Why you might like it

  • Text presentation allows unusually detailed politics, role-playing and world interaction without limiting systems to what can be graphically animated.
  • Player-run cities and guilds make elections, diplomacy, conflict and reputation meaningful parts of long-term identity.
  • Browser, telnet and dedicated MUD-client access keep the persistent world available across many computers without a large installation.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • A command-driven interface has a steep learning curve for players unfamiliar with MUD abbreviations, aliases and scrolling text.
  • The small established community can make politics and competitive combat difficult to enter without mentorship.
  • Optional paid benefits and veteran knowledge can create substantial gaps between a new character and long-term competitors.
