External links modified (January 2018)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Merc (MUD). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070316122350/http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=files&cid=9 to http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=files&cid=9

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Incorrect Redirect

MUD is a far better redirect target for this article than an individual game - to an experienced MUD player, this smacks of an advertisement technique from the '90s. Additionally, the effect here is akin to redirecting a small software company's page to Microsoft, because they're a notable example of a software company.

I've also noticed that the same redirect was applied to multiple other games under the Merc tree (see MUD_trees) including ones that have no connection to the redirected article (compare AVATAR_(MUD)#Avatar's_position_within_the_MUD_trees). If I can get some consensus that this is indeed a bad set of redirects, I'll fix this and some others to point to MUD.
