUCK 2.x code and focuses on adding more extensive features such as additional prims, SSL and SQL support.

*'''ProtoMUCK''' is a [[MUCK]] server program that is the direct descendant of [[NeonMUCK]] 2.x which itself is derived from [[RattyMUCK]], [[PuebloMUCK]], and [[FuzzBall MUCK]]. It attempts to maintain software compatibility with them while adding features. These features include: extensive ANSI color support, multiple wizard levels, @gag support, file access primitives, and more. Proto also maintains partial compatibility with older [[GlowMUCK]] and [[NeonMUCK]] server software, including their style of ANSI color encoding.

ProtoMUCK developers include [[Akari]], [[Alynna]], [[Hinoserm]] and [[The Blob]]. The ProtoMUCK project has often placed an emphasis on developing and adding unique new features.

== Furry-themed MUCKs ==
''This is just a highlight - for a virtually complete list, see [[Rhal's Furry MU*s Connector]] or explore WikiFur's [[:Category:Multiplayer_worlds|multiplayer worlds category]].''

* [[FurryMUCK]] - The "original" MUCK for furries.
* [[FurToonia]] - For furries and cartoony characters alike, one of the oldest MUCKs.
* [[Sociopolitical Ramifications]] - A sci-fi furry MUCK, with 60-80 connections nightly.
* [[Tapestries MUCK]] - An adult-oriented MUCK with no human characters allowed. This is the largest furry-themed MUCK in terms of users, attaining about 800 connections at peak time.
* [[Flexible Survival]] - An adult-oriented MUCK. Focuses on transformation in a post-apocalyptic environment. Connections usually range from 70 to 130, with an all-time peak of 145.
* [[Hope Island MUCK]] - An adult-oriented post-apocalyptic themed MUCK based around community building and trade on the ruins of a former island settlement.
