# Ninetears / Ninetears

> slug: `ninetears` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40241`

A Spanish-language LPMud, also known as Driade / FFICMUD, run by "Alex" ("Tyrael") in the early 2000s, built on a Final Realms mudlib base with substantial custom changes. A real, substantial multi-year archive with dozens of wizard-built home areas and a large domain tree covering Urghak, Faeleen, Keroon, Asgard, Ishtar, Serkesh, and more, alongside several guild systems including trolls, khurgars, chaos barbarians, and jade knights. New characters register (name confirmation, password, gender) and are born into "Plano Inmaterial" (the Immaterial Plane), a soul-formation antechamber room framing character creation as a literal act of spiritual birth before the soul enters the physical world. Player and staff rank in this world carries its own in-game titling lineage -- ordinary mortals, then ascending ranks named after demigods (semidioses), lords, thanes, patrons, regents, and finally the gods (dioses) themselves. The archive also ships an in-game FTP-like file-transfer feature via a listening network service.

## Run natively with FluffOS

1. Build a current FluffOS driver from https://github.com/fluffos/fluffos
   (native `build` / `build-debug`; see that repo's docs).
2. Download and unzip `ninetears.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/ninetears/`).
3. From the unzipped lib directory, ensure `config.fluffos` points
   `mudlib directory` at this tree (the checked-in file may contain a
   maintainer-local absolute path — edit it to your extract path).
4. Start the driver:

```bash
/path/to/fluffos/build/src/driver config.fluffos
```

5. Connect a UTF-8 MUD client to `127.0.0.1:40241`.

- Admin / wizard login: see this lib's README (no seeded account recorded)
- If you host this on a public network, change the published default
  admin password before opening the port.
