I just found this earlier, and thought it might be interesting to a few of you... FL's existence is not meant to be offensive to Abandoned Realms in any way. This land is merely a product of five men's efforts to create their own perfect mud, and to improve upon what has already been done. If you would like to seek more information on the origins of The Forsaken Lands we suggest you do so at http://abandonedrealms.net. <94hp 61m 124mv>
The Forsaken Lands would never have come into existence if it were not for the existence of The Abandoned Realms and its predecessor Carrion
Fields. The CF code has been largely responsible for all of the good player killing muds that have arisen, and was largely responsible for the beginning success of AR. Likewise, FL stems largely from AR. The Implimentors feel that it is only right to acknowledge all of the hard work the Abandoned Realms implimentors put forth in creating their fine mud, and some of the code which we now use.
