What the All the Weyrs List is
The All the Weyrs List is, first and foremost, a collection of dragon names used on the various Pern MUDs which have been around since 1990 or so. The original purpose was to keep names from being re-used. Keeping track of what every other game was doing in the heyday (when there may have been 30 or more games open at the same time) would have been almost impossible without some central registry, as it were. Since its inception in 1991 or 1992, the list has served that purpose.
The ATWL serves several secondary purposes as well. It generally has up-to-date site information and URLs for games which are open. It can be used by games to supplement their records. History buffs can find anything from the newest generation of dragons from a certain lineage, to trends in hatchings beginning from some of the very first. Its primary goal, however, is to help keep the names as unique as possible. There is no rule against re-using dragon names, but it seems as if an overwhelming majority of riders like the idea of their dragon being the only one with its name.
