History of Website[]
Having played Creatures since 1997, Mummy (the author of Mummy's Creatures) started her website on 20 June 1999. The design looked completely different from the current one and there were of course only two sections: one for Creatures 1 (just a page with norns to download) and one for Creatures 2 with a breed list, norns, COBs, a name list for norns as well as already a very large link list.
Creatures 3 appeared on the market at the beginning of 2000, and soon Mummy's Creatures opened a third section to cater for it.
In May 2000, as Mummy realised that her site was known already to a bigger audience than just the German Creatures Community, the English section was opened and some of the content of the German section got translated.
As the site now grew big and bigger, the site's navigation got more and more confusing, therefore Mummy decided that the site needed a major update. She fused somewhat the previously separated Creatures sections and made the navigation easier. This design held out for 2 years, and in 2002 with all the new breeds, events, norns, informations etc. the site had already grown to more than 200 pages. The site then underwent another redesign showing the now actual outlook.
The full history of Mummy's Creatures can be read (in German) on the website: history of Mummy's Creatures (babelfish translation)
