Introduction to the first 3K OMP (June 20-21, 1998):

Mudders from all over the world converged at the Comfort Inn, in Fairfax, VA for the first Three Kingdoms Official Mud Party. Held on the weekend of June 20-21st, the 3K OMP involved over 150 people, from players to wizards and their friends who showed up to enjoy the festivities. For many of these people, they had only know each other via the text based MUD, and so meeting each other face to face was quite a joy (or surprise).

The night's entertainment consisted of games, such as a scavenger hunt and a word puzzles, to a prize raffle and a "best buns" competion, judged by the ladies. Prizes from the games and raffles ranged from bonus stats and quest points to a zip drive and free games.

A good time was had by all, and already plans are being laid for the second 3K Official Mud Party ... keep July 1999 open, and stay tuned!
