MOO Servers
LambdaMOOThe official LambdaMOO server. (Old SourceForge page) [Local copy is 1.8.1]Local Copy
Stunt Server [Git]Adds multiple inheritance, a native ordered map datatype, JSON parsing, new cryptographic operations, and probably more by the time you read this. [Local copy is release 8. Downloaded 6/9/12]Local Copy
GammaMOOA work-in-progress to 'modernize' the LambdaMOO server. [Local copy is 1.8.1g3r1]Local Copy
LambdaMOO+fooNo experience. Local copy is several years old and of unknown versioning.Local Copy
WinMOOAn antiquated port of the LambdaMOO server to Windows. You would achieve better results with cygwin.Local Copy
MacGoesMOOAn old Macintosh MOO server. Hosted locally as I have no other sources to point to.Help
WaverousA fork of the LambdaMOO server aiming, among other things, to utilize C++ and add a number of compile-time addon features.Local Copy
HellCore ServerThe server provided with HellCore. Contains hashes, profiling, and other game-related modifications. [Local copy is 1.10.4]Local Copy
EtaMOOA reimplementation of the LambdaMOO server in Haskell. Features multi-threading, LMDB database storage, 64-bit integers, and more. Compatible with LambdaMOO databases. [Local copy is 0.3.0.0]Local Copy

MOO Core Databases
LambdaCoreThe LambdaCore database. Includes the basics for getting started. My personal choice. [Local copy is May 17, 2004.]Local Copy
JHCore (Old Sourceforge Project)Based off of LambdaCore, this core includes several enhancements in pronoun substitution, the building system, virtual furniture and other niceties, MCP, modules, and many others. The link to the left is a live core extraction from Waterpoint. You will need a character.Local Copy
enCore (Sourceforge Project)An educational MOO core.Local Copy
RPGCoreA core with features needed for those creating Role Playing Games similar to MUDs.Local Copy
GhostCoreA core centered around RPG. (I think.)Local Copy
Hero CoreRPG database built from minimal.db. (Formerly Murpg)Local Copy
HellCoreA core database extracted from HellMOO. Bundled with server source.Local Copy
FooCoreI really have no experience with this one. The local copy is 1.1 beta, which is of an indeterminate age.Local Copy
Minimal.dbThe absolute minimum available. Three objects, two verbs. The link to the left is the local copy.Readme
GondolinCoreNot certain what it actually is. This copy is from around 2003. Supplementary material came from the original FTP.Supplementary Material
SyrinniaCoreAgain, not certain what it is. This copy is also from 2003.Local Copy
LiverpoolCoreThis was with Gondolin and Syrinnia. No idea what it is, but it's circa 2003.Local Copy

Server Extensions and Patches
Sourceforge Patches PageA collection of patches, some of dubious utility, that have been submitted to the LambdaMOO project page.Local Copy
FUP 1.9File Utilities Package, which allows direct file access from within a MOO.Local Copy
File I/O 1.5p3 PatchA patch that fixes several issues with FIO 1.5p1, most noticable being a crash in readlines(). The full changelog is included in the patch.Local Copy
File I/O 1.5p1File I/O patch to allow file manipulation from within a MOO. It's recommended to apply the patch above if you intend to use readlines().Local Copy
Martian's MOO ExtensionsHosts the following: Martian's extensions (logical xor, us_time, proc_size, nprogs, random_of, enlist, explode, panic, isa), ext-lists.c (list manipulation functions), ext-gdbm.c (a disk-based version of $generic_db), ext-zlib.c (zlib compression).Local Copy
MOOSQLFunctions for accessing SQL databases from in-MOO. [Local copy is v1.0]Local Copy
WAIF DatatypeA WAIF is a datatype that is essentially a smaller, faster version of an object. The author's website has much more insight. [Local copy is 0.95]Local Copy
ehMOO3-D Graphical Extension to the LambdaMOO Server.Local Copy
MOO Source-Level DebuggerProvides an interface for in-MOO source-level debugging.Local Copy
Sub-second Fork/SuspendA diff for adding sub-second forking and suspending into 1.8.3.Local Copy
