GodWars is a MUD engine derived from Merc,^[1] created in 1995^[2] by Richard Woolcock, better known in the MUD community as "KaVir".^[3]

One of the earliest GodWars derivatives was Vampire Wars, created in October 1995, which won the October 1998 Mud of the Month award at The Mud Connector.^[4]

In 1996 the code was illegally posted and advertised on a website for free download.^[5]

God Wars II

In 2002, Woolcock has written a new MUD engine named God Wars II, which has been described by an article on linux.com as "simply astonishing in its complexity".^[6]
