After a VERY long search, I've found a copy of "The Isles".
"The Isles" is a DikuMUD based upon Merc, but even more modified than before.
It has online creation and something like 14 different races.
The online creation utiliy is among the best I've found.
I will upload it to Marble.bu.edu. If there is another site you'd like me to
upload it to, please tell me.

Ps : "The Isles" has NO documentation, so I wouldn't reccomend this as a first
time MUD.

obtain it via..anon ftp?...else this post was just an ego trip.

how can we know whether it is a good mud for us to work on...since we
can't seem to find it...sorry for my sarcastic tone...but I have been
searching for the source for a while...since I inadvertently deleted a
copy I had obtained....

Thanks!

No, it's not an ego trip, it's a chance for you to showcase your
inability to pay attention to detail. Right there, around line 5, it
says 'I will upload it to Marble.bu.edu' Hmm... since you know what anon
ftp is, maybe you could try

> ftp marble.bu.edu
