I want a Dark Sun game that isn't a) a MUD or b) house ruled so heavily as to be practically unrecognizable or c) using some weird alternate history theme.

Just straight Dark Sun, at whatever point in the timeline.

This. I used to play the hell out of Armageddon MUD waaaay back in the 90's early oughts. Would love to see a true Dark Sun MUSH to play on now. With work and a kid I AFK for brief moments too much to play on a MUD where perm-death can happen whether you're at the screen or not.

I did some roleplaying in CompuServe's CB Simulator back in the early 90's and played around with Barren Realms Elite and LORD on a local BBS. Once my tiny Iowa town got an ISP I discovered ArmageddonMUD via a place called ISCABBS.

Discovered MUSHing when I was poking around on the web after starting to play VtM in a tabletop group.

@ThatOneDude Is ESO really that good on PS4? I almost picked it up, but grabbed Witcher 3 instead.

Hmm, so maybe add a port of the old door game Trade Wars?

I would play the shit out of this or Barren Realms Elite the MU. Or L.O.R.D. Crap. Now I have to go find a place that still has door games up and running.

@Cirno Ha. I thought GeoCities as well when I saw that site.

Looking at their prices you'd probably be better served going with Digital Ocean like Faraday mentioned, @Lilli. For a dollar more than their lowest priced plan you'd get a VPS to yourself where you can install whatever you need to.

Pretty decent tips, though I disagree with running SSH on a non-standard port. If somebody wants to try to get in, nmap is going to find it on that other port anyway. Plus moving it to a port above 1024 also takes away the safety net of knowing SSH was properly started by root since any user can start a service above 1024.

Install fail2ban and leave ssh on 22, imo.

It's not the 20th Anniversary edition (mildly hopeful it gets added later) but you can get nearly every Revised V:tM book for $15 on Humble Bundle right now.
