Honors and Encomiums

Herein one may peruse various Honors and other Praise bestowed upon our realm; our Humility prevents us from proclaiming too Loudly the Wonders found in the Realms of Legend, but that does not prevent Others from Occasionally writing brief Notices.

The following have seen Fit to offer some measure of Recognition to either Legend or this Humble Site:

	r/MUD/ 'Let's MUD!' Winner May 2017!
	Mud of the Month, October 1995, The Mud Connector The Mud Connector is the Internet's premier list of muds, offering links to hundreds of muds and their web pages, as well as discussion boards, a search engine, and many resources.
	This page was named a Top Ten Site for Interactive Fiction by XYZZYNews. XYZZYNews was the Internet's 'zine for Interactive Fiction, perhaps better known as text adventures in the Infocom tradition. Every issue they selected ten sites they feel are valuable resources for those looking for a puzzle to solve.
	Legend was one of five Pueblo Recommended Worlds. Chaco's Pueblo was the Internet's premier VRML and virtual world client. We Were fortunate to be one of the few muds they recommended even though we do not support the various VRML and HTML extensions that their client did.
	An EyeOnTheWeb Selected Site Award winner. Unlike most web directories, EyeOnTheWeb only listed sites they considered had met specific standards for listing. We were fortunate to be one of only six muds listed there.
	We were The Electronic Newsstand's MudGate's Mud of the Week for six months. Although this service is now defunct (and the gopher technology is not likely to be resurrected!) it was our very first award, and we took pride in it. "If you're only going to visit one mud, make it Legend," was what they said; you can read the entire review in the back issues of The Legendary Times.
	One of a dozen MUDs listed by the Australian Net Guide. The Australian Net Guide listed a selection of sites that they had determined would be of interest to their users. Perhaps a large contingent of Australian players convinced them to list us.
	One of seven muds recommended by CNET "Know what you're getting into when you choose a MU*, and be prepared to involve yourself, whether by living out your elfin fantasies, zooming around like Speed Racer, or building and exploring. If role-playing is what your alter ego has been craving, check out AnimeMUSH, which celebrates Japanese-style animation, or Legend, a realistic history-based game with famously helpful players."
	Listed as one of 20 recommended muds in the print version of the Internet Yellow Pages.
	A top-ranked MUD according to Yahoo!'s Wild Web Rides Not only was Legend ranked at the top of their temperature scale, as "hot, hip, cutting-edge, a must-see," but they also said the following: "This is travel through history the way it was meant to be! ... You'll want to explore all the areas of this great MUD... skills available are numerous and original... combat is fast and exhilarating... It would be really nice if more coders took the immense time and effort to study cultures of the past and put them into virtual worlds like this one."
	Harley Hahn's Internet & Web Yellow Pages, listed us second on the list of muds that he recommends.
