     <desc>Approaching two decades as one of the internet's premier MUDs!</desc>
     <desc>Welcome friend! Come immerse yourself in one of the largest and most advanced online games in existence. With thousands of players, tens of thousands of rooms, hundred of areas, dozens of quests and a billion possibilities, 3Kingdoms offers you endless worlds of adventure!</desc>
     <desc>Simple enough to learn, yet complex enough to challenge you for years, 3Kingdoms is a colossal adventure through which many years of active and continued development by its dedicated coding staff has grown to be one of the best MUDs you will ever play.</desc>
     <desc>Based around the mighty town of Pinnacle, three main realms beckon the player to explore. These kingdoms are known as: Fantasy, a vast medieval realm full of orcs, elves, dragons, and a myriad of other creatures; Science, a post-apocalyptic, war-torn world set in the not-so-distant future; and Chaos, a transient realm where the enormous realities of Fantasy and Science collide to produce creatures so bizarre that they have yet to be categorized.</desc>
     <desc>During their exploration of the realms, players have the opportunity to join any of well over a dozen different guilds. These guilds, like the Knights, Necromancers and Juggernauts and many others, allow the player to become part of a powerful team and gives them a place to socialize with other players. Guilds also grant special, unique powers to the player, furthering their abilities as they explore the vast expanses of each realm. Add in the comprehensive skill system that 3K offers and you are able to customize your characters more than anywhere else.</desc>
     <desc>3Kingdoms combines all these features, and so much more, to give the player an experience that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.  Come live the adventure and find out for yourself why 3K is the best there is!</desc>

You haven't bathed in weeks, through the stench on your own body you catch the scent of whatever it is breathing on your matted hair. An animal, but what kind? What size? How mutated?? You better react, like it would matter at this point, if it did matter, you'd be dead.</desc>
     <desc>Letters flash across your vision, assured that your power assisted leggings are charged you flip a twist through the air facing the unknown creature. Rifle on hip, you fire off a clip of 308 rounds in the general direction of the shadow ending the encounter with a thud of it's carcass hitting the desert sands.</desc>
     <desc>Flipping on your combat light reveals it to be a mutated desert yak, you were lucky this time...</desc>
     <desc>The year is around 2100, no one knows the exact year. The war has been over for 75 years yet your war is just starting. You'll have the equipment to make it happen, if you work hard enough. But will you have the guts? You're not in midgaard anymore, you won't find that city here. You'll find nothing familiar here, you're in a new world, a blasted world, and you're all alone. Better find a few friends or you're screwed. Can't be solo and hope to survive much longer, Armalite or not.</desc>
     <desc>Do you have what it takes? Put your money where your mouth is.</desc>
     <desc>Guns, Biogrades, interactive mobiles, original classes, 15000 original 'freeworld' rooms. The only 'stock' parts that remain are the major fight engines and help system to ensure you can hit the ground running day 1.</desc>
     <desc>From the pull of your chainsaw cord, or the blast from your assault rifle.. you'll notice nothing else familiar. Better stock up on friends, and ammo!</desc>

     <desc>Here's an example of one of our combat rounds: You jump up and tuck, letting Scarlock's push kick shoot under you. You deliver a left semi-circular high kick, the instep of your foot connecting with Scarlock's head. Scarlock tosses his head backwards, evading your crescent kick by a fraction. Scarlock snaps his left leg forward hard, slamming it into your midriff. You snap your right elbow viciously into Scarlock's nose. You throw a right roundhouse punch impacting solidly with Scarlock's jaw, making him spit blood! Scarlock blocks your chop with his forarm and jabs you in the face with his free hand. You duck under Scarlock's cross-jab and punch him in the stomach with your right fist, making him cough blood! You smash Scarlock's feeble attack out of the way and taking a powerful step forward you kick him square in the chest sending him flying. Scarlock goes hurtling through the air to the south. Scarlock hits the ground hard. You walk in after him.</desc>

     <desc>Established in 1996, Aardwolf has grown to be a highly popular MUD with several hundred players online at any given time. Featuring a line of sight overhead map, a realistic game world and exploration rankings, Aardwolf is the perfect mud for explorers.</desc>
     <desc>There are 7 high level classes split into 28 subclasses such as enchanters, barbarians, shaman, assassin, etc. Many quests and side games provide entertaining distractions and there is a very active MUD community. Stats actually matter and there are many ways to build your character based on your preferences and style of play.</desc>
     <desc>Real Player killing is optional and restricted (mostly) to clans. There are plenty of other ways to test your skills against others however.</desc>
     <desc>The areas are highly developed. Aardwolf features over 100,000 lines of Lua based area scripts to entertain, challenge and amuse.</desc>
     <desc>As you would expect from a well established MUD, there are many many features. The best introduction to Aardwolf is to drop by and check out our new Academy - an extensive tutorial and quest area. The academy was referred to by one of our newer players as \"The most advanced mud school they have ever seen\".</desc>
     <desc>One thing Aardwolf is not - a serious roleplaying MUD. If that is your preference there are many other fine MUDs for you to try. Our focus is on being a fun place to play, to be challenged when you want to be and take it easy when you don't. Non MUD related chat is not \"tolerated\", it is welcomed. It is, after all, a community.</desc>

A few desperate exiles found shelter in the distant Sunset Isles, only to face the savage hordes of native goblinoids. Through merciless warfare, mighty sorceries, and more than a passing share of luck, their descendants have managed to carve a home out of those far shores. Yet the Red Tide remains and the goblins grow stronger in their western mountains, waiting for the hour to take back what they have lost....</desc>
     <desc>Red Tides MUX is a new MUX using the Open Gaming License provided by Wizards of the Coast.

Whether fighting the goblin warbands that raid the human lands, rooting out nefarious Tide Cults, exploring abandoned dwarven holds, or gaming for power in the Mandarin's court, players strive to find places fit for heroes.</desc>

We are finally finished our three month long (and very effective) beta testing period.  We are a hack and slash medieval fantasy MUD, with a modest but polished two thousand room world.  We have fourteen classes, split over two factions (light and dark) and four races.  We run moderated PK and our code is based on a heavily modified CircleMUD 3.1.  We are extremely stable, and haven't had an unresolved crash yet.  We offer 100 challenging mortal levels, but the ladder is very difficult to climb -- so don't expect to get to get to level 100 too fast!  We celebrate our launch with a pwipe to level the playing field for everyone.  So this is your chance to show up first and win the race to the top!</desc>

We want a MUD where people can enjoy themselves and other aspects of the mud, without compromising gameplay.  Gameplay to us is having rich themes to our areas, various creatures that talk to players instead of just sitting around, and well balanced race/classes.</desc>
     <desc>We have an extended help file system, a newbie chat for those unfamiliar with this kind of MUD, and plenty of friendly imms willing to answer your questions.  There are 16 races and 16 classes each unique with their advantages and disadvantages.  New races and classes are consistently being added and the old ones refined to preserve gameplay. There are also seven cabals, with plans to add more in the future.</desc>
     <desc>We enforce roleplaying here, we like to see players who have unique backgrounds, enjoy being memorable characters, and in turn,  meeting other memorable characters.  We also have mob runned quests that will improve certain aspects of your character.</desc>
     <desc>Although we do encourage player killing, we also discourage senseless slaughter.  We have refined the gameplay so that brains will win over brawn because nobody likes boring hack and slash.  We test our pk ranges thoroughly for fairness. If you enjoy roleplaying in a complex and vast world mixed with the thrills of playerkilling then Abandoned Realms is for you.</desc>

     <desc>Legends of the Jedi has a unique, user-friendly account system that allows our players garnish points from events, special quests, exemplary role playing, and the character's death (perm). Players may then use those points to purchase special races, and levels for new characters.</desc>

     <desc>Better then to look ahead towards the goals. Esforonin is aimed at becoming a combat-oriented MUD with the usual sense of achievement through bettering ones skills and equipment. However, Esforonin will also truly encourage roleplaying and storytelling by offering strong coded support for such activities, aswell as hoping to raise a staff dedicated in this direction.</desc>

     <desc>Shamus has finally graduated, and so after a long sabbatical, we are resuming work on Covenant MUD. We are looking for writers interested in helping us continue to build a detailed and atmospheric world. Our central city, Tierceron, is so large it is really a city-state rather than just a city. (For implementors, this means we've got a city with over 1,200 rooms!) Even though the city is very large, we emphasize quality over quantity and strive for originality in everything we implement--from the races and classes to the zones themselves. We highly encourage role-playing, and we do not cater to the lowest common denominator. This isn't to say we are not newbie-friendly, but we are geared toward advanced players. The realm of Covenant is taking shape and we are accepting builders who can write quality, high-impact zones!</desc>
     <desc>We have reverse-engineered and implemented a 'realspace' overworld system similar to what you would find in a BattleTech MUX. Travel between areas has been implemented using a navigation system complete with overland ANSI maps. You set your heading, and how fast you wish to travel (walk, jog, run, or canter, trot, gallop if you are mounted). You can track your progress using various navigation commands. The realspace system adds a genuine sense of distance to the overworld and nicely foils speedwalkers!</desc>

     <desc>** MOVED TO FASTER HOST NOV 2006 ** 207.36.179.112 ** The Abysmal Realms MUD is a Roleplaying/Playerkilling MUD derived from ROM2.4 code.  The Realms opened to the public May 1st, 1997 and has grown steadily since then. Those accustomed to ROM playing will be pleased with the enhancements we've made while still retaining the best of the ROM 'look and feel'. Realism, attention to detail and enhanced user interface have been our top priorities.  The focal point of Abysmal Realms is our clan system. Those new to Role Play will find it natural to fall into RP mode because of the distinct personalities and purposes of each clan. We find best role players often prove to be the first time mudders! We have a clan that is dedicated to life and helping those that are inexperienced learn. Again, you can visit our web site for info on the clans. Though PK is supported, it is judged by strict standards of appropriateness within the RP context maintained here.  We have user-selectable ANSI color, many spam reducing features, and questmasters available for questing anytime. The mud is served by a conscientious and talented staff of immortals. We also have an mprog driven economy, where many things are 'made' by mobs, and we are striving to include every item in the realms in a like manner. Watch as items are picked, gathered, or mined and then processed into foods, weapons, armors, and potions. WE HAVE NOT HAD A PWIPE SINCE OPENING, and do not plan on one in the future.

     <desc>Age of Dragons was originally created in 1996. Since that time the MUD has gone through many changes in order to improve the original world we have created. We now have over 150 zones throughout the MUD, along with three major cities that players of all different alignments call home.</desc>
     <desc>Some of the code we use on Age of Dragons includes a memorization system, where players actually memorize their spells instead of using mana, detailed descriptions for players so that they can customize their characters to the fullest extent, an introduction system which allows players to pick and choose which players they wish to be associated with, and an approval system for new characters that ensures only players with appropriate descriptions and names will be a part of our world.</desc>
     <desc>Numerous different skills and spells from the original and new age of Dungeons and Dragons have been included for players to have at their disposal, we offer eight different races, and eleven different classes to choose from.</desc>
     <desc>Age of Dragons is a MUD like no other. Our originality, ability to obtain unique objects through quests, and rewards for good roleplaying will make Age of Dragons your newest addiction.</desc>
     <desc>Happy MUDding, and good luck to you all.</desc>

     <desc>AAW is an ever evolving MUD, many new and unique features have been coded into the game. Most MUDS have mprogs, but how many out there offer substantial oprogs and rprogs, so that objects and even rooms can interact with you and your characters actions? We also have an extensive pet system. Pets can be leveled, wear EQ and even have custom names and descriptions.  We also RDL (Room Description Langue) which allows builders the ability to make it so that room descriptions (and other things) say one thing in daytime and another at night, or to have descriptions in the different languages of the realm. MSP (Mud Sound Protocol) is in and many of our areas now have their own .midi files attached to enhance the play experience.  AAW offers many races and classes, with more to come. All characters are dual classed so that you get all spells/skills from your primary class and s/s up to level 30 in your second class, yielding an immense range of possible combinations.  New original areas are constantly in development, and our aim is at having totally original world one day! At the time being we are half way there.</desc>

We are currently lacking in the volume of areas of many MUDs so we are activly looking for anyone interested in building, or coding.</desc>

     <desc>We pride ourselves in bringing a game with integrity, stamina and honesty to our players. Our channels are free of cursing and the environment is friendly. Our players are helpful and enjoy aiding new players. Our immortal staff is talented, experienced and dedicated. Many of the staff have been part of AU for over 5 years.</desc>
     <desc>Adventures Unlimited is not a cookie cutter rom based mud. The development has been focused not on what other muds provide to their players but instead on the path that AU occupies alone. The land of Tharel has been developed continuously throughout the years of the existing of AU. It has gone from a completely stock world with no original areas to 75% original with over 10,000 rooms.</desc>
     <desc>AU continues to develop and evolve. Our website contains logs of all of our changes made from 2001 to the present day. The vast amount of work shows our longterm dedication to the game and the player base.  We have high player satisfaction and provide a quality and fun product to our players.</desc>

     <desc>It's called Unknown Epicentres, or UEI for short.  Yeah, the acronym has more letters than it should.  We saved enough on server rent that we were able to afford an extra vowel.  UEI is a quasi-private social MUCK that started as a sort of moving away from the overwhelming furry populations of most MUCKs.  We wanted more style and intelligence in our conversations and chillspaces and less in the way of yiffing and scritching.  So it's pretty small and personal.  RP is possible and encouraged but there hasn't been a whole lot taking place yet.  Right now it's just a laundromat for slackers to hang out in and talk about.. stuff.  Also illustrators are very welcome.  Yeah.  Cor, what a crummy description for a muck.  If you think this sounds at all interesting, have a see of the abortive web page.  If you're still there, drop a line via email and we'll talk.  Notice:  The address and port of UEI are intentionally unlisted.  Once you've contacted the admins and your account has been made you will be furnished with connection information.</desc>

     <desc>Our mud is a complex and 'real' fantasy world. We encourage roleplay, though we don't enforce it. The tuneable global channel may be used only for newbie related questions. There are no levels in the mud. You gain experience by improving your skills, solving quests or by exploring new places rather than by killing the same monster repeatedly. It is a unique blend of a hack &amp; slash and a roleplaying mud. You really live in the world, it is not just theatrical roleplay. There are many features that keep you busy exploring, so you won't fall back to boring hack and slash routine. Mud features: 20+ open guilds. Most of these guilds are led by players so admission in a guild is not always automatic. Complex monetary system. 20 playable races with their own language. About 120 spells and 90+ different skills. Unknown characters will be seen by their appearance rather than names. Team system supports back row for spellcasters and archers. Weather. Overland map. Combat includes bleeding, unconsciousness, breaking or severing of limbs. Special races: flying races, water breathing races etc. and a lot more. 60+ unique quests (not autoquests). Numerical values are shown as text or displayed by bars. Players are entitled for detailed character generation after they have already spent some time playing the game. Detailed character generation includes a background story which could be standard or player supplied. Players can own houses with saved equipment. Crafts include forging, carving and tailoring.</desc>

     <desc>Welcome to Rifts: Chronicles of Kingsdale. A MUSH set in the popular RPG of Rifts. A cyberpunk game set some time after the initial collapse of civilization, magic and technology flourish and compete. North America is dominated by the Evil Coalition States, human supremacists who believe that the only way to guarantee the safety of mankind is the complete destruction of everything non-human or magic.</desc>
     <desc>The MUSH itself is set in the city of Kingsdale – an oasis of personal liberty, science and racial tolerance that is surrounded on three sides by the Coalition. Chronicles promises intricate and carefully woven story and many opportunities for personal development and advancement. In-character politics, investigation, research and experimentation are not just encouraged, but essential and the administration pride themselves on creating an environment where role play is the only essential 'ability'. The careful, quiet scientist is able to take on just as much of a role in our plots as the hulking warrior or the shifty mage. At Chronicles, brains count for as much as brawn.</desc>
     <desc>Feel the tingle along your spine as a the shadow of a vampire slips past in the darkness. Soar a thousand meters over monster-laden forests in your flying power armor, ever alert for threats to the helpless people far below. Experience the power of magic as you open yourself to a ley line. Know fear as you stare into the cold, unblinking mechanical eyes of a full conversion cyborg. Discover that friendship is not diminished by race, creed, or profession. Feel pride as you stand for one of the few bastions of 'good' that in North America. Above all, feel liberated as you let your imagination run free.</desc>
     <desc>This is Rifts: Chronicles of Kingsdale, and we invite you to explore our story with us</desc>

Player Killing is limited in such that if you are player killed by another person, they may only loot *one* item from your corpse.</desc>

     <desc>Age of the Ancients is a mud attepting to be based on a Dungeons and Dragons theme. We have 2 staff with 10+ years of D &amp; D playing experience, as well as many immortals with such experience.  Our mud has been developed extensively, 6 months of development has produced a rock stable, realistic challengeing code. Our mud offers much realism, as that is one of my highest priority's. AoA has a nice mix of social RPG and hack and slash aspects. It is RECOMMENDED FOR EXPERIENCED PLAYERS! Aota keeps players coming back with its mix of crazy areas, as well as a wide variety of classes and races to choose from.  We keep our players guessing, thus increasing the overall experience of them mud. Almost all of the mud has been rewritten, to suit the realism factor. We seek a good staff of builders as well, as our style of mud is slightly more high-powered than your everyday mud.</desc>

     <desc>Age of the Throne is unique MUD in more ways than one, we have written the game from scratch using our very own programming language and we have also aimed for a theme found nowhere else in the Gaming World. Set in fashionable 17th Century Paris the game evokes and emulates the period of History that saw King Louis XIII on the throne of France, Cardinal Richelieu as Head of the Church and the constant rivalries that ensued between the Kings Musketeers and The Cardinals Guard.  The locations within the game are replicated from original maps of the time.</desc>
     <desc>As our programming language does not restrict us we are free to implement many original and interesting features into the Gameworld.  The Combat, Movement and Skills systems featured are like none other.  Progression in the game is attainable by many routes other than tireless questing for points.</desc>
     <desc>The Age of the Throne website has recently had a professional makeover and now boasts many useful pages and resources to help the newcomer to quickly acclimatise into this unique gaming environment.</desc>
     <desc>Age of the Throne employs a full time programmer allowing us to add new features to the game on a weekly basis as well as promptly responding to queries and bug reports.</desc>

     <desc>Now in its 13th successful year, Age of War has received several major code changes throughout the years, with a lot of these being unique to the realm. AOW currently permits you to select from one of fourteen races, with each race having its own special attribute modifiers. Some races will therefore be better suited for one of the eight professions or classes than others. Your base class will also effect what remort class you get, if you should choose to remort. AOW is also home to several logical, maze and hack-n-slash style zones, 97 percent of which are unique. Those zones that have stock area names have been severely modified.</desc>
     <desc>Some of the unique features of AOW include:</desc>
     <desc>* Full clan support. * A lose nothing, gain nothing arena. * Clan halls w/ restricted access and saved treasuries. * Automatic auctioning system. * A 24 class remort system. * Two huge continents and several small islands. * 103 zones with 9800+ rooms, 3300+ unique mobs, and 5300+ unique objects. * A huge 10-zone skyway which allows travel by air. * Massive flowing river systems that allow travel by boat. * A vast ocean only accessible only by ship. * 4 hometowns on the mainland. * A stagecoach offering travel to 3 of the different hometowns of the mainland. (Great for beginners) * Two hometowns within a huge new continent. * Several in-zone mini-quests. * Low-Level Autoquests. * Mid to Top Level Autoquests. * Unique holiday questing zones each filled with several mini-quests. * A fully automated newbie guide giving complete tours to newcomers. * A Unique newbie zone with special newbie equipment. * A Dueling area for Player Killing.</desc>
     <desc>* New Stuff * * Vandric Harbor Addition!

We have always prided ourselves on being truly unique with our gaming experience and design. We also have the richest history and storyline of any mud that is out there. Our shortened roleplay history is 40 pages long, giving players the ability to truly see the timeline and progression of the game. We have just finished a 1 year long rewrite of the code to create a truly unique gaming experience. Our two imps have a combined 29 years of mud design experience and can trace their mudding roots back to some of the original muds of the late 80s and early 90s. If that is not enough to convince you to check us out, just go through our character creation and you will be hooked by the flexibility and wide array of paths a character can go down. We are currently rebuilding the player base now after 2 years of construction, so get in now and become part of the history and lore.

     <desc>posMUD offers a variety of unique experiences that cannot be found anywhere else. * The staff codes and builds on a regular basis, improving the MUD and making it more enjoyable for the players; this is on top of an already mostly original, as well as large, world and class system. The staff and players are also friendly and willing to tend to new players' questions and concerns. * Gone are the days of spending hours leveling; posMUD is based solely on PK and competition. All characters begin on the highest mortal level, are given 3 newbie hours to practice their chosen class's skills and acquire basic equipment, and then are free to duke it out with other players as they see fit. The MUD is highly balanced, with a variety of different classes to choose from, each with distinct skills and spells, creating a unique experience each time you start a new character. * Players can also join cabals, groups of players that work together for a cause, for protection, and are given special cabal- restricted abilities. Cabals are headed by an leader chosen by proving their worth and responsibility, and are given many political privileges such as allegiances and war with other cabals. * The world as it stands is quite large, with over 8000 rooms, over 90 areas, and a plethora of items, equipments, and powerful non- player opponents to vanquish. Certain items are limited to a preselected number to give players something to strive to acquire, whether it is from the item's original holder or another player. * There are also rare rewards for superior players, such as useful quest skills and tattoos, symbols of immortals that grant players a powerful special ability. All of these things blend together to give the posMUD a very unique, entertaining, and addictive feel, to the new and old player alike.</desc>

     <desc>Almaren is a derivation of the ancient (and alas, dead) DikuMUD of Eltanin, which saw it's day in 1991-1992.</desc>
     <desc>Almaren was designed to support human interaction in the form of quests and player killing.  We recognize that killing monsters is, simply put, trivial, and that phase of playing the game is to be taken merely to learn the MUD in preparation for participating in quests and acquiring better (limited!) equipment through PK.</desc>
     <desc>There are 7 distinct classes.  Class lines are not now, and never will be blurred by multiclassing or by sharing too many skills.  Mages are mages, and Warriors are warriors.</desc>
     <desc>Equipment exists in both random, and standard limited form. This allows (and in fact, encourages) healthy PK to exist to circulate item's such as the Goblin King's crystal shard, and Miko's titanium ring.  Randomly created equipment is well distributed throughout the world such that one is not required to compete for the limiteds if desired.</desc>

     <desc>Ancient Anguish received the prestigious MudConnector \"Mud of the Month\" award in November 1995.</desc>
     <desc>One of the things that really sets Ancient Anguish apart is its commitment to both balance and diversity. Each race, class and guild is genuinely unique, every combination providing the player with a different set of strategies and perspective of the world. While the necromancers raise one of their many powerful undead minions to annihilate anything that stands in their way, rangers prefer to raise a wolf from a pup as a lifelong companion that will eventually grow to enormous proportions! There's no end to the amount of strategies you can use to enjoy the game, and you'll play for years trying all of them out.</desc>
     <desc>But our engaging gameplay is only the beginning.  Ancient Anguish is an open ended story, a fantasy novel come to life, a perfect place to escape from reality. An adventurer weary of hack and slash can relax in a posh restaurant, fish for giant squids in the ocean, engage in a game of trivia, plant and nurture unique herbs, woo sultry exotic dancers in hidden desert cities or compete in an elf tossing contest. The possibilities are endless! Ancient Anguish is not just a mindless treadmill to run on, it is a magical world waiting to be explored.</desc>
     <desc>So if you're looking for a place to cure your bloodlust, a wonderful and beautifully described place to explore, or just a friendly game of chess, AA is the place for you. Join us at anguish.org on port 2222!</desc>

     <desc>COW is a browser-based milti-player virtual world which encourages creativity and fun.. No plugins or clients required.</desc>
     <desc>All users can create objects from the start. There is a training shed with a tiny robot who will guide new users through the basics.</desc>
     <desc>Objects have 'worth' and can be bought and sold. We have a bank and several shops. There is also a post office and a postman who delivers when you login.</desc>
     <desc>If you prove yourself worthy you can learn COWScript and code objects.</desc>
     <desc>All of the commands are simply objects coded a specific way so making a new command is as simple as creating a new object and coding it.</desc>
     <desc>Building new locations and creating new objects is done like this:</desc>
     <desc>build a rusty gate to an old warehouse go to the gate create a rusty old car paint it as tomato create a dusty coversheet paint it as lightgrey put it on the car</desc>
     <desc>Naturally you can say, do, shout, think, sing and ponder to communicate with others in the same 'room' as you.</desc>
     <desc>Some technical info: COW is running from my own dedicated server so is very fast (Its running from a 32Mb RAM drive). Its a single perl script with a few supporting CSS and image files. COWScript is a scripting language I have designed specifically for coding objects in cow.</desc>

Towns that can be conquered. Strongholds which offer great protection for the newbies and those wounded in battle. Staggering numbers of spells and skills to choose from, to heal, and to harm. All waiting to be discovered in the huge world of, what is basically, an everlasting battle arena.  14 races. 1 aim. The Good, the Evil, and the Misties, who fight to kill them all. Join us, and get lost in our world.</desc>

     <desc>We are without a doubt the OLDEST and LONGEST RUNNING Dragonlance Mud around.  Ansalon is a legacy thats been around since the time of The Keep, spanning more than 13 years of the absolute LOVE of Dragonlance.  We are all about the roleplay, the storytelling, and keeping the magic of Krynn alive.</desc>
     <desc>Ansalon has the fortune of having an older average playerbase. Teens are still encouraged and nurtured, but the majority of our players are adults escaping from the real world for a little while each day.  Our staff is comprised of professionals:  scientists, bankers, teachers, artists.</desc>
     <desc>We fully encourage clans and nations.  Ansalon is one of the very few muds that new people can come in, carve out a nation for themselves and rise to leadership positions through simply the force of their roleplay. Many of our existing groups are looking for fresh blood as well. Our clerical system is one of the best found ANYWHERE.</desc>
     <desc>If you have any comments or questions, feel free to email us at ansalon@mudmagic.com  We'd love to hear from you.</desc>
     <desc>(On a personal note, we have recently moved from wolfpaw to mudmagic because of security isuses.  This being said, we can be accessed from multiple ports.  If 8679 is down, try 8678 or the java/telnet connect through the website which will always work!)</desc>

     <desc>Apoc is one of the oldest muds still running, having been created from DikuMUD Gamma 0.0 in October, 1991.  Modifications to the MUD are shaped by the players themselves, via suggestions and ideas they submit to the implementors. Our average player base of 2000 is compiled of various players from sites all over the world, including the United States, Australia, Korea, Canada, and the United Kingdom.</desc>
     <desc>Apocalypse Forever contains 71 fantasy zones for game play, over 40 of which are original works, created by the players themselves, specifically for this MUD. Anybody can create a zone for Apoc, not just immortals.</desc>
     <desc>Apocalypse Forever currently has 11 races (Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Half-elf, Half-giant, Halfing, Human, Minotaur, Pixie, Triton and Uldra) and 12 classes (Anti-Paladin, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Magic-User, Paladin, Ranger, Samurai and Thief). There are more than 200 spells and skills available for use by the various classes.</desc>

     <desc>Welcome to the city of Last Haven. Nestled in a valley somewhere in the devastated wilderness that is the planet of Athran. It has been nearly a thousand years since Loki's Hammer fell from the sky destroying the world that was. As the darkness fell about the world, the elves re-emerged and fell on the struggling survivors of the asteroid's impact. The last fractions of Humanity banded together, building a city in which to defend themselves against the bands of savage hunters. Now the city struggles to survive, the only fertile land that they have made themselves. Surrounded by a blasted and hostile waste, with enemies that kill and enslave without compassion, Last Haven is also humanity's last hope. Find your challenge. Guide your character through the political intrigues and hostile environment to succeed in the way that you choose. With over a hundred usable skills you can craft your character to be anything from a bard to soldier, from a politician to a farmer. Life can take some unexpected turns. Find out what your destiny is today. Enter the world left by Loki's Hammer.</desc>

     <desc>If you are new to MUDs, Arctic is a text-based adventure game where you create a persona and adventure in a fantasy world. Arctic is set in the world of Krynn, the basis for the Dragonlance novels. You can explore the world of Krynn -- combating dragons, ogres, draconians, and countless other creatures, discovering rare treasures, and finding hidden locations -- along with hundreds of other players.</desc>
     <desc>Arctic is geared towards a mature game-playing audience. Character interactions are handled in a realistic manner. Player-characters stealing from and killing each other is not necessarily encouraged, but it is allowed.</desc>
     <desc>As the premier Dragonlance MUD, Arctic has developed a rich environment that provides countless hours of free enjoyment. Start playing today and find out if you have what it takes to join the adventure!</desc>

If you've never seen Great Dragons, Predators, Kzinti, and Klingons slaying wizards protected by legions of acid-blooded Aliens, play Areth and you will.</desc>
     <desc>Game-wise, Areth's a fair and challenging game environment.  Immortals are strictly forbidden to aid *any* mortal in gameplay, give out free equipment, or level their friends.  Everything on Areth, except for the boost to level 2, is earned by the player's own innate skill on a level playing field. This annoys twinks who schmooze their way to the top on other muds, but we're not interested in them anyway.  On the other hand, players looking for a fair, challenging game environment are well rewarded here.  We have 12 classes planned, 9 are currently available: Cleric, Mage, Paladin, Psion, Rogue, Samurai, Ninja, Martial Artist, and Warrior. There are presently over 300 functional skills/spells, and by the time the rest of the class work is done there will most likely be around 450.</desc>
     <desc>We're also looking for a few talented builders.  Talented means being able to build using a text editor, not MZF or OLC.</desc>

     <desc>Realms of Discordia There is a place we go to - that we see and live in - when we close our eyes. This dream world is filled with things our everyday life is not; strange creatures and foreign places that are exotic and yet all too comforting. It’s a fantasy, an existence bigger then our own world and hauntingly familiar for all its strangeness. Sprawling and complex, it exists in its own set of laws, rules, and boundaries - ones that we yearn to escape to when our own minds and hearts are heavy. Its people are odd, sometimes frightening; but this world of make believe has been fashioned with love and care and needs only your mind to fulfill its existence. Titillating, validating, fulfilling and realistic - it is the ultimate dream world. This, my friends, is the Realms of Discordia - laden with action, adventure, magic, and magical beings. It is the place we long for in our dreams and fantasies, the world we seek when we close our eyes and the home our hearts long for in its quiet moments. A fantasy realm, an original ROM derivative, Realms of Discordia features over one hundred custom built areas, over seven thousand hand built rooms. There are over two dozen playable races, each with its own original history and purpose. The magic and skill systems are exquisitely crafted, each ability leading to another and each skill itself necessary to a character’s talents. Built with pride, crafted with love, and coded with precision - this is a game, a community, a world all its own. We are role-play encouraged - for the illusion of this fantasy needs your creative talents to feed it. We offer in game and in character rewards for good storytelling, good role-playing, and even individualized quests for those who seek a deeper level of in character gaming. We also strongly encourage hunting - finding, fighting for, and claiming levels and new skills and abilities with the rewards one can earn. Overall, our positive and helpful staff and players encourage a sense of community and friendship that we hope will be the most important thing you walk away with from your experience with Realms of Discordia</desc>

     <desc>Millenia ago, the discovery of hyperspace travel brought the galaxy together, giving birth to a democratic union of star systems known as the Galactic Republic. From the time of its inception, the Republic grew, over thousands of years, to encompass vast numbers of inhabitated worlds. The survival of the Republic depended on two factors: the wise governing of selfless administrators and lawmakers... and the preservation of harmony and justice by a heroic warrior fraternity - the Jedi Knights. In those glorious ancient days, a great many Force sensitive individuals willingly entered arduous training under accomplished Jedi Masters, taking up the weapons, the knowledge, and the powers of the Jedi Way.</desc>

     <desc>We are currently in the process of revamping the game, and therefore not open for regular play. The code has matured over five years of development, and now our focus lies on sorting out bugs, finishing old projects, and adding some new features as well.</desc>

     <desc>Austria is uneasily located at the heart of Europe, flanked by Italy and Germany on the one side and by Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovenia on the other. It is a natural bridge between prosperous Brussels and impoverished Tirana, between a towering Germany and a cowering Serbia, between the Balkan and central Europe. In its former incarnation as the Habsburg and capital of the Holy Roman Empire, Vienna ruled all these regions.</desc>
     <desc>Today still Vienna itself is still like a medieval bastion. Anachronisms abound, from antique decorations in otherwise ultra-modern buildings to forgotten catacombs beneath bank vaults and subway tunnels. Honest-to-goodness castles and imperial palaces still exist and stand side by side with ancient cathedrals, modern shopping malls and sky scrapping office buildings. The city is more than only a natural hub between East and West Europe. It is also a pivot of Europe's organized crime and espionage. Albanian drug dealers clash with Ukrainian and Moldavian human traffickers and Russian KGB agents turned weapons smugglers, and there they face off with already established west European and Italian crime cartels.</desc>
     <desc>We are a World of Darkness Roleplaying game using White Wolves /new/ Storytelling System. We support Mortal (including a crime, civil and law sphere), Second Sight, Vampire: the Requiem, Werewolf: the Forsaken and Mage: the Awakening.

     <desc>'Citizens of the Planet Earth, We bring you Greetings, and we come in peace' was their greetings when they landed... They Lied.</desc>
     <desc>'The Visitors are not our Friends! They've come to rape our Planet and kill us! They are not who they appear to be!' was the Resistance call.</desc>
     <desc>In October of 2001, the Visitor Motherships arrived over the cities of Earth, 50 in all. They claimed to have arrived intending peace, but they lied. They came to take us prisioner and to rob the planet of the resources. By the end of Novemeber, they controlled the planet. Lucky for the Earth, a Resistance was able to form, and beat them with the Red Dust.</desc>
     <desc>After a full year, they came back, as the Dust wasn't completely effective, and now, can not be released again for enviornmental and Health reasons. The warmer regions are back under Visitor Control, all except LA, thanks to a deal brokered between the Visitors and Science Frontiers, who has taken over the LA Government. That was 6 months ago. Now the Resistance is in hiding, for the most part, looking for a way to cause the Visitors troubles.</desc>
     <desc>V: The Visitors Return is a MUSH that allows you to take on the role of a Great Resistance Fighter, or an Evil Reptillian Visitor. Feature Characters from the NBC Mini-Series and Television Series are available for you to play.</desc>
     <desc>V: The Visitors Return is an online roleplaying game based partially on the original mini-series V which aired in the mid 1980's. The premise was simple. AHumanoid appearing aliens came to Earth, pretending to be our friends. They said that they wanted friendship and access to some of our more readily available resources (ie: water) and in return they would give us technology and their gratitude.</desc>
     <desc>In actuality these peaceful Visitors were actually after something more sinister. Humans. As Food. Disguised under human looking masks and fake flesh, the aliens were really members of a warlike and very hungry reptilian species.</desc>
     <desc>Unlike the Mini-Series and Television Series, the exact dates have been updated and pushed ahead roughly 15 years so the invasion place in the 2000's instead of the 1980's. Besides that shift, we try to remain as faithful as possible to the ideal of V and it's events and characters despite any \"cosmetic\" differences the shift in time creates.</desc>

     <desc>Asylum MUD is one of the most popular quest-orientated hybrids on the Net. Asylum has developed into one of the most advanced MUDs of its type - with an emphasis on playability and fun, and now more than 75 quests! Several custom subsystems provide the basis for Asylum's success including: advanced body combat against a range of AI mobiles; auto-regeneration across the virtual world; a unique mobile combat classification system in which combat depends on a wide range of mobile attributes and the SOAS object-based spell attribute system. Asylum also proudly boasts the invention of the DEFROB system - a unique concept in which individuals can gain more powerful immortal levels, by defrobbing to a mortal role and completing more quests.  UPDATE March 2002     Some of our recent enhancements include the following: LODGING: You no longer have to run around looking for equipment. Lodging allows the storage of your items, safe and ready for the next time you login. BANDS: Asylum's very own Guilds - incorporating Freelancer, Barbarian, Monk, Outlaw and Blademaster -with many more to come including Conjurer and Healer DEFROB and AUTORESET: The original and still the best - we defined them LUCRE: Our own currency and rewards system. CHARACTERISTICS: Advanced character attributes means you can develop your character in your own way with Power, Agility, Intelligence, Fortitude, Alignment, Sanity, Favour and Reputation.</desc>

     <desc>Ista and High Reaches are gone.  It's looking to be a bad Pass.</desc>
     <desc>The Starcrafters were predicting this turns ago, insisting that all the signs pointed to the upcoming Pass being particularly strenuous, and perhaps overlong.  They never predicted that the dormant volcano in which Ista Weyr's population made their home would abruptly return to life, nor that High Reaches would suffer a devastating earthquake - and there have been smaller but no less terrifying events the world over.</desc>
     <desc>In the wake of the too-close-together disasters, geologically-minded Craftfolk sought out an old, abandoned Weyr, one that had been created in a water-worn cavern system but finally deemed too cold and isolated for maintenance.  But... it's geologically stable.</desc>
     <desc>And so Starmount Weyr was born, a creation of politics and councils and desperation.  Finally under the management of its Weyrleaders, it nevertheless owes much to High Reaches Hold, Kalseru trading post, and many other Pern locales for help and support in both building-- and, in a great many cases, refuge, as a significant proportion of its population comes from the destroyed Weyrs.</desc>
     <desc>Set well up in the Northern Barrier Range, it looks to be a cold, hard road to independence, but its people have thrown themselves into the game with willing hearts.  For the most part, anyway-- except for the ones who seem to be hoping to make a mark, and not always for the good of the people.  The Weyrleader is rumored to be among them... at least when his back is turned.</desc>
     <desc>Come help us create something fascinating - what FrostFire becomes from this point is up to the players.  With open Impressions (golds under some restriction... so what else is new), Crafters, player-dragons, and an extremely laid-back atmosphere, we're out for whatever fun we can make for ourselves.  It's a Pern that's ripe for change and looking potential disaster in the eye.  What could go wrong?</desc>

     <desc>Thorns of War is a browser based game which mixes elements of a MUD and a Sim. While there are plenty of monsters to hone your fighting skills against, the main focus of the game is on living out a life in the open world provided. Building is nearly unrestricted and includes everything from roads and bridges to towers and halls of timber or stone. While many players throw their support behind an existing village, some choose to strike out on their own, blazing new trails and settling new areas of the MASSIVE world.</desc>
     <desc>Nearly all items are crafted by players of varying professions, from bronze casters to locksmiths, and working together is key to survival in a world that is, quite frankly, a pretty rough place. Fortunately there's always an NPC hireling looking for work who you can hire to guard your lands, pan for minerals, forage, chop timber, dig up stone, or even give you a hand down in a kobold hole.</desc>
     <desc>Unlike most MUDs you'll find this one to be very mouse friendly, with a mini-map and an organized layout which makes it very easy to play and keep track of what's going on around you.</desc>

     <desc>Star Wars MUSH: New Worlds is a new Star Wars MUSH based on the classic West End Games Star Wars Roleplaying Game, utilizing the D6 system. The game's storyline itself is an offshoot of the original Star Wars MUSH (SW1) and went online December 26th, 2008. With about 50 players online at peak hours (PST, generally), it is an active new Star Wars world beginning in 18 ABY - the Empire is the reigning galactic government, but faces opposition from a new Sith Empire and the remaining forces of the New Republic.</desc>
     <desc>The game's staff setup is unique in that is promotes democracy first and foremost; faction staff positions for the main factions are elected by their players, as is the game's Direc tor. To put a stop to staff abuse, there is also an elected Player's Council which serves as a check against potential administration abuse; the game strives to put the players at the front and put an end to staff abuse of power.</desc>
     <desc>The game features approximately 170 coded (and canon) Star Wars ship types (based on D6 stats), over 300 weapons and items, over 40 coded worlds to explore, and five main factions to join - the ruthless Empire, the new Sith Empire of Darth Malign, the strong-willed New Republic, and the unaffiliated independents. In addition, there are a multitude of small organizations to join - such as the criminal Black Sun, the vile Hutt cartels of Zorbo and Gulgoth the Hutts, and so on. The game also features the player-run Bank of the Core - players can deposit their earned credits at the bank by opening an account, and earn interest monthly. They can also take out loans to finance that starship of their dreams, or to open their own business.

Create your character from a pool of 21 distinct playable races (each with its own unique city) and 28 classes (including mortal, remortal, realm lord and legend tiers) to find your own path through life. Not enough? You can also choose from 8 object crafting profession classes, adding greater flexibility and depth to your character. With every race having its own attributes and skills and each class having specialized abilities with lasting usefulness, play-style is greatly individualized. StormHunters is fully playable and we continue to regularly add new content. Will you be a veteran warrior, overwhelming hordes of foes with brute strength or perhaps a cunning assassin, utilizing style and strategy to destroy your targets from the shadows? If such brutality is distasteful, etch away your opponents' very life force with the arcane arts. In a world with such violence, there is also the need for skilled healers. If versatility is your motto, simply combine elements of each. Every build has its strengths and weaknesses, so you need never worry about creating a \"useless\" character. Our friendly immortal staff and helpful players are always willing to answer any questions you might have. If you're the quiet type, you can use the built in help systems--including shelp (information on skills and spells) and ahelp (area information) functions--to find your way through the world. With an almost entirely custom world of over 100 areas and an exhaustive list of changes, there is certainly no shortage of things to do. Not the type to sit idly by and watch the world evolve around you? Join our staff as a builder and help us create new content--bring your areas to life and break away from the cookie cutter mold!

     <desc>Affectionately known as KoD by its loving players, Knights of Darkness is the second oldest and longest-running Star Wars-themed SWR still in existence.  Over the past year or so, we've lost a lot of steam, for various reasons, but now, we have an almost entirely new staff (with a few old faces still hanging around, as well) and we're on the move to take the Star Wars MUD scene back by storm. We've just moved to a brand new dedicated server with a 10mbps connection, and the coders are now hard at work implementing some long-needed changes that are sure to make the experience more enjoyable and exciting than anything any other SWR can even dream of offering.</desc>
     <desc>Set about 27 years after the Battle of Yavin, Knights of Darkness currently resides in an alternate Star Wars universe whose history has been developed based on years of player interaction and the weaving of hundreds of plot lines.  In its current incarnation, the Star Wars Galaxy is once again under the reigns of the Empire, as a crumbling Republic struggles to exist at all in the face of such an all-encompassing power.  Tensions are high - and that only makes the RP that much better!</desc>
     <desc>And it's about to get even more exciting - change is just around the corner, and along with it will come the most detailed character customization any SWR has ever seen.  Without getting into too much detail, let's just say you DON'T want to miss it!</desc>
     <desc>Come over and play KoD - if you don't want to download a client, you can even use the Flash MUD client on our website, which, in and of itself, is full of wonderful things, and even more to come.  Join up now, and be a part of the action, the fun, and the wonder that is yet to come!</desc>

     <desc>BatMUD features a detailed combat system, player to player commerce, playerbuilt cities, seafaring vessels, mounts and hundreds of custom zones. The unique atmosphere of BatMUD has given birth to many clones, including two sibling sites: BatMUD classic (BatMUD as it was in 1994) and HardCore BatMUD (fast powerplay with permanent deaths).

     <desc>We also feature: multiclass skills; an expanded clan system which allows clans to declare war or conquer areas to help with purchasing clan equipment; a unique and optional religion system which provides mild subtle bonuses as you level; a Final Fantasy-like system of elemental strengths and weaknesses; magic resistance; magic power, which increase or decrease the effectiveness of your spells; and dozens of genuinely new skills based on custom-built game mechanics.</desc>
     <desc>At the moment, Shiny is about 75% comprised of stock areas, though they've been altered in subtle ways, and there are always more areas on the way.  To this end we are hiring builders (building is via OLC) to expand the mud universe.  Creativity is essential.</desc>
     <desc>ShinyMud is the third incarnation of a mud run by administrators with a decade of mud-building experience.  As such, the game is quite stable, and many long-running Envy and Mythran bugs/issues have been fixed (e.g., no KILLER flags, ever!).</desc>

     <desc>Perhaps you have seen this world before. Perhaps it is all too familiar. Yet, to fully understand it, you must look at it in a different light: a soft flame kindled for millennia and held up against the growing darkness that surrounds it. The century to come will almost extinguish that fire. In the decades that follow, technology revolutionizes the world, aristocracy becomes an anachronism, gentlemanly behavior becomes obsolete, and world wars ravage the planet. The idealists of that brave new world become even more jaded and degenerate, forgetting the propriety and etiquette of the Victorian era. Forget these shadows of a future past. History has yet to be written, and the protagonists of our Passion Plays may rewrite them in their own image.</desc>
     <desc>Welcome to another realm, one shrouded by fog and lit by flame. City of Serenity is like that of our own world, but is one in which monsters prowl the night. They could just as well survive in the shadows of our own world -- or at least in the shadows of our past. Later generations of vampires herald this time as the height of their unseen civilization. Yet, the mists of time are like mists over Venice; It distorts all we think we perceive.</desc>

     <desc>\"The year is 2390. The Federation as you once knew it, no longer exists. The combined might of the Tri-Powers could not withstand the Dominion onslaught. On the very streets they once defended, the Federation's political and military leaders were slaughtered. Yet, even in these dark times, the spirit of the Federation could not be crushed. Out of the devastation arose The Pacific Alliance and the Coalition for Unity, each seeking to rebuild the former Federation under it's own philosphies. Spouting about the need for a stronger military emphasis, Alliance party members verbally challenged the more traditional Coalition. In a time when the former Federation worlds are seperated, each party seeks to bring them into it's fold. Starfleet, ever steadfast in it's directives, finds itself split in it's support for these vying fledgling politic powers, each of whom believe themself to be the legitimate UFP.\"</desc>
     <desc>Star Trek: Interregnum seeks to embody a universe not too disimiliar from the Birth of the Federation. The goal of the game is create an environment where player actions both matter, and serves to drive the MUSH forward. Even though, it is Federation vs Federation, all races remain playable. Featuring both a custom version of ASpace, and it's own unique Econ system, STI's codebase serves primarily to drive roleplay forward and arbitrate possible conflicts.

     <desc>Somewhere between real and imaginary lies the world of Avatar, a second home where many adventurers have made life-long friends and established reputations for themselves by achieving Heroic, Lordly, and even Legendary levels of power.  When first entering the world of Avatar, new players can select a race from our wide selection of 24 base races and a class from our 7 starting classes. However, these are only the beginning of our character offerings. With time and experience, players can unlock a number of prestige and remort classes, as well as remort races.  Avatar is a massive world divided into different tiers of players. New players begin as Mortals and by leveling and gaining experience they become Heroes. Both tiers of players exist on Midgaardia, a realm that has over 200 different areas to explore. Lords are former Heroes who achieved a sufficient level of power. They are charged with the responsibility of protecting Midgaardia from the evil of the outer planes. Lords make their home on Thorngate (a small town that exists in the universe) and travel to Avatar's 11 different planes of existence, fighting those who would seek to invade. Occasionally, a Lord will reach such a high level of power that he/she will be able to ascend to the Legend tier. Little is known about the Legends, but it is rumoured that they are champions of the Gods, fighting for a cause that they are not even aware of.  Even with Avatar's high level of re-playability and the many different ways one can experience the game, what keeps new players (and existing ones) coming back is the people. Our diverse player base is filled with friendly and helpful individuals who make it a great place to play.  Additionally, the dedicated Immortals, Angels, and Track Staff are available to help improve Avatar and making sure it remains a safe and family-friendly place to play. Come and find out for yourself - we look forward to welcoming you to the AVATAR family!</desc>

     <desc>Cajun Nights, New Orleans by Night, has been running for over 10 glorious years now with a good playerbase and a great team of staffers. All our supernatural spheres are active, as is the crime/civil/law sphere and we are running regular cross sphere plots to involve mortals and super alike.</desc>
     <desc>Rhost is our game server and it gives us several terrific features. Obfuscation and the Umbra are now coded, as are the Auspex and Mind Shield effects that go along with it. Our new queue system gives the staff more information about what player requests are still pending and what needs to take place to get them resolved in a timely fashion.</desc>
     <desc>Our mortal and mortal+ sphere has many openings for those who prefer playing characters without supernatural abilities. Whether you want to be the high-society type or be involved in the University or one of the street people, there are plenty of opportunities.</desc>
     <desc>If the world of crime--being one of the bad guys or being one of the people trying to catch them -- is your thing, there are plenty of openings. There are openings for everyone from mooks and drug-pushers to white-collar criminals. Things are as open on the other side of the street as well -- patrol cops, state police, FBI agents, to name a few.</desc>
     <desc>The shifter sphere is a terrific place to serve Gaia. There are openings for every tribe except Red Talons, and for every auspice. Kinfolk are needed as well, and we are also accepting bete/fera. The Umbra will be very important in the stories to be told in the coming months, so those of you with an interest in Terra Incognita may find it an especially good place to play.</desc>
     <desc>Kindred: There are openings for all Camarilla clans, including the Gangrel (who, in our chronicle, have never left the Camarilla) and for Setites as well.</desc>
     <desc>New Orleans hosts a vibrant Voodoun community, which anyone, mortal or super, is welcome to join. Not everyone is chosen for a special relationship with the lwa, but each spirit is seeking followers right now. We operate our own version of Voodoun, developed for us by Sam Chupp and recently updated by our own staff.</desc>
     <desc>Last but certainly not least, Cajun Nights offers a large Mage sphere. New characters are welcome, but we are a bit pickier about which traditions are available. Acolytes and consors are being accepted almost across the board.</desc>

We feature an array of races and classes which have enough variety to make each character a unique experience, not just the same thing with a few different skills.  Warriors specialize in weapons and can learn the secrets of the 36 Legacies of the Macalla. Shapeshifters can learn from ~100 different forms.   Necromancers can risk their existence to transform into the undead.  Thieves can customize their skill list as they train among various masters. Paladins can earn additional communes befitting the virtues they best espouse.  The list goes on!</desc>
     <desc>A large world: 250+ areas (~23000 rooms), all written especially for CF, including many puzzle/quest based 'exploration areas'.  Extensive help files (1600+) both in the game, during character creation, and on our web page if you want to read them safely.  Player Killing among characters you'd be competitive with.  A deep roleplaying environment with a flexible reward system.  Hundreds of built-in quests, plus custom ones run live by our staff. A system of religions where Immortals tattoo their followers and empower priests.  Eight highly detailed Cabals to join for protection, power, and camaraderie.  Nine different ways to earn experience.  Tight game balance which offers a challenge even to experienced players.  We have been open to the public for over eleven years!</desc>
     <desc>Carrion Fields is COMPLETELY free to play.  No pay-for-perks arms races, no hidden subscriptions, no trial periods.   While our extensive commerce system makes copper coins coveted within the game, real-life money won't do you a cent of good.  Don't be fooled by games that say \"free\" but don't mean it!</desc>

     <desc>This was then: There was world ruled by a generous king who was kind to all of his people. But amidst the dark corridors of the king's castle evil lurked. The king's magician had vicious plans to take over and rule with darkness at his side.. he opened a portal to the underworld.  An army of dark minions swirled out thrue the portal and into the peaceful kingdom. But the dark forces were treacherous and betrayed the magician.</desc>
     <desc>The kingdom was swiftly overthrown, many people were killed and tortured. People fled and sought shelter, they gathered in small tribes and soon found that the only place where they could be safe from these evil forces was underground. They started building underground complexes, magically hiding the entrances from the dreaded army above..</desc>
     <desc>Evil ruled the surface for many, many years. Man lost count of how long they had been underground and the surface was soon but a legend of old times.</desc>
     <desc>This is now: As time went by and evil ravaged the surface, the climate started to change.The surface started to become a dark and desolate place, haunted by cold winds. Evil slowly retreated and eventually light came back to the kingdom. But the climate never changed back and the kingdom will never be the same again. With the return of light man began to open their well-covered hatches from below and take a glimpse of the outside world. Seeing little danger, young and brave adventurers soon started to explore the surroundings.</desc>
     <desc>You are one of those adventurers and it is your task to give Bards of the future something to sing heroic songs about around campfires once again.</desc>

     <desc>You have found the one and only Lost Wishes Mud. Since 1995, we have been keeping people like you off the streets.  Lost wishes has everything you have been looking for in a mud, but have never been able to find in one place. An original code base supports a truly amazing mudding experience. New players can begin their experience in Mud School, where 12 grades of step by step tutorial make you a mudding pro in no time. Once out, explore the four huge domains, encompassing over 20,000 original rooms. Esdragen is a massive land of light and dark, past and future. Mainland is home to the bustling City of Windaria, set against a backdrop of deserts, mountains, and plains. Emerald is the sparkling jewel of a continent as its name implies, but along with the wondrous beauty there is much that is evil. Although Nautica is itself an island, it also is composed of countless islands throughout the world. To explore the lands separated by seas, you can charter a ferry, rent, or even own, one of the variety of boats.  Before setting out too far, join one of more than a dozen of our original guilds, each with something different to offer. Whether you wish to be a powerful mage, a rock hard gargoyle or a top notch warrior, we have guilds suited to these (and many, many more) styles! Add to that fully customizable player creation that lets you choose from one of nearly twenty different races. There is no maximum level which means you can play until your heart's content. Tons of colorful weapons, equipment, and other useful items await your discovery. And there are plenty of quests throughout the four domains that can bring you fame and fortune for more than just killing.  What really makes Lost Wishes special is the people that inhabit it. Although role playing is acceptable here, it is neither required nor enforced, so if you want to assume your character's persona or just want to be yourself, you will be welcome. The atmosphere is very open and friendly, so you can make friends, join a clan, or even party with people to kill things. And while there is almost always a trivia game or chat going on, you can turn off comm lines if you wish. Even though the mud doesn't endorse PK, there are simulated PK areas like the arena, or the Dark Realm, if that strikes your fancy.</desc>

     <desc>It is said that a very rare, special kind of butterfly one day accidentally crossed over from the realm of Aarils and came to the real world – this world.  A kind of chemical found in the powder on its wings caused it to create a temporary gateway between its world and this - a procss still today considered by some as magical, and by the more synical - simply too advanced for current science.  It came through that portal and sat down on a man’s arm.  The man tried to slap the butterfly and managed to crush the butterfly’s wings… and some of the powder on its wings came on the man’s hand.</desc>
     <desc>That night the man had a dream about another world, another realm of reality too distant from this and completely alien.  Upon waking up he wasn’t at all sure whether he had dreamt it all, or if it really existed.</desc>
     <desc>By the next day, the powder had been completely absorbed into his body and created a gateway in his mind.  And the next night, he dreamt again.  And the next, and the next, until he finally came to the realization that it was more than just a dream.  He was living - in this reality, this alien realm.  And he learned that he had the power to control his visits to this world.</desc>
     <desc>He was the first of the visitors who came to Aarils.  Nobody knows how the gateway between this world and that of Aarils remained open – even after this man had died.  Some say it was not in his mind at all, but a physical gateway – a portal – that opened between this world and Aarils, allowing anyone who seeks it out to find it, and enter.</desc>
     <desc>Today, the gateway exists, and people from this world enters Aarils in search of a new life, new riches and new happiness.  And some find their heart's longing, while others find only despair and heartache. The portal is clear; the gateway open.  The opportunity is yours. Will you be a hero or a foe, a wealthy traveller or a bandit, a farmer or a thief, a tailor... a shopkeeper...  The world is endless and the choices unlimited.

Struggling to your feet you take inventory:  wounded body, a chaingun with one last clip of ammo, one fragmentation grenade, and the iron will to look past those odds.  Corpses of Blackhand's entire regiment litter the ground around you.  Only a few survivors remain, and calling them survivors is a stretch.</desc>
     <desc>Wild bolts of lightning blast across the sky, announcing the death of Yet another of the reborn. In the tracks left by the lightning,graceful, metal wings can be seen, beating against the gray clouds. She is coming for you, the reborn.  Slapping your last clip into your chaingun, you watch as the  avenging angel drops out of the sky and lands before you, folding her wings around her body like a cloak. A Black metal hand draws a white blade from the glinting scabbard at her hip. As the avenging angel raises the blade to strike, you compress the trigger and begin firing.</desc>
     <desc>A hail of bullets wash over the winged woman, most just bouncing off her black skin like sand in the wind. Grimly, you pull the pin on the grenade and hold your last hope in your hand. You may be dead a minute from now, but you are determined not to go alone... This is your last stand, this is war, this is, CYBERASSAULT...</desc>
     <desc>CyberASSAULT Features: -A post-apocalyptic, sci-fi theme including holographic simulator areas and tons of pop-geek-culture references. -Fast-paced melee, grenade or clip-dependant gun combat! -A great active Immortal staff that's always working!! -Bionics, lockers, PK (limited), remorts, remort classes -item customization, player, ongoing and imm-run quests -lots of custom skills and psionics -a awesome fun non-stock world! -a great newbie zone!

We have ship combat, a kind and caring immortal staff, active builders and coders for new content and a stern yet fair rule set to prevent cheating and harassment.

They created many marvelous places and beings, but could not decide. So the Immortals stepped forth, to govern Magic and Science.</desc>
     <desc>The \"Dark Rifts\" refers to what mortals believe is the nothingness. This nothingness spans between the two realms--Magic and Science. Without the Dark Rifts, Torlall would not be as it is today.</desc>
     <desc>We feature 4+ cities, 9 professions/guilds, and over 65 unique areas. Professions such as PsiCorps and Martials Artists, amongst others, can be found in the realm of Science. Gracing the lands of Magic are guilds such as the Chaos Wizards, Qanai-Katal, and Boch Larude. The wide variety of areas in each realm allows for continued progression of mortal characters.</desc>
     <desc>There are 15 races to choose from, some found only on select realms. Examples of some races are: Avariel, Brakian, Halfling, Koa, Ssirith. Our races are diverse in their characteristics, slight drawbacks, and advantages.</desc>
     <desc>DR has a dedicated group of coders and players that regularly log in. On January 11, 2007, our status officially changed from beta to live. The mud experienced a period of downtime in late 2007/early 2008, but now has a new, stable home.</desc>

I added customized color, races, classes, remort system, usable furniture, players houses, auto quests, sound and a host of other modifications! I tried to make a mud that was easy to follow. A mud where newbies could learn and experienced players could be challenged. Along the way I had plenty of help building unique areas and coding special spells and skills. Of course, as with any mud, the most fun is when the player base is large. We allow grouping and in some cases (hard areas) it is encouraged! Drop by and give us a try! I think you'll like it.</desc>

     <desc>Welcome to Dark Risings  Imagine yourself a werecreature, skulking through the deep forest after the moon has caused you to involuntarily transform into a beast of unimaginable terror.  Or...a hunter that specializes in running the creatures of the night into the ground, and has the power to do it.  Or...a Gypsy, persecuted by outsiders, loved beyond all measure by the family you cherish in return, skilled in dance and storytelling, haunted by the leeches and undead which fill the night.  Or...a scholar of the arcane, with the power to change the very fabric and nature of the world through unique magics which only you have mastered.  Or...a merchant, wealthy beyond the dreams of most, fearlessly leading your clan against the most dire monsters in all the realms for one reason: profit.  Or...imagine yourself minding your own business when before your eyes a man shifts into mist, or a woman's caress turns into the bite of a vampire.  Imagine becoming ensared in dark and secret intrigue.  Imagine earning the trust of a patriarch, and becoming one yourself.  All of these roles and more are yours for the exploring at Dark Risings.  Any new character has a 7% chance of being a werecreature mutation of your chosen race.  Vampires are hand-picked by patriarchs based on the strength of roleplay.  Dark Risings has made sure to preserve that familiar feel of a ROM MUD.  Creating a new character is easy; simply choose the default of the class you want to play and you will have all the essential skills and spells picked for you to optimize your playing experience.  As you become familiar with the game, you can re-create your character to choose a wider variety of skills and spells, or create new characters for an entirely different playing experience. With 14 races, 14 classes, and 7 guilds, the possibilities are virtually endless.  Our mantra is \"equal but different\", and you will find each different race and class to be unique but carefully balanced.  We have a large variety of new and unique areas and features, as well as areas which retain the basics of stock ROM but which have been heavily polished and revised to enhance game play. For example, we have dozens of original built-in miniquests which offer rewards in the form of gold, items, equipment, and bonus XP if you choose to explore while you level.  This is a constantly evolving process; we work every day to create new miniquests and to enhance the feel of the game.  Role playing is heavily encouraged, with a name &amp; description approval process (online, no emailing required) and valid in-role reasons for PK (player killing) attacks required.  We have lots of quests and the kind of game balance only achieved from years of live play and adult admins with several decades of combined experience. Player Killing (PK, PvP, Player Conflict) is a part of this, although with care it can be entirely avoided without hugging saferooms all day if you so choose.  We have a NB channel where you can ask ANY question about the game and get an immediate answer (usually from several sources).  We also have an extensive helpfile system designed to give hints and tips to all of our players, not just the ones who have been with us for years.  Annoying things that Dark Risings is missing?  There's no rent, no hunger, no thirst, and resting heals you as fast as sleeping.  We pride ourselves on being a player-centered mud.  What this means to us is that we ask for and incorporate player input on all major decisions about the game.  We have an \"idea\" board from which we have implemented many, many good ideas submitted by our players. We also strive to embed player-run RP into the game itself, by building items, rooms, and even entire areas to reflect the contributions of players.  We feel that Dark Risings is a tapestry of RP, and every player's thread is important to the whole of the game.  We have an excellent base of mature and highly skilled role players who make Dark Risings an excellent and exceptionally fun game to play.  Come see what makes Dark Risings in the top ranked MUDs on the Mud Connector!  Join our family, make friends, fall in love!  It happens every day.  Right now, we have 35 people playing and having fun as I write this.  You could be the 36th.  When you log on, be sure to read \"Help New\" which is an index of help files designed to make getting used to Dark Risings easy.</desc>

DR was the first mud to offer quest-based advancement, and still maintains a large number of challenging and interesting quests.  Although a number of guilds have cropped up, DR is still based on the traditional LP mudlib. Ergo, it lends a classic feel to what we believe is a classic game. There are about 600 active players, but rarely more than 25 or so on at a time.  DR has almost never been down for more than a weekend, and recently moved to a much faster machine, so it probably *isn't* the slowest LP in existance anymore :)</desc>

     <desc>Star Wars - Galaxy At War is a new MUSH set at the dawn of the Knights of the Old Republic era</desc>
     <desc>It is roughly 3,960 years before the battle of Yavin as seen in Star Wars: A New Hope. The galaxy is still reeling from the recently ended war with the Mandalorians as well as the loss of more than a third of the Galactic Republic navy to the rogue jedi known as Malak and Revan who have fled into the unknown regions. The jedi strive to support the Republic while trying to rebuild their reputation and their ranks. The Mandalorians, following the death of Mandalore the Ultimate, have scattered throughout the galaxy with no purpose or direction. Pirates, Smugglers, Hutts, and worse all begin to take advantage of the weakness within the Republic for their own personal gains. Attacking convoys and settlements all along the fringe and even within Navy patrol zones. Meanwhile the Sith grow in numbers as young jedi are lured to the draw of power as opposed to the dogmatic views of the jedi...</desc>
     <desc>With one war ended there is hope for peace in these dark times, but the control of the Republic and the Jedi is fragile. Even without a war looming over their heads the citizens of the galaxy are overwhelmed by lawlessness and strife while whispers grow of a new threat on the horizon, promising the transform everything they know once again into a Galaxy at War.</desc>

     <desc>Despite the competitive environment, entry into the mud is friendly. A leveling system involving quests and interaction with your guild master will teach you everything you need to know about the game. In general the players are friendly and helpful. The Player vs. Player experience is not intense until level 50, so its relatively safe to learn the game in peace until you are ready to fight.</desc>
     <desc>There are also many unique areas, including 'artifact areas' such as the Tower of the Necromancer, or the Ogre Cavern, which provide unique puzzles and extensive mob artificial intelligence. There are also lots of custom additions such as potion brewing.</desc>
     <desc>The admin and developer team is dedicated, the server is stable, and the mud has been around since 1994. Roleplay is not required, but is certainly welcome.</desc>

     <desc>The Great War of the Mages, the Arcanix, nearly destroyed the world, and all man's glorious works.  The Protectors of Life managed to defeat the Lords of Chaos, and lock them out of the Realm.  But now, several centuries later, the magic of the seals has been weakened.  One of the Evil Lords has managed to cross the boundaries between the Planes, and seeks to revive the Arcanix.  Only a single Protector stands against him.  He desperately seeks aid for his beleaguered world, and has sent out his call across the multiverse. Even though the call was meant for aid, the Evil Lord has managed to slip some of his evil minions through the gate, and so the battle rages on.</desc>
     <desc>The forces of Chaos have found a strong foothold, and it is feared that once again the world stands at the Dawn of Demise.</desc>
     <desc>Dawn of Demise implements many new features and ideas not seen in other muds.  A small list of our unique features include:</desc>
     <desc>* Advancement to level 100 and dual classing. * Pets save and level like player characters. * A unique automated quest system that offers enhancements to your character and their items. * An advanced and balanced monetary system. * An arena that allows any players to battle without repercussions. * Unique areas, and tons of them.  None of these cut and paste areas either.  DoD has been around for over seven years and alot of thought has gone into the creation and development of our areas. * Many unique spells and skills developed by our team (just to list a few): -Cast spells effects that stay in rooms and even roam for a length of time. -Creating and setting of traps. -A unique mapping system if you have the skill or spell. -And much more...</desc>

     <desc>It's not known when or how the Island known as Hideaway came into exsistance. It was simply there, exsisting in a state outside of time itself. Every so often, in different places in the world, the boundaries of the Island would encroach into one of the many worlds in the multiverse and a portal would open. Sometimes for days, sometimes for only moments. Of course, it was inevitable that eventually people would fall into those portals and end up upon the Island.</desc>
     <desc>At first, only a few appeared, many baffled as they discovered only females seemed to be able to exsist on the Island. The men who found themselves upon the island were changed by the place's magic. Those first arrivals found the fishing around the island to be plentiful and prosperous, and so a small fishing village, the village of Hideaway, was born there in the sheltered cove. Over the years, however, more and more people began to appear, the appearance of portals in the real world beginning to grow more frequent. The population began to grow, forming and shaping into an open, friendly environment for all kinds of women, with all kinds of different interests. Now, a few hundred years after the first few people found themselves transported to Hideaway, the little village has grown into a bustling town, full of lively activity and fun.</desc>
     <desc>HideawayMUSH is a place designed to be a safe, open and friendly place for lesbian interaction. We welcome female and male players alike, but for thematic reasons we only allow female characters. This is ment to be a place where womyn can go to explore various aspects of themselves and generally have fun in a roleplaying setting.</desc>

     <desc>The full moon shone brightly over Pangaea, casting deep shadows among the warehouses along the docks.  On nights like this, the city gates were locked tight, with extra guards posted.  Sane people were asleep in their houses, or drinking in a busy tavern, forgetting the terrors happening beyond the safety of the city walls. Tonight the mood was much more somber than the typical nightly ruckus which normally filled the bars.  The full moon alone meant that the dead would be out in full force, but the recent bloody assaults by the hill giants in the forests to the north would contribute many fresh members to the army of the dead. There was some hope tonight.  A band of Mystic Knights had recently arrived in town, fresh in from their battles on the wild southern continent. They would do their best protect the few people who hadn't made it to the city, and fragment the army enough to prevent a full assault. But everyone knew a few wouldn't get a chance to see the sun rise.</desc>

     <desc>For those of you who have not yet been in Deeper Trouble, let me tell you that it is very old. It goes back to 1990 and was created by a handful computerscience students.</desc>
     <desc>Artesia - as the world is named - is, and always will be, strictly fantasy-based, and although it has its roots in the stories of J.R.R. Tolkien, many other species that share its theme and spirit also populate it these days.</desc>
     <desc>It is constantly being improved and new additions and changes come often. This is no DIKU style MUD. It is complex by nature and thus very challenging and exciting.</desc>
     <desc>One can here enjoy wandering about in a large world, either alone or in a party with other players. Since the different areas and puzzles are very distinct, although not by theme or connection, there is always a new challenge waiting for any adventurer regardless of skill and experience. Players also tend to stride to become the best.</desc>
     <desc>There is also a social aspect to the game. Many new friends have been made, and also real-life gatherings are being arranged now and then so that the true people of Artesia may exchange gossip, face to face and over a mug of dark ale. :-)</desc>

     <desc>TriadCity is a large-scale multiuser role-playing game with a literary orientation, currently in beta.</desc>
     <desc>While role-playing MUDs are fairly common, this one is different.  Where most MUDs focus on 'kill the monster' style adventuring, TriadCity explores themes which have been central to Western culture: good and evil, city and country, nature and civilization, personal and collective identities, violence and nonviolence, freedom and slavery.</desc>
     <desc>'Literary orientation' means that narrative techniques from the novel and other traditions are incorporated, such as voice, point of view, characterization, plot, and so on. Various forms of subjectivity are imposed on the characters which players create, some relative, some radical. This means that character histories and views of the world are potentially unique to each individual player.</desc>

After reaching level 60 you can advance to legendary levels which offers new skills and spells and generally greatly enhances your character. To reach 5th legendary level, you have to come through special challenge, which will test your knowledge of your character. Thus only the best players can ever reach 5th legendary level. Of course you can try until you learn enough to succeed. Successfully completing the challenge opens whole new range of possibilities to advance your character far beyond limits of lower legends. But only few reached this status, and they are honored as gods among other mortals.</desc>

     <codebase>[Unknown] Modified Tank Mage Deathmatch</codebase>
     <www>http://www.tankmagedeathmatch.com</www>
     <desc>Tank Mage Deathmatch is based on Ben White's Tank Mage Deathmatch, the winning entry from April 2000's 16k Mud Server Competition. The mud demonstrates the next stage in the evolution of MUDs -- A fully integrated browser client. Right now the technology is only supported by Google Chrome, but in about a year every major browser will support the technology.</desc>
     <desc>NOTICE</desc>
     <desc>You must use Google Chrome to play Tank Mage Deathmatch.</desc>
     <desc>PLAYING</desc>
     <desc>Each player will start in the designated start room. You can move between rooms using, n, s, e, w, u, d commands, depending on exits. You will also start with a number of health points (HP).</desc>
     <desc>The aim of the game is to defeat other players in magical and melee combat by spending attack points (AP) to cause each other damage. Damage is represented as a loss of HP. If your HP drops to zero or below, you can consider yourself killed, and you will restart in a randomly selected room.</desc>
     <desc>Powerups also appear from time to time in selected rooms, and have various beneficial effects.</desc>
     <desc>COMBAT</desc>
     <desc>Combat is based on attacks and spells. Attacks are performed by spending AP; the attacks either damage the opponent or are blocked. Spells can be cast by invoking the required runes at a cost of AP; spells either protect, do damage, or are negated if the target has invoked the negation runes.</desc>
     <desc>Maintaining invoked runes also costs AP; if the player does not have enough AP to maintain invoked runes, then the runes are automatically invoked.</desc>
     <desc>Every three seconds, you receive another (HP + 7) / 8 AP to spend, up to a maximum equal to your HP. No matter what the cost of something, if you have at least 1 AP, you can perform it; this ensures that players close to death can still do something useful.</desc>
     <desc>Moving from one room to another costs 2 AP, and all invoked runes are revoked. Changing targets also causes all runes to be revoked.</desc>
     <desc>TARGETING</desc>
     <desc>You will target all your actions at a specific player. This player must be in the same room as you for you to target them. All rune invocations are recorded relative to this player. Invoked runes are lost when changing targets or moving from room to room.</desc>
     <desc>If you use the target command with no parameters, then you will target the first player in the room (other than yourself). If you want to target a specific player in the room, you can enter either their name or number as a parameter. To determine their number, use either the look or who command.</desc>
     <desc>ATTACKS</desc>
     <desc>Attack costs, damage, and negations: Lunge 1 AP, damage 1 HP, negated by Chop or Block Hack 1 AP, damage 1 HP, negated by Lunge or Block Slash 1 AP, damage 1 HP, negated by Hack or Block Chop 1 AP, damage 1 HP, negated by Slash or Block Block 3 AP, damage 0 HP</desc>
     <desc>Your attack will be blocked by your target if one of the negation attacks was performed within the last 9 seconds, and it was among the last three attacks.</desc>
     <desc>COMBO ATTACKS</desc>
     <desc>If you perform certain attacks in the right order, you will receive a bonus attack, or combo attack. Combo attacks can only be blocked by the target if they have performed all the listed attacks within the last 9 seconds, and they were among the last three attacks performed. Once you perform a combo, the attacks you used for it can no longer be used as defences from other attacks.</desc>
     <desc>Shield Rush: Damage: 3 HP Requires: Block, Block Blocked by: Block</desc>
     <desc>Forward Combo: Damage: 3 HP Requires: Lunge, Slash Blocked by: Block and Hack</desc>
     <desc>Reverse Combo: Damage: 3 HP Requires: Hack, Chop Blocked by: Block and Slash</desc>
     <desc>Body Strike: Damage: 3 HP Requires: Hack, Slash Blocked by: Block and Chop</desc>
     <desc>Overhead Chop: Damage: 5 HP Requires: Chop, Lunge Blocked by: Block and Lunge</desc>
     <desc>RUNES</desc>
     <desc>Spell rune invocation costs (and maintenance costs): Maintenance costs are charged every three seconds. Invoked runes are automatically revoked when changing targets, moving from room to room, used in a spell, or automatically used to defend against a spell. Rune of Air 1 AP (1 AP) Rune of Fire 2 AP (1 AP) Rune of Water 1 AP (1 AP) Rune of Earth 1 AP (2 AP)</desc>
     <desc>SPELLS</desc>
     <desc>Spells can be cast after the required runes have been invoked. Area effect spells do normal damage to the target, and half damage to all others in the room (excluding the caster).</desc>
     <desc>Magic Missile: Cost: 1 AP Damage: 2 HP Requires: Rune of Air Negated by: Rune of Earth</desc>
     <desc>Fireball: Area Cost: 2 AP Damage: 6 HP Requires: Rune of Air, Run of Fire Negated by: Rune of Water</desc>
     <desc>Stone Skin: Defensive Cost: 1 AP Protection: 8 HP Requires: Rune of Water, Rune of Earth</desc>
     <desc>Ice Shards: Cost: 2 AP Damage: 5 HP Requires: Rune of Water, Rune of Air Negated by: Rune of Earth, Rune of Fire</desc>
     <desc>Poison Cloud: Area Cost: 2 AP Damage: 6 HP Requires: Rune of Water, Rune of Fire Negated by: Rune of Air</desc>
     <desc>POWERUPS</desc>
     <desc>Powerups appear from time to time in selected rooms. If there are players in the room, then the first player in the room will receive the powerup. Otherwise, the first player to enter the room will receive the powerup. Rune powerups are the only way to get runes.</desc>
     <desc>The following powerups are available:</desc>
     <desc>Rune: Earth, Air, Fire, or Water (randomly selected) Health Bonus: increase your HP Sword Bonus: increase your sword damage, to a maximum of +3 Rune Bonus: increase the damage of spells, up to +2 per rune</desc>
     <desc>DEATH</desc>
     <desc>After being killed, all your runes will automatically be revoked. You may have a random number of runes deducted, and sword and rune power bonuses will also be randomly lost. On return from death, you will receive a random number of HP, and will restart in a randomly selected room.</desc>

     <desc>TIPS</desc>
     <desc>When you see a player, use t to target them. Sword attacks can be performed using ah, as, ac, and al. You'll want to use ab to block attacks. Remember that a single ab will block attacks for 9 seconds, if you only use two other sword attacks. Doing a shield rush (ab,ab) will remove your blocks and leave you vunerable to attack. If you want to do a combo attack, perform a block first to leave you at least partially protected from attack. To block a combo attack, you'll have to anticipate what your oppenent is going to perform, and perform the negation move. This is virtually impossible if your opponent has a lot of AP. The Overhead Chop is the most powerful combo (chop-lunge). So if your opponent starts a chop, try to do a lunge to block it. Then return with a Forward Combo (slash, since you already have the lunge). This also means that if you do an Overhead Chop, immediately follow up with a hack to defend against a Forward Combo. Then you can finish with a chop or slash for another combo.</desc>
     <desc>You will want to get hold of powerups, especially health bonuses. These are the only way you can recover lost HP.</desc>

     <desc>If your oppenent starts invoking runes, try to figure out what spell they're casting. Hopefully you'll either have the runes invoked already to be able to counteract the spell, or be able to quickly invoke them. Otherwise, try running or getting stuck into them with your sword.</desc>
     <desc>Lastly, try not to move from room to room too quickly, because it wastes AP.</desc>

     <desc>Avatar West is a mud using the same areas and code as AVATAR but with a different level structure.  What we've done is create a remort or 'Incarnation' process that will cycle you through the 50 base levels of the traditional AVATAR.  Every time you cycle through, you are reincarnated as a new race-class combination which is picked randomly.</desc>
     <desc>We have all of AVATAR's experimental and grandfathered classes as well as all of the NPC races (making the total 40!) for this.  You could end up reincarnated as a Golem Sorcerer or a Goblin Monk.  With 9 classes and 40 races, there is plenty of variation.</desc>
     <desc>Enjoy and you are welcome to play!  Avatar West plans on being around for a long time and has the same technical and developmental staff as the traditional AVATAR.</desc>

     <desc>Corl is an original fantasy-medieval themed mush. It has a limited combat system that supports roleplay and an 'after- life' that allows players a chance to continue interacting after death. It is political in nature with established factions all battling for power. There are positions open for nobles as well as for commoners.  There are several areas open for exploration but the majority of the rp at this time is focused in the capital city.  The magic system is currently being coded.  Unlike most muds, your skills are not limited by your trade and you can learn anything you wish.. provided you can find someone to teach you.  Players are allowed to create or buy their own equipment with base damage. Specialty eq must be approved by an admin and justified.  The history files have been installed recently, giving the story of the world in which we are playing and several plots have been established based on this history.</desc>

     <desc>The year is 2438, exactly four hundred years after the discovery of ancient technology on the planet Mars on the second manned shuttle to the red planet. Mankind, in our arrogance, took the technology and turned it into the fuel of our weapons of destruction against each- other. Theories that World War IV would be fought with sticks and stones were greatly over-enthusiastic. WW III lasted nearly twelve years and lost nearly 200 million souls from across the globe.</desc>
     <desc>By the year 2099, the first fully functional spaceport was created on our moon. Luna Base, as it was once called, served as an inter- national space port for all of the Earth. It was also the cause of the first interstellar war, and World War Four. This war was fought almost entirely in space, though many ground troops died, mostly the fight was against technology's power in space. Trillions of  dollars were lost durring the war and none of the sides ended up the winner. The end of that war was literaly the lack of firepower in the year 2138. The final seasefire was declared on May 3rd, 2140 at the White House when all of the main leaders of each of the countries, along with all of their cabinet seats signed a document that allowed for nearly full use of the Spaceport by all countries.</desc>
     <desc>A Subclause of the treaty is that all countries would meet at the Capitol  Building in Washington D.C. every two years. Since the signing of that treaty, not a single member has ever missed a meeting.</desc>
     <desc>New colonies begun to form on the other satelites in the system. The Under-Ice colony of Europa, Io's subterranian colony on it's orbit around Jupiter. There are even rumors of unclaimed colonies that have begun to be sighted on the Asteroid Belts.</desc>

     <desc>Everwar Rebirth is based on the popular EmlenMUD codebase and is forked from the original Everwar which has been up and running for over 7 years.  The core theme is centered around a struggle between the forces of light and dark as they battle it out throughout a massive custom world.  There are a total of 18 races (9 per side) and 13 extremely balanced professions to choose from ranging from the devestating warrior, to the ellusive assassin.</desc>
     <desc>Work together with your alignment to track and crush the opposing force and loot them of their possessions.  We also have a ranking system where payers can accumulate war points and increase in power as they slay other players.</desc>
     <desc>From a PVE perspective we offer:</desc>
     <desc>* A world brought to life with advanced trigger system * Comprehensive quest and crusade system * Hundreds of custom armors, weapons and gems. * Robust forging system for the creation of items. * Unique dungeon instances (random every time) * Dynamic drop system (diablo style loot) * Overhead mapping feature, no need for custom maps.</desc>
     <desc>We will be launching on the 1st of October, if you're looking for an adult oriented PK mud then give us a try.</desc>

     <desc>Theme: Medieval Fantasy Genre: Hack and Slash, RP Optional</desc>
     <desc>We have two factions, light and dark. In our beta stages, we are only opening the light races, to ensure that newcomers have a 'polished' experience. We have 4 races in total, and 14 classes. There are 100 mortal levels. Again, only half of both will be available during our early beta stages.</desc>
     <desc>Each race has its own unique hometown and newbie zone. This is no small claim; and it has been the main reason that has delayed beta opening for so long.</desc>

Magic has returned to the world allowing those with the will to use it, extraordinary powers and abilities.  The lines between man and machine have blurred as science finds new ways to incorporate cybernetic wonders into flesh.  Data pirates in the new world called Deckers, interface with the virtual reality of the matrix to plunder one of the worlds remaining commodities; information.  Unexplained Genetic Expression as it is called changed the race lines from color to species as Trolls, Elves, and other creatures of legend emerged from all walks of life.  Corporations who are powers unto themselves put on a warm and fuzzy face to the public while striking each other in silent shadow wars using freelance agents known as Shadowrunners.  This is Shadowrun, and the setting for the MUD known as Deckeon. For nearly a decade Deckeon has strived to recreate the Third edition Shadowrun game in a role playing enforced MUD.</desc>

Most of mankind has perished in an apocalyptic war 150 years ago, and the furries (recoms) escaped the slaughter by fleeing to colonies on the moon, on Mars, and in the asteroid belt. The discovery of hyperspace jumpgates and polywell fusion reactors has led to massive space exploration, and furs now live on various worlds and space stations. Alien species have been discovered. Factions have formed, ranging from free trader associations to bounty hunter and pirate alliances, military organizations, and mysterious intelligence agencies.</desc>

     <desc>At level 100 a player can choose a second class and gain skills from that class. At 200 they can pick a triple class and gain even more skills and spells. There are also study skills which are high level and special only to the primary class. Once a player gets to 400 they have the option to remort and be born with strengths their character did not originally have. Each time a player remorts they choose a remort skill and gain more base character bonuses. There is also an alternative leveling method called tier leveling. This can only happen with a player is at level 400. They can gain tier levels to purchase special perks such as player restores, immblessings and double exp for a time.</desc>
     <desc>When a player isnt leveling they can be part of a clan, do quests, mine for gems and join sieges. We have global quests which award quest points which can be spent on character enhancements. Dwarves can mine for gems which can be embedded into weapons and armor for eq bonuses. Player and immortal run arena battles happen often so people can battle pkill. Same with sieges. Dragons come down and invade the town of Midgaard and players join the siege to fend off the dragons and win a blessing for the entire mud as well as quest points.</desc>
     <desc>Dragon Swords has been around for a long time and been through a lot. It has changed hands many times and had many contributors. Even so we've managed to survive and keep moving forward in an age of 3D massively multiplayer games. We still have players and staff who are on everyday. Some of who have played for over 10 years. There are players from all over the world and of all ages. There are more men than women as in most gaming communities. Women, we need you! But even with the limited female pop we've had quite a few marriages and relationships come out of Dragon Swords over the years. Its got history.</desc>
     <desc>So hurry up and join us. Get addicted and play everyday!</desc>

     <desc>Welcome to Age of Legends: Tales of the Lance d20 Edition!</desc>
     <desc>This new edition of the classic dragonlance mud uses strict D&amp;D 3.5e rules in all that it does.  We intend to cater not only to dragonlance mud fans, but to fans of the d20 and D&amp;D 3.5e systems as well.</desc>
     <desc>Role playing is expected on this dragonlance mud, though it is not enforced.  We have done what we can to foster a good role playing environment by including skill and dice rollers for players to use, as well as other role playing tools and commands.  If you are not a role player all we ask is that you do not disrupt the role playing of others.</desc>
     <desc>As far as game features on our dragonlance mud goes, we have plenty.  At the current state of the game, we have 7 of the basic classes done, with plans to complete two more before exiting beta, and we also have 4 prestige classes, 3 of which are knight of solamnia classes.  Once the core rules are finished to a 'T', the large amount of our development time will go towards implementing new prestige classes, including all that are in the d20 SRD.</desc>
     <desc>We use a spell memorization system with spellbooks for mages, and we have an ascii map system borrowed from tbaMUD.  Our dragonlance mud also has a fighting formation system, with positions for polearm users and ranged combat.  We have all of the basic dragonlance races as well as several advanced races for good role players.  We have plans to implement a crafting system as well.</desc>
     <desc>So come on by and check us out at Age of Legends: Tales of the Lance d20 Edition.  There's nothing like it anywhere else on the Internet, and we know 1 hour with us will have you feeling the same.</desc>

     <desc>DragonMud is the oldest TinyMud style MU* in existence, (predating Islandia by a few months) and has been continuously online since Thanksgiving of 1989. At the heart of DragonMud is an early 1800's walled city known as TinyLondon.  Perpetually pre-industrial and heavily sprinkled with magic, TinyLondon is a city of cobblestones, carriages, gaslamps, stone bridges and ancient towers. The colorful populace is made up of pirates, infiltrators, thieves, vampires, wizards, questors, merchants, poets, gypsies, ambassadors from other realms, Grand Dames and new immigrants.  DragonMud is not a hack-n-slash, rape-kill-n-plunder environment. A certain level of manners and civility is expected of all citizens. The creation and maintenance of DragonMud is focused on a commitment to user's privacy and autonomy. Patience, tolerance, fairness, understanding, wit, charm, style, curiosity and creativity are values most prized by the citizens of DragonMud.</desc>

     <desc>Star Wars: Shattered Alliance is quite possibly the most heavily roleplay oriented Star Wars MUD of it's kind. Straying from the typical classed system of RiP, SWR, and FotE, we have developed a classless system, in which you can purchase your abilities, feats, and special equipment through the means of Character Points, which are explained in-depth within the game. There are multiple skills, weapons and items -as well as a personalised stat code- to make your character as unique as possible. The way things are worked out here, the chances of seeing two characters with the same skills will be almost impossible...</desc>
     <desc>If you're tired of MUDs that promote themselves with new and exciting prospects and fail to actually produce anything, then Shattered Alliance is for you. Drop by if you think you can handle our warped senses of humour... -Omega.</desc>

     <desc>Tired of playing \"stock\" MUDs?  Core's gaming world is entirely original, and much of the code has been written from scratch.</desc>
     <desc>Core has a player-run economy.  Buy a Personal Mining Dome (PMD), build it wherevere you want on the wilderness map, and setup your own shop.  Adjacent PMDs can be linked together to form Clusters, which grants a transporation vehicle back to The Company's central complex.</desc>
     <desc>Advance to level 3 and you'll automatically be issued free housing.</desc>
     <desc>The \"newbie experience\" was completely revamped in 2007.  As soon as you step off the immigration shuttle, you'll receive an optional NPC-guided tutorial quest that'll get you equipped and teach you some of the basics.</desc>
     <desc>When your mining shift isn't on duty, put on an Environment Suit and explore Core's unique wilderness map.  Hang out in the player-run pubs, try your luck at gambling or the Stock Market, or challenge someone to a game of CoreQuad.</desc>
     <desc>The weapon system was rewritten in 2008.  In fact, the game continues to be updated and improved.  The central \"changelog\" is posted on our public web forum for all to see: http://www.coremud.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=959</desc>
     <desc>The MUD's server was moved in Summer 2008 to a server hosted by mudmagic.com, so we're no longer running off the Administrator's DSL line.  Say good-bye to the lag monster!</desc>

     <desc>* From classic horror themes to cartoons, Quake, anime and the X Files, our original areas are fun for both the exploring and kamikaze mob killer alike, some even having 300+ rooms. * Bloodbath Tower, one of the coolest Quest Areas in existence in use for the top-tiered players, which offers awesome merge quests, its own unique token system and a continuous fun challenge even for the seasoned veterans. * Various fun quests, including trivia, extreme hot potato, scavenger hunts, scrabble, socket games, dice, paintball hot potato and even mob creation/building contests. * And of course, the players and staff's personal favorite, Dreams has a MASSIVE top-tier Smurfs zone, offering hundreds of unique and hilarious mobs and objects, and a final Pokemon inspired Smurf card quest bound to keep any player up late collecting.</desc>
     <desc>Finally, what fantasy would be complete without a tiered remort system that gives access to lots of spells and skills and many unique clans full of wonderful like-minded individuals with their own guilds and clan member rooms to enjoy. So come and visit, the smurfs will be thankful for your blood.</desc>

     <desc>The 7th Plane is a highly customized game, featuring a completely original world and mythos. The primary foci of the game are PvE and character building, but there are also options for PvP and RP. The general goal is to allow for PvE, RP and PvP to integrate together seamlessly. Some of the game’s more prominent features are listed below:</desc>
     <desc>- Unique classes, with each having drastically different styles of progression and game play</desc>
     <desc>- Medium sized, original world with spatially realistic layout, making it highly walkable</desc>
     <desc>- NPCs that have complex and interesting behavioral routines, and few game mechanics to differentiate them from PCs</desc>
     <desc>- Deeply involved crafting system: create weapons, armors, items and structures from up to 90 different resources</desc>
     <desc>- Physics based game mechanics, such as: falling from heights, sinking in water, dragging heavy objects and characters, solar/lunar cycles with tides and seasonal changes producing dynamic weather that has tangible effects on the game world and characters in it</desc>
     <desc>- Skinning/butchering systems that allow for the full dissection of any creature, NPC or PC, dead or alive…</desc>
     <desc>Furthermore, The 7th Plane has almost 100% up-time and has been around for 7 years now. It is still in active development, and we welcome new ideas and suggestions for improvements from our players. You are cordially invited to join our community and become a part of the ever-growing world.</desc>

     <desc>Winds of Change has an intriguing setting after the books by Robert Jordan, where Saidin is no longer tainted and the True Power is accesible by some individuals without going through the Dark One, but at a heavy cost. We are trying to create a unique code setting, where a real channeling system, form combat, mob factions and advanced skill code are just a few of them.</desc>
     <desc>The mud is still very much in its development stages and suffered from a few heavy setbacks, but we aren't willing to give up. We're looking for some mature and talented coders/builders who are interrested in dedicating their time to create this as much as we are. We have a user friendly OLC for building and will be happy to teach you everything you need to know to use it.</desc>

     <desc>Welcome to Ivalice - A MUD based upon Square's ever popular Final Fantasy games.</desc>
     <desc>Ivalice has been running for 10+ years - One of the best things about Iv is that it is based on Final Fantasy ... It is not a Final Fantasy clone game, and no previous FF Knowledge is needed to enjoy! Come join the Unique Mudding Experience!  Players have their choice of more than twenty different FF inspired classes and homelands to choose from! Perhaps you wish to play as a Dancer from Damcyan?  Or perhaps a Rune Knight from Vector?  Or maybe a Caller from the Village of Mist?  Ivalice offers many different choices, and there is no limit to the number of characters and classes you can create and try out.</desc>
     <desc>Ivalice is a large world with more than 18,000 rooms and it is growing larger by the day thanks to the staff of Builders who continually create new areas or tweak old ones.</desc>
     <desc>We are a highly encouraged Roleplaying MUD, offering custom and unique skills and gear in exchange for 'Roleplay Points', a specific race selection and features a highly involved questing system. Armor, weaponry and other gear can be  obtained for a character of any level, some even boasting slots for shards of materia!</desc>
     <desc>Ivalice has an Overworld Map, like any true RPG, and a unique client companion (works with ANY MUD client, including telnet) to visually draw the map, complete with a 'walking' character and music!</desc>
     <desc>If you're looking for a mud with a laid-back, friendly atmosphere Ivalice is the place for you.  The mud features a highly involved staff of Immortals and Enforcers who are around to keep the peace, answer your questions, validate names descriptions and backgrounds, and to relax and talk.</desc>

     <desc>In DUMII you start your life as a young adventurer, and then set out to explore the world to gain power as well as treasures, finding adventures and friends along the way. Unlike most other muds, you don't gain any experience for killing things, but there are still plenty of foes to fight. When the gods notice your progress, you are challenged with a quest to solve on your way to eternal fame and immortality.</desc>
     <desc>DUMII has a high quality standard with both its world and its features. Some of the features are:</desc>
     <desc>* Classless &amp; raceless system (be any class/race you want). * Four different alignments, with different quests to solve. * Player-run guilds. * No rent for your saved equipment. * Very friendly parser. Either of 'get the egg from the basket.' or the abbreviated 'g e b' is valid. * Very newbie friendly, with well-written help pages and friendly players to help you. No detailed character creation. * An extensive list of original actions/socials is available to all players, with free-text emote commands available to responsible role-players as well. * Built-in macros/aliases, automapping and word wrapping. You can set your page width and page height, and the server will adapt to it. * There are no fixed colours anywhere; all colours can be changed to your own preferences. * Many games are available like Fourday's Bindings or Kalah. * You can buy your unique, personal home and it can be located almost anywhere in the world.</desc>

     <desc>Dune III MUSH is set roughly 100 years prior to the opening of Dune, with House Corrino being firmly in control of the Imperium. Houses Atreides and Harkonnen are not nearly so pivotal to the plot as they are in the novel, though they do have a presence in the game. The Fremen, an unknown entity at this point in the timeline, have no real contact with the Known Universe. The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood remains quietly but firmly intertwined in the affairs of the Imperium, the true depth of their subtle influences sensed by none beyond their order. Kaitain, the Imperial Seat, is the center of role-play, although RP on the hereditary and contractual fiefs of the Houses Major is supported and encouraged.</desc>
     <desc>Politics and intrigue are the hands which weave intricate storylines and plots amongst the players. To ensure the focus remains on the RP, DuneIII does not employ the use of a combat system, and economy is only minimally coded to support the CHOAM contract system. You will find no hack and slash gaming on DuneIII; the outcome of physical clashes will be determined based on consent between the players involved. The tenet of IC (In Character) Actions leading to IC Consequences (ICA=ICC) is a concept of importance to all.</desc>

The former welfare state has now become a ruthless Empire, seeking to extinguish the emerging Avite resistance; former slaves and outcasts of society. The earth is scarred with urban sprawl, the only places where metallic buildings and deep artificial caves are not constructed are upon the treacherous outskirts of the continents, now ruled by revolutionary tribes and self-liberated cyborgs. Even a central intelligence has arisen from what was known before as the internet. People of all financial and social backgrounds use this virtual reality like a drug, plugging into it for entertainment, cybercrime profit, or long distance buisness. But outside the cities and wastelands, bitter conflicts arise between the Union and those who resist it.So from droid hunters, Union marines, hackers, anarchists, biopunks, and spaceship designers, find your place amongst the fog of the world of ArsonMUD.</desc>

     <desc>Welcome to the mystical fantasy world that is The Edge of Darkness. Within this ancient alternate reality lies a vast medieval realm know as Doraak, filled with adventure, danger and wonders beyond imagination. Almost every type of terrain conceivable can be found within Doraak's ever expanding boundaries..from the icy arctic wastelands to the mine-filled Tahrenian mountain ranges of the dwarves. There are the sprawling grasslands of the west and the great barren deserts of the far south. There are numerous islands in the northern and southern oceans and there are the measureless swamps of the east. There are all these regions, plus hundreds more just waiting to be explored. And throughout all of these lands lie countless ancient forests, some of which are bright and pleasant, yet others are damp, dark and perilous. In this realm, any path can lead to discovery, adventure...or death!  These wild, rugged lands are only recently beginning to yield to the influences of civilized society, as the many humanoid races of Doraak struggle to establish small pockets of civilization amongst the far-reaching and untamed wilderness. There are a number of cities and villages that can provide safe haven to a weary adventurer. However, even these seemingly peaceful towns can offer far more than just a good night's rest, to the inquisitive or careless explorer.  In spite of humankind's best efforts, there are still dark forces at work within Doraak, which seek to undermine all that has been accomplished. Both the minions of evil and the misguided good lurk everywhere throughout the realms, and beyond, building strength and patiently waiting for their time to come again...  So come and test your might, your skill and your cunning against all that The Edge of Darkness has in store...for the world of Doraak awaits its next savior...or victim!</desc>

Set between the times of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Elendor is devoted to providing a quality roleplaying environment where activity is primarily social and interactive rather than automated. On Elendor, players may take on a character from any of 5 different races and 22 different cultures of Middle-earth, each of which has a dedicated staff of players ready to help you learn the game and how to play. The staff on Elendor is especially helpful and friendly to players who are new to Tolkien and/or to MUSHing in general.</desc>
     <desc>The roleplaying environment on Elendor consists of a beautiful and accurate representation of Tolkien's land of Middle-earth where room descriptions change dynamically with the time of day, seasons, and weather. Elendor has an extensive global command system that includes a finely-tuned skill/stat-based combat system, a full economic system with several forms of currency, an elaborate language system with support for 19 different spoken and written Tolkien languages, and a convenient wardrobe system with which you can create a detailed col- lection of descriptions for your character. Elendor also provides a custom designed chat system with over 100 channels and its own mailer system equipped with over 100 bulletin boards where players plan game activities and discuss Tolkien's writing.</desc>

Offering a wealth of features not found on its competitors, it brings totally unique guilds, noble Houses, sophisticated multi-classing, bloodlines, stamina, player run newspapers, exploration rewards, and much much more to an arena awash with 'stock' alternatives.</desc>
     <desc>Elephant Mud allows PK, but it is socially controlled. The town Council can bounty, fine, jail and execute people for breaking the law. Laws are both set and enforced by players and Council have sophisticated investigative tools as their disposal. A clever criminal still has a chance of course, and the fight between law and chaos goes on eternally.</desc>
     <desc>The mud is set in a medieval/dark ages world, where magic, not science, is the key area of research. Humans, Dwarves, Elves and many other races rub shoulders and work with (and against) each other to defend, or bring down the town of Drakenwood and its environs. It is a dangerous world, but a world equally of great rewards, and truely has something for everyone.</desc>
     <desc>Elephant Mud has 3000-4000 regular players, many of which have been playing for in excess of 5 years with a notable number who have been here for 7, 8, 9 or even 10 years.

     <desc>Dragonlance, forgotten realms based mud with unique classes, skills, leveling, questing, heart thumping war and fusion systems. You don't choose a class, you choose the skills according to how much your brain can hold, and the class will be assigned to you.</desc>
     <desc>This works great for multi-classing. The leveling system extends to 50 and upon there, you gain the ability to fuse with another player and restart at level 5. This fusion mixes both genes and race creating a more powerful next generation being something that was never been before. This makes for endless replaying and customising.</desc>
     <desc>During fusion any of the other players limbs and/or genes can be transferred to you and vice versa, but be careful, genes can also be lost. Stats and attributes will also increase or decrease accordingly. No two players will ever be the same. With the exception of standard weapon attacks, combat and spell casting time is not randomised, you employ full control of when you cast the next spell or strike the next hit through our unique action point system.</desc>

     <desc>Ever wanted to be a pirate in deep space? What about the fearsome rivalries of pirates - the great Ninjas?</desc>
     <desc>They battle now - in space between their homeworlds.</desc>
     <desc>The heroic gritty Cowboys of Planet Texas try to keep the intergalactic peace between all factions from their desert, gold- ridden world.  Though with train robbers, horse thieves, indian agents and mexican bandits the Space Rangers often have their own things to do.</desc>
     <desc>Meanwhile, the Ninjas train to kill and hide in the misty, mountaineous and temple-dotted slopes of The Unknown Planet.  Sake pours in streams, there's always killing to be done and its' said, giant monsters come up occasionally to destroy the coastal cities.</desc>
     <desc>And drinking their sins away, the Space Pirates rumble, party and wench (As well as occasional off-planet plunderings) on the space- rock of Tortuga - home of the infamous mechanical parrot race, rum trees and all the bar fights and wenches you want.</desc>
     <desc>The dreaded bloat of the Bureaucracy reaches its' fingers out from the cloudy ring-planet of Corporat to bring all under its' heel... if it could just get through all the red tape it needs to dominate the universe!</desc>
     <desc>On the orb of the Enchanted Planet, dragons fly the skies - heroic knights rescue princesses and elves dance merrily in the forests, while wizards cast great spells and rabbits threaten the darker lands.  A tale like that of King Arthur and his knights, faeries dance and the wine flows, while challenges and tournaments abound.</desc>
     <desc>On Movieworld, most people prefer to live in Stunt City - where is typical to go to work riding atop a taxi cab, deliver letters by Motorcycling into the lobby, and other such things. It not only keeps the window-makers employed, but adds much spice to it.  A suburb of Film Noir Strip is known for its' private eyes and blood red lips while one street - Sesame Street - is much more lighthearted and has a fully operational theatre.</desc>
     <desc>The last, and most unusual World available is Skylaria - here, it seems that the dimensional rift has been broken, and people of all sorts have come through. Ninja Turtles, transformers - all let loose on the quiet, forested and beautiful lands of Skylaria. How will THEY change Fate?</desc>

A multi-continental world connected by ships and dragonflight forms an epic world with a large and long history.</desc>
     <desc>A system of introductions allows anonymous playing where others only see your descriptions rather than names unless you wish otherwise.  This along with a magic system that uses memorization instead of mana, learn by use instead of practicing, skill based intensity of spells rather than lost concentrations, along with years of other modifications and you've got something unique.</desc>
     <desc>We support the usual multiple coin types, bankers, colors, etc. that go with most muds.  Empires interface is dominated more by words rather than numbers and this adds to the role playing context.</desc>

     <desc>If you've never seen our mud, allow me to provide a brief description. We are based on an entirely original world, that has over 20k rooms in numerous areas, and even an overland area for you to explore.  We have several cities, and a multitude of creatures and items in our world.</desc>
     <desc>We have some original classes and concepts, including squires, who can become Paladins and Anti-Paladins, and rogues which become Assassins. We strictly enforce RP, but our PK system is not restricted by code. PK must be RP'd to be legal, and we deal quickly and effectively with bad players.  We try hard to be as newbie friendly as possible, we have a helpful staff and our playerbase is quickly returning. In addition, we offer a system of faith-based Orders, that have places for players to assume leadership positions.</desc>
     <desc>If you're looking for a good place to RP with fun, friendly players, please check us out.  Also on the horizon is an OOC voice chat system that players will have access to, and a web page is in the works.  We had over 5 years of development before, and now we're back, and looking to move into the future.  Give us a shot, and I think you'll be pleased.</desc>

But if you look, you will find some old favorites thrown into the mix as well. The other two programmers and I have now taken it upon ourselves to fully redesign each of our ten classes. This is going to be an exciting time!</desc>
     <desc>We are a VERY HIGHLY modified ROM that focuses first and foremost on our players desires.  We strive to be as newbie friendly as we can.  Draknor offers a game that is easy to use and easy to learn.  There are many levels, clans, abilities and more.  And for those that have attained level 80, an entire new system of hunting to counter the typical experience gain will be found. Making \"Everyday Hero\" a great deal more fun!</desc>
     <desc>We at Draknor hope to see you join us soon, we are a growing MUD that would love any support or input that you may have. Remember, a MUD is not what the Immortals make it. We are at the mercy of our players, and LOVE to make things that they suggest. Come and give us a try, you'll love it!</desc>

     <desc>Kingdoms fight a three sided battle to win for their own views. While RP is not widely used, it is accepted and tolerated. Newbies may be thought of as spies when they first create. Newbies who stay and level will see things will change. Most players are willing to help out newbies. Some players will be testing the newbies before helping.</desc>
     <desc>AoW has a small immstaff who attempt to help as much as possible. While always working from the shadows. Imm's have very, VERY, little interaction with the PBase. This is done as not to interfere with the flow of the mud.</desc>

     <desc>On the south coast of Estria, between T'shombe Forest and the Great Ocean, rests the island city state of Anaj Naiesta. From the islands of Dhynara, in the east, come ships bearing spices and other wares. These diametrically differing cultures render Anaj Naiesta a place of unsurpassed diversity. It is  in this city that we set the scene.  Dark Prophets MUSH is a game focusing on quality role-play in an interesting environment. The theme is original, a tale of generic fantasy juxtaposed with an Arabian Nights style culture, and features despotic prophets, brave warriors, independent artists and wise sages. The game deals with the eternal struggle between the light and the dark, between what is right and what is wrong.  It should be noted that DarkProphets does NOT employ a combat system, an econ system, or even a magic system. This is an RP by consent mush, where we believe that through a minimal amount of code we can achieve a better quality of free-form rp.  That said, player backgrounds are encouraged after a player has been with us for a few weeks, and code does exist for taking care of that.  (Mailing List: darkprophets@yahoogroups.com )</desc>

A ship system, Housing systems, an extended stats system, hiscore boards, customized equipment, a dragonball wish system, extensive race and skill options, a skill capsule system akin to 'Dragonball Z : Budokai', rewards for dogged players, over 180 skills split between over 10 races, unique abilities like bodyswap, egg laying and genocide attack, poll and voting systems, and a unique 'train' command.</desc>
     <desc>There is no limit to player statistics, with technically infinite hitpoints and kipoints available, and players can indulge in side-missions, roleplaying, item hunting, and more real-life tasks, such as fishing, and creating their own items. Roleplay is automatically rewarded by the MUD, and the points gained can be used in a number of ways - Including Fusion. Points earned from completing missions goes towards jobs, or small rewards, like power increases or items.</desc>

     <desc>For those of you brand-new to Mystical, we are a heavily modified CircleMud, with a fantasy/medieval theme. We are very newbie friendly, and offer a wide variety of classes/races, and an extensive selection of zones, skills, and spells. We offer limited PK to those who wish to PvP. We have a mature theme, and a staff of very skilled and dedicated builders and coders who continually make advances and improvements. Roleplaying events, such as Quests, offer a system by which the purchase of special equipment may be obtained (using Quest Points), and social events are held regularly for both fun and quest points as well. Here, friends made last a lifetime, as the MUD has many players who have been here longer than a decade.</desc>
     <desc>In the realm of Mystical, Darknights wage war against Paladins, Dragons soar the skies, and everywhere the struggle to gain power goes on. Alone, or with your comrades, you may seek power and glory with your blade, your spells, or both. Let the death cry of your foes be your battle song. Adventure, explore, battle, and overcome!</desc>

It wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to say you were writing your own legacy, but you just never realized it until it was over. You've longed to recapture that magic, but never knew, deep down, if it was possible.</desc>
     <desc>It is now.</desc>
     <desc>AnimeMUD has been an anchor in the mudding community for the last decade. Everyone has tried taking a shot at it, which had caused a lot of unnecessary changes, and a lack of stability. With any online MUD, a lack of stability leads to impending doubt. The doubt is over.</desc>
     <desc>The current owner has IMPed for the last 2.5 years on AnimeMUD, and Mudding for 15+ years. Don't expect this place to go anywhere. Ever.</desc>
     <desc>AnimeMUD offers revamped races, all perfectly balanced (it was a long time coming for that change to occur, previously). There's a brand new 'Adventure Point' system that overthrew the Quest Token regime. Humans have a chance to evolve to a Demon or an Esper, and Sayajins have a chance to evolve into a rare Super-Saiyajin evolution.</desc>
     <desc>Clans, Global Quests, Pk-Quests, a brand new 'Wish List' character upgrade system available on the Autoquest list. We have it all. There's a reason AnimeMUD has been here since the beginning. Jump on the bandwagon, and get ready to write your own legacy!</desc>

However, we think will these will only serve to enrich and add to the mud world we're re-creating. Thanks for reading, and we hope you'll join us!</desc>

Building on Ingvi's World is highly encouraged: there are no builder quotas and we intend never to have to impose them.  City areas stand ready for your imagination, along with wild lands.  New areas will be created on request.  Preybots have been implemented in the wild lands for those who like to hunt.  IW is a varied place, with room for the creativity of many minds.

Temples can be raided by followers of an enemy god, and you might loose recall and most of your prayers won't work until you re-raid.</desc>
     <desc>We have unique area set and solid world concept with creation story, map and such. No Midgaard. You can choose a town to live in.</desc>

     <desc>Mobs and even some items act wise, and there are many quests within our areas. You won't get bored. Race/Hometown/Class/Religion combinations provide enough different roles for you to play.</desc>

If you are an expirienced player, and tired of countless stock area bases with no concept, nothing new to explore and no role to play - Fandra will be a pleasant surprise for you.</desc>

     <desc>Lands of Delusion has so much to offer. Unlike other MUDs we are the true Final Fantasy fanatics that started basic and built our way to what is now a great MUD. If you like Final Fantasy this is the MUD for you. The MUD has a great unique touch as well as an easy to understand feel. Aside from players and immortals being friendly and the areas being well known, there is alot more to it then that. This MUD has more then just PK, leveling your character up, casting some magic and just running around killing time while chatting. We offer CHOCOBO BREEDING, CLANS/GOVERNEMENTS (with divisions that hold ranks), new STAT SYSTEM, new LEVELING SYSTEM, new HELP FILE system, a very unique MATERIA SYSTEM, a VERY LARGE over view WORLD MAP, and much more. Did I mention everything within this MUD is completely themed from Final Fantasy? The areas are built straight from the games, 21 Final Fantasy races, 5 Final Fantasy clans, 8 Final Fantasy classes, random encounters (depending on your location), save points to recall back to that location, many channels to chat through, and much much more. The MUD is in BETA, so for you players that want to get a jump start on the others, get the feel for the MUD before it opens. Log on, chat a bit, explore the world of a true Final Fantasy themed/based MUD.  We are currently working on adding Triple Triad and Chocobo Racing.</desc>

It has a dedicated, addicted, &amp; friendly player base from all over the world that enjoys meeting new people and interacting.  TFC attracts a variety of types of players. You'll find players who place a heavy emphasis on role- playing, those who are PKers, those who enjoy the puzzles, challenges, and mobmasteries in the game, those who enjoy exploring the almost entirely unique 12,000+ room world, those who like to sit and chat, &amp; those who are a mixture of all of the above.  And you won't get lost in the crowd - since there are generally 20-30 people online at a time.</desc>
     <desc>TFC has a god-follower system and a variety of alignment flavors that a character can choose from.  Of course, characters can also go it on their own and remain unaligned.  Characters may dual and triple class as well. Players may also have multiple characters (and many do), so long as they are not online at the same time and are played as separate individuals.

Plots of every scale, both player and staff-driven, political and social movements of unprecedented size, and a community both dedicated and driven are at the core.</desc>

     <desc>Final Realms offers many things that you will not find anywhere else.  Our world contains over 25,000 custom made rooms.  Each race has their own city and language, as well as a common language that can be understood by all players.</desc>
     <desc>Unlike other MUDS, you will not find yourself maxing out your character within a week or two and growing bored.  We do not have a level limit that is even reachable within several years of play.  You will always be able to continue to grow and gain in power for as long as you choose too.</desc>
     <desc>Each character selects a race and guild from a vast assortment, and will learn a different variety of abilities and spells based upon your choice.  Players may also choose to reincarnate at level 21 for a chance to become a special race that cannot be chosen, although all reincarnations do not go well.  Players earn a title related to your development, rank and player-elected status with the option of hiding your title to keep your guild a secret.</desc>
     <desc>Final Realms also differs from others with built in systems similar to settings you would find on different clients for targeting, name coloring, movement, status window and other things to close the gap for players who have to use telnet.</desc>
     <desc>Players may create, organize and expand their own groups that are dedicated to specific purposes.  There are also many existing Clans, Groups, Houses, and Families that players can join, control and advance in rank.</desc>
     <desc>There are several hundred quests that populate Final Realms with puzzles, mazes, keys to find and doors to unlock.  Artifacts of great power and treasures of incredible value are guarded by dragons, demons and a vast assortment of other foul beasts.  Quests come in a variety of ways that will test your characters physical ability, your mental prowess or a combination of both to varying degrees of difficulty ranging from soloable, party or raid.  Magical items, spells and abilities are earned from their completion.  We also schedule and run an OMIQ (Online Mini Interactive Quest) about once every two months.  Always hugely popular with players, these quests offer very rare and powerful items that are only obtainable by winning.</desc>
     <desc>The combat system is highly developed and balanced between melee abilities and spells, making a fun and challenging PK environment. Each guild has there own unique commands and spells that grow in power as the player gains in levels and skills that are not only trainable but are also gained free by performing abilities that relate to them.</desc>
     <desc>If your ready for a truly unique experience, or want the competition we have to offer then login and feel free to ask anyone for assistance.  We are very newbie friendly, and you will be given a newbie tag on creation that makes it impossible for others to harm you until you have reached lvl 18 or exceeded 6 million experience.</desc>

     <desc>Shadowrun Germany MUX is set amid this chaotic yet lucrative hotbed of the Sixth World, based on the Germany Sourcebook and incorporating Third Edition rules and Expansions. We allow a wide variety of character classes restricted or disallowed elsewhere, including metahuman variants, ghouls, and even shapeshifters. Magical character slots are available, and other shadowrunner archetypes-- fixers, deckers, riggers, street samurai, mercenaries, demolitions experts, intrusion specialists, assassins, melee combat masters, and just about anything else you could think of--are allowed virtually without restriction.

Sometimes they may meet for passing moments, creating chaos and confusion before fading back just as quickly into normality. And once in a while, these realities don't just brush past each other; they converge.</desc>
     <desc>Universe Unlimited is a mixed-theme super MUX with a unique, ongoing global TP. The world of UU is one of brave heroes, scheming villains and strange, unexplainable phenomenon. People are filled with both awe and fear at the rise of mutants and metahumans. Odd occurrences across the globe have raised worries about the stability of the world itself. Could these be the end times? The fallout from careless industry? Or is this is the beginning of a new age? Universe Unlimited is a world of adventure and wonder, mystery and intrigue. Enter the Universe, solve the mystery, and save the world...or worlds.</desc>

     <desc>This MUD is based on the more classic worlds of Squaresoft. We have recreated almost entire realms from from Final Fantasy 5, 6, 7, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana for your MUDding enjoyment, with odds and ends from other games. Using a Job System mostly based off of FFT and FF5, and special additions from everything to FF9 to Saga Frontier to Final Fantasy Legend, a player can change their abilities at most any point. We offer a newbie school to teach the intricacies and quirks of our MUD, which we strongly encourage using as this MUD isn't quite like your average MUD. We will also answer questions on the newbie channel that is automatically turned on for new characters, and raising other people from death is quite common. A very play-friendly MUD, with a lot to explore.</desc>
     <desc>As a note, while the descriptors say that we're not adult-oriented (there is no 'adult-oriented' play), the gossip channel is not necessarily somewhere you'd want a young child to hang out.</desc>

     <desc>Welcome to Crimson Nightmares. This is an updated listing to the original. The code base is GW2K modified in an extreme manner. A lot of pride is taken, And every attempt is made to accommodate player ideas and suggestions. Players have been responsible for the idea's that created 2 new custom classes. We currently offer the following classes: Angel, Cyborg, Demon, Dragon, Drow, Elemental, Mage, Ninja, Phoenix, Vampire, and Werewolf. With the exception of Cyborg's, every class can be combined together giving us over 80 possible combo's of multiclassing (cyborgs are being added currently). We have a functional weather system, with random lightning that is real, meteor storms, and more being added weekly. Players can now create several custom messages to enhance thier gameplay to what suits them instead of pre-determined messages.</desc>
     <desc>We have re-worked our staff, and have changed our approach to player relations in the hopes of generating an even larger player base in the future. This MUD requires time and effort, and nothing is just handed to you here. If you want a MUD with a challenge, come check us out.</desc>

     <desc>The time of darkness has begun again. The cold winds sweep out of the north, blowing snow and sleet ahead of it, the outriders of the cold fingers of death clutching at the throats of the unwary, the unprepared. Crossing virgin snow through the Taiga, the warrioress lifts a hand to shield her eyes against the blowing snow oblivious to the shadows unseen and unheard in the snow around her. Tightening the grip on her bow, she continues onwards, the message she carries safely tucked away in a traveling pouch, the seal of the kingdom declaring its urgency. Head down leaning into the blowing snow, unaware that as she moves into the darkening day something even darker than the approaching night now has her in its gaze. Rising up behind her, the ice worm takes careful measure of her, slipping along the top of the snow, freezing it as it moves into a solid sheet of ice beneath it. As the wind drops and the lady-warrior, a ranger by trade, hears the tell-tale snap of ice in her wake, she immediately whirls and comes face to face with the adversary, with icy death.</desc>
     <desc>A mother comforts a small child in the night, explaining away the faint screams as the cry of the wolf, hunting in the blizzard, but she knows the cold truth in her heart. Dark times are again on the horizon and simple folk know better than to try and rise up and challenge the creatures that come with the snow. Turning back the covers in her own bed, climbing in next to her husband, exhausted from the days labours, she says a silent prayer in the night. Hoping and praying - beseeching whatever gods may be for a hero, someone who will come and save them from the darkness as it rises.</desc>
     <desc>Sometimes the simple kindnesses bestowed upon the common people are enough to win their favour, answering a whispered prayer as the snow howls in around the eaves, lifting up a fallen comrade on the field of battle, researching the spell or potion that will save the wife of the village magistrate, miles from the heart of Vintermor and without hope other than what heros may come.</desc>
     <desc>This is the stuff of which reputations, livelihoods, legends are made of.</desc>
     <desc>o - Do you have what it takes to be a saviour to the people?</desc>
     <desc>o - Do you have what it takes to rise up and slay the wicked?</desc>

     <desc>o - Do you lust for vengeance?</desc>

     <desc>o - Which side of the coin do you pray will fall when the toss comes?</desc>

     <www>http://jm.eraniss.org</www>
     <desc>This MUD is named Jusenkyo Mordor for reasons which are unlikely to become clear again at the moment. Suffice it to say, the action of the game takes place neither in Jusenkyo nor Mordor. Instead it takes place in a completely unique world held loosely together by conventions of convenience, innumerable influences from the realms of sci-fi and fantasy and just a touch of sanity added in a vain attempt to keep plots moving forward in a line slightly less circuitous than a M.C. Escher painting.</desc>
     <desc>The setting for Jusenkyo Mordor is the floating islands of Eraniss and the surface continent below. New characters first arrive in the crystal city of Girralatia through the Nexus. The Nexus is a strange mass of chaotic magic at a point near many other worlds or universes. It is the Nexus that plucks characters from their homeworld and flings them into this one while subjugating them to undesired physical changes and often not even allowing death as an escape.</desc>
     <desc>Eraniss is a tumultuous place, with imported technology, magic and ideas beginning to spread in a world where native magic is prevalent. Constant new arrivals add to the growing number of denizens, diverse in their culture, ideas, abilities and desires.</desc>
     <desc>Jusenkyo Mordor is a roleplaying MUD (originally based on the Mordor code base though the combat system, spells, stats, etc have been removed as the focus has shifted purely to free form RP).  JM is comprised of a small community of players most of whom take turns in GMing plot events and/or building/administrating a part of the game world.  The result is a unique roleplaying environment where everyone contributes to the evolution of the game.</desc>
     <desc>To help cut down on any OOC chatter within the MUD itself, RP sessions are usually organized on the MUD's &amp;lt;a href=\"irc://eldrasia.dyndns.org:6667/Botmud\"&amp;gt;IRC channel&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; (eldrasia.lunarnet.org 6667 channel #botmud) so new players may log in to find that no one appears to be on the MUD at the moment.  That doesn't mean players aren't around for RP, though!  New players are encouraged to pop into the IRC channel as well as peruse the &amp;lt;a href=\"http://jm.eraniss.org\"&amp;gt;online wiki&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; which has information regarding the game world, character bios, recent RP logs and other useful information.</desc>

     <desc>GD2K is based upon the comic book series 'Gold Digger' by Fred Perry. Gold Digger is a mix of fantasy, action- adventure, comedy, and many other things. The main characters include an Indiana Jones type adventurer, her adopted were-cheetah sister, the clone they accidentally created who is a mix of the both of them; an alien from another world; and an eight-year-old boy who is a genius at genetics and has created his own three-person army consisting of a ninja, a magic-user, and a genetically enhanced brawler. The adventurer, one Gina Diggers, is the daughter of an arch-mage father from Earth and a master armswoman/adventurer from the magical realm of Jade. Her sister Britanny is the last surviving were-cheetah, rescued by Gina's father from the brutal were-cheetah/were-wolf war 21 years ago, and brought back to Atlanta with his family.</desc>
     <desc>Gold Digger also includes leprechauns, troll archmages, harpies, evil sentient time-travelling dogs, Altantis, Shangra-La, were-creatures of many different kinds, and much more.</desc>

     <desc>MUDII is one of only two sites in the world hosting the latest version of MUD, the very first multi-player adventure game. MUD1 or EssexMUD (as the original MUD is now known as) was developed by Richard Bartle &amp; Roy Trubshaw in 1978 at Essex University, England. Since 1978 MUD has been in constant development resulting in a highly original and fun game that can be played here today.</desc>
     <desc>MUDII is a MUD that is set in a timeless alternative reality. This is a world where you can be who you want when you want. The community at MUDII is large and very friendly, they are always willing to welcome and help out newbies. Quests, Houses (guilds), competitions, events, mud-related online magazines and numerous associated websites are all part and parcel of this incarnation of MUD.</desc>
     <desc>MUDII was created in 2001 to run the game for the community that previously played on Wireplay. MUD2 had been running on Wireplay since August 1997 until the game was closed down there.</desc>
     <desc>MUDII is now entirely free to play.</desc>

     <desc>Beauty was originally loosely based on the BDSM books by Anne Rice titled 'Sleeping Beauty'. However, it has drastically changed &amp; very little has to do with the books at all. It is a fantasy place for RP with variences in sci-fi technology and a feudal type of society encouraging BDSM type of play/RP. Beauty chargen does not restrict race or abilities-most of everything is up to the player's RP ability. We try to accommodate all players here. We do not enforce BDSM play, or any other kind of play, in OOC area. On the grid, you are likely to see public BDSM displays.  The premise is simple: A magical island has an evil ruler, Masters/Mistresses and slaves. I'll leave the rest up to your imagination. If you want to come and be a furry, warrior, wizard, dragon, cyborg, etc...you are welcome. The island is timeless so there are a variety of  races/types/creeds in play and everyone is also welcome to just come and hang out at the OOC Lounge. So come to Beauty and make it your home. It's a beautiful and fun place to be.</desc>

     <desc>The United States government and its allies decided that in the case of a full invasion of Earth by the Gou'ald or another hostile alien race, there should be a secondary site that in the worst case could be used to keep our species alive. The site was named Omega Base because this is the End, it is the last stand for humanity. The base is filled with civilian and military officials from the US, Canada, England and Russia who work together to make Edan into a new world by means of the ARK Project, a biological terra-forming missive to populate the planet with Earth species and a full ecological food chain.</desc>
     <desc>One jump away is the mysterious planet of Unity which offers a large market and bazaar at an interplanetary nexus, a place for respite four the SGC members out so far from home. Also it is filled with many people and things that could help Earth or hinder it in its mission.</desc>
     <desc>We have a multi-year story arc in place that takes our game into new worlds and the chance to meet new races, all with the spirit and feeling of the series. Exploration is still one of the main goals of the SGC, working hand in hand with the ARK Project to make this world our best hope for survival.</desc>

Along with the struggle and hope, comes chaos and strife with the emergence of the Sith. It is a time of building, a time of subtleties, and a time of silence just before the storm. A thin line is walked between calm and chaos, but stretches tighter with each passing day.  The MUSH is open and IC. All players are welcomed, please log in as Guest and use the +register command.

     <desc>The mud offers players a growing list of races, including Human, Elf, Moogle, Half-Elf, Half-Lunar, Kelban and Dwarf. Also, players can alternate between over 60 classes -- including knights, paladins, ninjas, assassins, archmagi, thief, and treasure hunters -- through a system borrowed from Final Fantasy Tactics.  This allows players to select both a primary class and a secondary class, combining the abilities of both.</desc>
     <desc>Four of Squaresoft's most popular games (Final Fantasy 1, Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 5 and Final Fantasy 6) are combined in an already large and constantly growing network of worlds with an overall plot that links all of them.</desc>
     <desc>Although it is currently still under Gamma testing, players and ancients (wizards) are newbie friendly, quests are plentiful, and there is much discovering to be made. Players are welcome to submit ideas, as well as contribute in world wide quests run by the administration. For the avid Final Fantasy fan, or just one looking for a mud to play, this game is definately something to consider playing.</desc>

The busy streets of Midgaard are filled with many different peoples, but they all seem to live together in peace. As I look over to Valhalla, I see the gods smiling; even at times lending a helpful hand to mortals in need of help. Many of the creatures have banded together as tribes to help each other out, and they are filled with the comradely and brotherhood of belonging. I have watched these creatures of every race and alignment band together to protect what is theirs. Against other creatures who were bent on tearing their world asunder, even the young heroes of this world will fight for it. This world we call Emperia calls out to those who are looking for a home--you are welcome here.</desc>
     <desc>Emperia is a flourishing mud, with a diverse player base and an experienced staff dedicated to creating a fun and exciting atmosphere for all.  Emperia is continuously improving and some of our features include:</desc>

     <desc>Harshlands is a FREE roleplay intensive, skills-based MUD set on the island of Harn (Columbia Games). Standard 'hack and slash' play is seriously dissuaded, with levels, classes and experience points non-existent. Players can choose to pursue careers, including herbalist, journeyman craftsmen, soldier,criminal, clery, law enforcer and many more.</desc>
     <desc>Players proving to be skilled and dedicated are offered choices that include shop ownership, master level craftsmanship, nobility and many advanced professions. For those unfamiliar with Harn, it is a world based on a composite of 9th-12th century Britain.  The world has over 16,000 original rooms in smoothly integrated universally consistant zones, ten deities, five human ethnic and cultural groups, and three non-human races selectable by players of proven ability.</desc>
     <desc>While the thrust and focus of the game is serious roleplay, the world remains a deadly and harsh environment, where life is risky and death is permanent. Recently upgraded code includes account system, wound-based combat system with wound treatment/infection code, upgraded AI, crafts, and numerous small refinements to promote RP.</desc>

     <desc>4 Dimensions is set at a time after a massive nuclear war has caused great rifts in the Time Warp of Universe. Due to those rifts, generally known as 'Time Traps', you can travel freely between different time periods. Some enterprising people have set up a Travel Agency, making it easier for adventurous Travellers to explore the different Dimensions of Time.</desc>
     <desc>There are 4 main 'Worlds' that you can visit; Pre Historic, Medieval, Old West and Future, each with 100% unique zones - you won't find any stock areas in 4D. This makes our mud especially interesting for those that like the extra challenge of exploring and solving Quests. Even our Mud School is customized, with 4 grades (one for each Dimension) and a unique 'Quest Academy' at the top, teaching some of the tricks of mudding, that usually only very experienced players know about.</desc>
     <desc>At present there are over 200 zones, more than 70000 rooms and over hundred built-in Quests of varying difficulty. Many of our long time players build for us, so the world is growing at a steady rate. With the Quest prizes you can buy some of our special 'features' like crash-proof houses, and personalized equipment, pets, mounts and vehicles.</desc>
     <desc>4D is and will always be totally free to play, although we have more features than many Pay-to-Play Muds. Our remort and skill system is very advanced, allowing you to continuously improve your character. The full potential of the Game only unfolds as you play it, but already in Mud School you'll get a taste of what to expect later on.</desc>
     <desc>So come and enjoy one of the most developed and original free Muds on the net! Some of the content in the zones is a bit 'mature', so this is not a mud for the very young or very prudish.</desc>

     <desc>Based in a Year One universe, XMA offers a somewhat different theme, combining several elements, and veers off into its own direction. At the core of the game is the idea of balance. For every good, there's a corresponding evil. For everyone fighting for a certain dream, there's an opponent bent on squashing it. For the X-Men, it is the Hellfire Club. For the New Mutants, it is the Brotherhood's Hellions. For the Morlocks, its the evil that consumes the underbelly of New York. And for the Brotherhood itself, its the Friends of Humanity and the schemers of the world.</desc>
     <desc>After a tragic accident several years ago, the X-Men and the high school students have fallen under the wing of Magneto, a close friend of their former mentor. Established in New York, they attend the Massachusetts Academy, an Upper West Side boarding school with one of the best reputations in the world. As each group grows more organized, change comes in shocking and new ways. With several forces scheming in the backgrounds, each team will have their hands full in the quest for survival, and ultimately, balance.</desc>

     <desc>Starwars Imperial Awakening (started Jan 2002) is 4 years after Return Of The Jedi. The Empire, run by Grand Admiral Thrawn, is working to not only pull the Empire together, but to win the battle against the Rebel Alliance. Princess Leia, Captain Margo Wethers, and General Crix Madine are dealing with a vast number of victories as the Rebel Alliance, under the direction of the New Republic Council, push towards their goal of forming the New Republic.</desc>
     <desc>The last year has found both Rebel and Imperial forces in a sector of space that had previously been inaccessible. The battle for the Jedi Holocron has been won by the Rebels, and all have returned to normal space now that Nablis is once again shut off from the outside Galaxy.</desc>
     <desc>Much to the dismay of the Empire, the Rebels have gained much while they were occupied in Nablis, and to further concern the Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn himself has been captured when he returned ahead of the ISD Chimaera in an effort to save Coruscant (which he was successful in doing).</desc>
     <desc>SWIA is in a state of rebuilding its playerbase, so there are many FC's available along with great potential for independent characters.</desc>

HW is based on Merc/Diku mud code and has been around since 1992. If you like the Merc system, then you will love us. Some areas have been kept from the original Merc world for players familiar with them.  Our creation team is working to keep the good old Merc Diku feeling with new and custom areas. If you are looking for a simple, fun mud with a good social atmosphere, give HW a spin. This isn't Circle, Envy, Merc II, Rom, Rot, Smaug or other variants of Merc. It's the way mudding used to be. And we like it like that.  We support limited player killing, clans, quests, marriages, chaoses and lots of hack and slash. There are more adventures to enjoy than we quickly describe, so come and experience them for yourself!  Join us and journey through the Hidden Worlds of your imagination.</desc>

     <desc>The Hollow World</desc>
     <desc>The planet of the Known World is not a solid ball like our Earth is. In fact it's hollow. A tiny sun hangs in the center of the hollow, and vast polar openings permit travel between the inner and outer worlds. The interior landscape is called the 'Hollow World', a place of acient mystery.</desc>
     <desc>The polar openings leading into the Hollow World are so huge that their cruvature is very, very gradual. That, combined with the fact that these regions are perpetually shrouded in fog, means that people can travelfrom the outer world to the inner (or vice-versa) without being aware of it.</desc>
     <desc>The interior sun sheds daylight at all times in the Hollow World; night never falls, and creatures susceptible to sunlight (such as vampires)  are rare indeed.</desc>
     <desc>The interior world has long been hidden from the outer world- the few outer-world explores who have found it have either died there, stayed there willingly, or returned without publicizing their discovery. To this day, the existence of the Hollow World is not generally known in the outer world.</desc>

     <desc>The game is primarily role-playing, but is supported by advanced space, combat, skills, and economic systems.  A full commodities market economy is available for those that wish to strike out on their own as freelance traders, merchants, pirates, mercenaries, and spies.</desc>
     <desc>HoloTrek welcomes both experienced and new roleplayers to the game.  Good roleplay is rewarded; players who develop good roleplaying skills will find their characters growing in power and influence.</desc>

     <desc>It is a time of unrest for the galaxy. The Galactic Civil War has ended, but the strain that it caused still weighs heavy. War may be over but the fighting continues - at times just as fierce and deadly as during the height of the Rebel insurrection.  The fledgling New Republic is making small steps at restoring some order to the vast regions decimated by conflict. Bringing together countless unique species and civilizations, under the flag of peace and harmony rather than conquest and submission is a task harder than anyone would have believed.  The Empire is a remnant of its once glorious military. Forced to surrender great amounts of territory to better protect itself, but they have not surrendered their dedication to the ideal crafted out of the evils of Palpatine.  Independents have a greater vision of the galaxy now. Smuggling remains a strong source of income and many believe that it will expand even more now. Pirates operate in the relative open. With both the New Republic and Empire strained beyond compare, pirates are capable of picking and choosing their targets with little fear of governmental retaliation. The Civil War may have ended. But the galaxy has yet to see a time of peace. Conflict is all anyone knows, and they will not see it erased so easily.  The possibilities are endless. This is a time for all to make a difference from the smallest of characters, to the leaders of vast governments. Everyone has a place - and each place is unique in its necessity.</desc>

     <desc>Iconoclast MUD has been in continuous operation since 1996, making us one of the longest-running Cyberpunk/Gothic-themed MUDS on the Internet. We've long been one of the top Sci-Fi RP MUDS listed on the search engines, and a significant portion of our players have been with us since the beginning for that very reason.</desc>
     <desc>Iconoclast is set at the dawn of the 22nd Century, and is based around the people and events associated with the free city of New Aurora. Genetic alteration, cybernetic enhancements, neural interfaces, excessive violence, corporate control, rampant gang and cult activity and a worldwide Matrix are accepted as the norm. The 6000+ room Iconoclast world itself is 100% original, and designed to be realistic without being detrimental to play. The focus is on quality, not quantity.</desc>
     <desc>Our customized code (a Circle 3.0 derivative) encourages role- playing while allowing a more traditional hack-and-slash style of play for those who enjoy that. Combat works differently than on other MUDS; there are no levels or experience points as such, but there is plenty of room for self-directed advancement to high levels of power and influence.</desc>

     <desc>Puzzlebox is a science fiction/transhuman/\"postfurry\" MUCK set in a dreamlike city on a cryptically hyperintelligent megastructure. Most characters are furries with futuristic trappings, but all sorts of strange cosmic beasties abound. Food, shelter, and even healthcare are available at the blink of an eye, so there's nothing left to fight over except for ideas -- and no way to fight over them except for art and seduction.</desc>
     <desc>Puzzlebox is different from many other MU*'s in that it takes place in a richly developed original world, but it's still fairly freeform and loosely regulated. While we hope you'll find our players to be fun and friendly, we also pride ourselves on investing serious thought and, more importantly, emotion into our virtual lives. At its best, Puzzlebox is also a social experiment, a work of collaborative art, a philosophical conundrum, a laboratory for identity play, and sometimes a bit of group therapy. :)</desc>

It is well known that Merlin is used to travel through time, but what is unknown of the crowd is that Merlin did setup a magic cave acting like a portal leading to various worlds and epochs... There is one thing in common to the worlds that this cave allows to reach: in these worlds, death is usually not a permanent status and most of the ones who perish by accident do resurrect after a while. It is actually a good thing, because the said worlds are small and closed, very few of their inhabitants being able to escape them... and food is rare, leading to a merciless competition for survival where the predators try to feed on the preys...</desc>
     <desc>Voregotten Realm is a vore-themed, free-form, role-playing MUCK, but it also offers a BDSM-biased area and another area designed especially for macrophiles and microphiles.

Imagine a city filled with people who have nothing to lose, most of whom would murder you given the chance. Now imagine that they're starving, irradiated, and angry. Add to that hideous, unthinkable abominations that are the product of irresponsible genetics research and generations of radiation poisoning and pollution. Now imagine that multinational corporations are the only organizations cuthroat enough to have come out of the collapse of civilization with any real collective power, and that there are now no restrictions on them using that power however they like. There are so many ways to die here, and thanks to the corp's technology, you can keep coming back and experience each and every one of them. Not even suicide can get you out of hell.</desc>

     <desc>Once a land ruled by dragons, giants, and powerful immortals, one millennium later the power of magic has been replaced by technology and a powerful corporation pulls political strings from behind the scenes.  A terrible industrial accident creates a time rift joining the two eras of the world of Jhoira together.  Now the ways of magic are returning to the land of the future and time travelers attempt to alter the past with seemingly no affect. However, no one knows for sure since all records of the centuries between have disappeared.</desc>
     <desc>Scourge of Time is mainly a hack and slash mud with optional arena killing and roleplaying.  There are 401 mortal levels, separated into 4 tiers.  Once at 401 players are able to obtain superhero levels.  Once you have 3 remorts you can gain Legend levels which make your character even more powerful. Along the way players mayenter challenges (rebirth/reawakening/ renewal) where theycan gain new spells and skills for their class or (with an etl penalty) gain groups more suited for other classes.</desc>
     <desc>Also: - Casino where you can win questpoints and gold - get precious gems by digging or randomly from certain mobs, use these to improve equipment - lockers - imm run clans - mortal run tribes - if you can't stop questing, you can spend your qp to forge equipment to improve it even further. New: - Group2 skills improved, some 2nd tier mobs made easier - chance to get \"hours up\" spell when you complete quest - removed pkill, added arena areas for those that want PvP.</desc>

     <desc>Over the past 3000 years, the mystified sites of the world had made its way into vanishing from the earth. Slowly, each mark of their existence became nothing but clouded dust. Their ancient civilizations are now nothing but a myriad of fiction. The disappearance of their world as we all know no longer is remembered by most and with knowing this, some fear that whatever hurdle and struggles that they went through over history, we are more susceptible as a human race to repeat it. Some feel that tales and evidence of the ancient civilizations were just made up from hearsay; but then there are some that do not believe that they were even human in the first place.</desc>
     <desc>As time progressed in this century, there has been tales of a stone that is capable of giving the holder the key to the ancient civilizations. Powers of its deepest and strongest of magick is contained within the stone. Most have thought that this powerful stone has been created by the ancients, to allow them to jump across worlds of their reality into ours. Somehow, as legend was told, it did not happen this way, but in fact the land that they arrive from was a utopia for those who felt that they did not belong to fellow Earth. It was an escape among escapes. Lives could start over, races could change, and you could always visit Earth (Common), but would you miss it? The ability to have that second try at life was and IS very well possible in the world of Belleza.</desc>

     <desc>The Earth year is 2748, and humanity has taken its first tentative steps into deep space. After centuries of research and a millenium of thoughts and dreams, the secrets of faster-than-light space travel have been granted to humanity by a mysterious, powerful alien species, and, after years of preparation, humanity has at last left its own solar system, colonising the distant world of Epsilon Indi III.</desc>
     <desc>However, right now humanity is a very, very small fish in the biggest of ponds. Not only is the new colony, christened Persephone, mankind's first departure from its solar system, but it is also humanity's new centre of alien trade and diplomacy. It is meant to be a shining beacon of mankind's power and progress. The reality, however, is quite different, and the two hundred thousand citizens of Persephone must realise that they are merely pieces on quite a large chess board.</desc>
     <desc>From the Cradle is an originally-themed science fiction MUSH set as the human race takes the biggest step in its long history. It is a political game, with ambassadors, diplomats, and bureaucrats jockeying for power and prestige. It is a military game, with the officers of a virginal and hastily-arranged space force trying to look the great powers of the galaxy in the eye. It is a home for farmers, merchants, traders, labourers, tourists, and wanderers gathering on humanity's first new frontier in centuries.</desc>
     <desc>A character-driven roleplaying game, From the Cradle welcomes all of those who wish to dive into a character on humanity’s final frontier. From the Cradle uses a FUDGE-based stats system, and those familiar with FUDGE can have a character ready in about fifteen minutes.</desc>

     <desc>DBE is one of the longest running DBZ MUDs online that continues to expand everyday. This MUD takes a mixture of roleplaying and PK to create an unique Dragonball experience. Each of the races will give you a different style of gameplay while RPing and PKing. Even though DBE is based on Dragonball, that does not mean other themes or influences won’t exist in the MUD. As the name of the MUD says, DBE is an evolution of the DBZ theme. If you’re looking for a different view on the anime, then you should give DBE a try.</desc>
     <desc>DBE Includes:</desc>
     <desc>* 17 races that make up 4 different race types(Attack, Defense, Healer and All-Around) * 100 skills split between all the races * Skills that upgrade through transformations * 14,000 rooms * 7 planets, Majinia, Outer Space, Afterlife/Heaven and Hell * 80+ quests to set out on * over 4,000 items can be bought, found or created * 7 clans * Weekly events and Double Experience weekends * 24/7 PK Dragonball Hunt * Zones and Bosses that require groups with tanks and healers * PK Wars and RP events held often * Food and water are actually useful by restoring pl, ki and fatigue * Bloodlust which is full PK mode that offers multiple buffs * Houses, custom items and pets can be earned * Optional Newbie Academy with rewards when completed * Multiple types of scouters and radars that show different information * Powerlevel gains kept within range of the Frieza Saga * Level based system with virtually no cap * Dedicated staff, most have been with DBE for years * Freedom of Speech if not being malicious * Newbie friendly environment(ask for Ozma if any help is needed) * Stable server and no intentions of shutting down, DBE is here to stay</desc>

     <desc>**LOOKING FOR CODERS/STORYTELLERS!!!!**</desc>
     <desc>Welcome to By Right of Blood: San Francisco By Night! A game based off the Old World of Darkness Series. By day, San Francisco is as we all know and love her. Bustling, scenic, tranquil metropolis by the Bay, from the tight streets of Oakland to the shining San Francisco Bay, birds chirp in their trees, children file off to school, business men watch their fortunes rise and fall with the tides. Then the sun sets. A howl pierces the night, and the time is come for all good children to be in bed. This is their time. This is the Devil's time. Everything you think you know, every story you have ever heard about witches, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and wizards. They are all true. They are all real; they are all out to get you. Brave, eternally vigilant Hunters stand against the ever-deepening tide, their vengeful blades poised to strike back against the forces of darkness, but every night the battle takes its toll. Every night fewer eyes watch over the innocent lambs of sleeping Humanity, every night the Enemy multiply. For some it is a call to arms; pleas to fight ever harder as the odds become that much steeper, that much more impossible. Laughing at their plight, the Vampires of the Sabbat stand in bloodstained victory. The Camarilla is broken. Their homes destroyed, their Elysium kept mobile in order to keep the truth of their weakened numbers a precious secret. The Sabbat, the Glorious Sword of Caine, revel in these war-scorched nights. It is a time like unto the Old Days, with the strongest ruling like gods amongst men and even the weakest having mortals to push around. Even Vampires have to look over their shoulders sometimes. Waiting in the darkest places where even Caine's Chosen dare not look, a new threat awaits. More secretive even than the Mages, to whom everyone could be an enemy, their last sanctuary destroyed, and any mortal is a walking landmine of danger, there exists an enemy none dare cross directly. Its name unknown, its origins only hinted at, a force is gathering that awaits only the appropriate time to unleash Hell itself. Whispers in the quiet reaches of Vampire and Mage society, hints that a true Demon, and who can stand against a creature that has carried the Words of God in its now wretched hands. Moreover, in the crossfire, alone against the sweeping winds of evil, are the innocent, the \"normal,\" those people who lack the sense, the fear, the will to simply, hide in their homes when the sun goes down. Every war has its bystanders, every war zone its casualties, every story its heroes. The Children of Seth, mortal men and women, go about their everyday business well into the night, unaware or unafraid of the horrors lurking about them. Werewolves? Mere myth? Wizards? Long since dead. Vampires? Cute, harmless, emasculated shadows of their former selves for twelve-year-old girls to squeal over, but who will preserve them when the harsh fire of reality burns away their illusions? Come, oh traveler, and join us. Here at By Right of Blood, we always welcome new blood into the fold. Staff and Player alike, we greet you with open arms. Anything we might do to make your stay with us as pleasant as your character's is brutal. We work together to create the world you want, the RP you long for, the stories that will keep you coming back night after night. Our spheres are currently expanding, and we are currently accepting Vampire: The Masquerade, Mage: The Ascension, Hunter: The Reckoning, as well as Mortal and Mortal+ classes. We are currently not accepting Werewolf, and accepting Demon applications on a strictly limited basis.</desc>
     <desc>We are also looking for Storytellers and reliable coders who are familiar with Tiny and able to have reliable on-game time.</desc>

     <desc>Underworld, Evolutions. This game is the culmination of a few dedicated, very experienced mudders who have a special affinity for Vampires and Lycans. Underworld is based on the rom codebase with major modifications to optimize the players experience in the game world.</desc>
     <desc>At the moment of this submission, we are very new area wise, in fact, we dont even have any original areas! :) We have just finished up with the basic coding aspect, though we are always looking for experienced coders - Now we will begin building the world.</desc>
     <desc>Underworld Evolutions will be set in a modern world - something that has never been done successfully on a rom codebase, but that is about to change. All player testers are welcomed, RP is already in swing. If your intrested in building, drop on in and contact one of the Immortals, they will be happy to hear you.</desc>
     <desc>So, drop on in and give us a try. We'll do our best not to disapoint you, but be forewarned - we are an infant mud. I cannot stress this fact enough. We tend to take things slowly to make sure perfection is achieved, rather then a hastily thrown together codebase. So come and roleplay, and offer your ideas. Hope to see you there.</desc>

     <desc>New York is not your average city. It is a world where the strange is commonplace, magic is mundane and wonders sometimes slip beneath notice. It is a city brimming with heroes, villains and everything in between. Some of these people have their eyes set on global salvation (or conquest), playing roles in galactic diplomacy or challenging otherworldly horrors. But there is another layer to the superhuman community, the ones who call New York their home, their territory or their turf. The ones who do not play a role in the galactic happenings, the world events or even the national news. These are the Heroes of New York. Whether these are heroes to the citizens of the Big Apple, or heroes of their own selfish goals is up to them.</desc>
     <desc>And here on the streets of the city, there are goals a-plenty. The students of the Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters only want to explore and enjoy the city, while the dangerous Friends of Humanity want to end the genetic anomoly that is mutantkind. The Morlocks want only to survive and the Brotherhood of Mutants wants to dominate the city. Members of AIM want their own piece of the world, while the Heroes for Hire want a slice of the pie.</desc>
     <desc>The world fears what's different, and that often amounts to mutantkind. Most people feel that these are non-humans, a species to be watched, feared and controlled to the best of their abilities. The political climate is unfriendly for these mutants, but smiles on heroes that are (or were once) their own: Supersoldiers and those who received their powers from an accident are sometimes untouched by public scrutiny while still others can't help but always be in the spotlight in the worst way possible. What is to come of this city, from this tension and uneasiness?</desc>
     <desc>This is Marvel: Heroes of New York. This is a game based on the street level Marvel Comics characters, before the happenings of House of M, and not necessarily following in the canon's footsteps. Here, it is you who helps write the story.</desc>

     <desc>The Sea of Storms is a Wheel of Time MUD based on very heavily modified SMAUG and is primarily focused on role play.  The code is designed to emulate the world created by Robert Jordan in exquisite detail and provide the basis for an in depth role playing environment.</desc>
     <desc>We are also one of the only true leveless WoT MUDs out there. Advancement is based upon use and observation of skills, weaves, flows, and weapon forms.</desc>
     <desc>Perhaps the biggest bonus, however, is that our timeline is independant from that of the books.  This allows the players at The Sea of Storms to truly be in control of their own environment, and not be subject to the same tired plotline where everyone knows what's going to happen.</desc>
     <desc>Get involved in political intrigue in Cairhien, rise through the ranks of the Aes Sedai, fight alongside the Borderguard, or even just run your own shop.  The possibilities are endless.</desc>
     <desc>Just some of our innovative code features include a totally unique channeling system; an all-original combat system with weapon forms for six different weapons totalling almost 300 forms; there's also multi-guilding, color customization, and weapon and armor forging to match our custom layering system. Other features to be found include a dreamworld, wolfkin, angreal, ter'angreal, and pets/mounts that will save right along with you.</desc>

     <desc>Welcome to Marvel Unlimited MUX! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to recreate, or rather, reinvent the classic characters you've come to know so intimately over the years? Here, you can do exactly that. While the year is 2001, the newest era of Super Heroes has just begun, Mutant hysteria is on it's upswing, teenagers across the country are spawning powers heretofore unknown. And the populace has just begun to feel the effects of Super villains, and the chagrin of their newfound place at the bottom rung on the evolutionary ladder.</desc>
     <desc>The basis of our theme is that which exists in the Ultimate series as published by Marvel comics, and our system, is not at all dissimilar from most consent based MU*s. Set in the present, characters that would be termed as FCs (Feature Characters), are rewound to their origin point, and that origin, placed into a current day context. This allows for all characters in Marvel comics to be translated here, albeit a bit different then you may suspect. Thor, Iron Man, Magneto, all of whom should make an appearance here, should be recognizable to their canon counterparts, but certain liberties can be taken.</desc>

We have set a world world where your action becomes part of a great plan evolving while you're still there breathing. Aarit will allow you interpret a role without having to following stiffly rules that would limit your imagination and letting you manage the opportunity to create different styles of playing without having to start from scratch if you think you made a mistake to include the initial characteristics. Become a part of a world where peace and quiet now rampant in any place where all sorts of discomfort and hostility is handled with attention from several existing breeds. Rediscover old rivals over the centuries are remembered only through the history books and tales handed down orally, seem to have returned to resume their place on top of the evolutionary chain. Explore the remote forested regions of Karpuram where something dark and evil is gaining strength for the attack and return to be talked about herself. In a region trumpeted for its neutrality and its disinterest to World events, the malaise of a people away and defeated will come to be felt all his anger. Meet Kurooth the centaur, current ruler of Myrmidons Clan and commander in charge of the humanoid races that exist on Aarit who apparently has just opened a general meeting to discuss about some items come from remote corners of the kingdom. Fight against what it considers unfair and defend your rights and those the people you knew during your journey, forming groups and clans to dominate or simply enjoy the best in the World you were born. Play your role at best trying to impersonate the choosed character or take a break in the tavern enjoyng yourself with the other adventurers, remembering that even the simple talking can make your gaming experience unique and unrepeatable.</desc>

     <desc>Galactic Trader is a multiplayer space trading game loosely based on the PC game 'Elite'. It's reminiscent of old BBS door games, but is coded for OpenVMS based Alpha and VAX systems. In the original, players would make money buying and selling goods (some illegal) and evading cops and hostile aliens in the hopes of racking up enough credits to buy a better vessel or weapons. Successful players achieve fame on the high score list. In Gamingmuseum.com's enhanced version, players can now join the Imperial Navy or Galactic Police, or even become a member of the hostile Thargoid race. There are many new ships and new equipment, such as tractor beams and fusion torpedoes. Players can build their own bases and outposts. Capital ships can carry fighter squadrons, and mount multiple laser cannons.</desc>

     <desc>Shoujo-Ai MUSH, running PennMUSH, is centered around the theme of an all female, lesbian world. It is set on a small, isolated island named Yuriba that is located in the Devil's Triangle ( similar to the Bermuda Triangle) some distance off the coast of Japan. The environment is built on a simple reality: \"All life is female.\"</desc>
     <desc>Shoujo-Ai MUSH is largely social RP oriented but welcomes purely social players as well. The MUSH is based on the anime subgenre 'shoujo-ai', or 'love between girls'. While the in character world has it's own culture and history, much of the overall flavor remains anime and manga influenced. The environment is designed to allow a primary focus on social and relationship RP, rather than combat.</desc>

Yet, something gnaws at you, tickling at the back of your mind to tell you all is not as it seems.  You don't remember what happened to leave you on the outskirts of New York City, without anything but the clothes on your back, whatever is in your pockets or carried with you. Did you hit your head? Was there some sort of skirmish or fighting you don't remember taking part in that left you here? Clearly you weren't robbed, so just what in the heck happened?  There's a train station nearby, and you have the means to buy a ticket into the city or to Westchester. You board thetrain, seeing all the same familiar things you normally notice about the area, as you head home. You maybe even start to see some familiar faces, people you notice every day but perhaps don't actually know.  Then there are the people you do know. Friends, comrades, enemies, even lovers, who may or may not know you. At least, not the you that you are, the you that you remember being. They may have a whole different recollection of you, or none at all. What has happened to you, to those you love and hate?  The Rift has chosen you. Whether it will choose the friends and foes you know or not, remains to be seen.  Welcome to Marvel Universe : The Rift!   The premise here is, pick a character you love, and pick and choose their history! You can use the Movies, Comics, or even the Cartoons! All we ask is that you stay true to the core of the character, for whichever history/ies you choose! You can mix and match!  The Rift has created a place much like the regular Earth most characters know, and whether it's a god seeking some sort of perfection, or a god that's like a kid with an ant farm, one thing remains the same: The Rift only chooses one of each incarnation. One Wolverine, one Ironman, one Spiderman, and so on.  (Original Characters are welcome too!) Are you brave enough to risk falling through the Rift?</desc>

While locations of civilization have been reduced from those in the 20th century, this has allowed the remainder of the planet to go back to its natural environments and climates. Technology has advanced, a grand academy arisen to teach those the threads of magical studies, and people live for centuries rather than decades. All was peaceful, until the wisps of Chaos were reborn and darkness started to extend its shadowy clutches toward this utopian society. Will warriors of the light step up to the darkness that looms forth?</desc>

     <desc>...with carnage...</desc>
     <desc>The royal family slaughtered, a young man steps in to fill the void, setting a blood-soaked crown on his head. King Osric turns the city in new directions while rumors of the Night of Blood are killed with the same ruthless efficiency that broke the royal line, and those who dare to speak out are soon meat for the crows...</desc>
     <desc>Sixteen years later...</desc>
     <desc>King Osric holds the kingdom, controlling it through force and fear; his Guilds hold commerce in a stranglehold. Fiends prowl outside the walls, and, some whisper, within them as well. Evil rules the streets, and few are those, brave, foolish, or desperate, who dare to walk alone after dark.</desc>
     <desc>The gods remember...</desc>
     <desc>And the ways of peace and freedom forgotten by some live on in the hearts and minds of heroes determined to see Glynrhos restored to her former glory. Fighting both directly and in more subtle ways, they are not without hope or resources.</desc>
     <desc>But they cannot win this war alone. They need allies ....</desc>

     <desc>'Legend of the Nobles, or LotN, is the mud I call home. With dedicated administration and an incredible coder, LotN runs quite smoothly...</desc>
     <desc>As well as original races, there are many interesting classes to choose from. Be the mighty fighter, or the sly rogue. Be the Paladin, and fight for your religion. Be a Conjurer, and dabble in demon summoning and work with the undead. Be a bard, and play your melodies to influence and inspire others. Be a shape-shifting druid, attuned to nature. Be a mage with the power to enchant armor and weapons. Or be a priest, where you don't fight and you gain experience through healing others and drawing powerful glyphs.</desc>
     <desc>This mud has a pleasant balance between roleplaying and player killing ... With the guild, religion, and noble systems, there is plenty of opportunity for intrigue.</desc>
     <desc>One of the most notable changes this version is the inclusion of permdeath ... will ensure a more realistic atmosphere. Those who do not play permdeath cannot achieve the highest ranks.</desc>
     <desc>I recommend anyone who reads to this to join us. All of our long- time players are always willing to help a new face in any way we can. And right now, with the new version, everyone will start off on even footing, level-wise. So please, come join us.'</desc>

We at Dark Towers feel that the whole point of a mud is for your enjoyment. We sincerely believe that players are the most important aspect of the mud. They provide much needed feedback and liveliness to the mud that without them wouldn't be there. We at Dark Towers are also extremely open to any suggestions you might have to help make it a better place.  The theme of Dark Towers is based mostly on fantasy, but we try to make a little bit of what everyone wants. If there is something that you feel is missing, let us know and we'll do our best to add it.</desc>

The last vestiges of the imperial wars, with Ryadel's failed attempt, and the concurrent fall of Thalos left the great powers scattered and bathed the lands yet tamed once again into shadow. At this crucial juncture did the Herald of Walutzu appear to Incubus, proclaiming the new order, and the city of Korflu rose in its course, forever scarred, but blessed with great resources. From this city rise the great adventurers, the legend-makers of Keilar. Born of a kindred spirit, they journey out and tame the wild places, and what was once forgotten has been rediscovered. These, my friends, these are the heroes of the Forbidden Lands!</desc>

     <desc>Lochness is one of the older muds, but what it lacks in modernization, it makes up for in atmosphere!  Both players and wizards are generally friendly and helpful, especially to newbies.  Geographically, the mud is divided into a multitude of domains, each with a different theme and a different team of wizards working on areas.  There are six distinctive guilds to choose from, and plenty of quests to challenge players.  It is not, and has never been, Lochness' policy to instawiz players, but once a player reaches a certain level, he is presented with the option of either wizzing, or playing the higher levels.  Obscenity on public communication channels is frowned upon, although players may say what they like to each other in private :)  As for the number of people who play Lochness, it is certainly a small mud in that regard, but we look at it as having a 'small town' ambience in which everybody knows everybody else.</desc>

     <desc>Those in power are so rarely accepting of that which they don’t understand. Distrust of genetically gifted individuals, dubbed \"mutants\" increases day-by-day, fueled by anti-mutant propaganda, spread by xenophobic communities all across the USA. Even Westchester and the decade old \"Xavier Institute for Higher Learning\" are not safe from rumors, yet the Institute has managed to stay below the radar. Of course, \"for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction\".</desc>
     <desc>The Brotherhood, led by Magneto, has risen to almost dangerous ranks as they openly fight humanity to take their place above them on the evolutionary ladder. Emma Frost, teaching young mutants at her Massachusetts Academy how to utilize their powers to gain their appropriate place as the new \"Elite\", leads a group known as the Hellions, comprised of her own students. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, that every present and proverbial silver lining. An \"underground\" team of Mutants has emerged, called \"The X-Men\" who openly fight Magneto and his team of Brotherhood. The government run association, S.H.I.E.L.D., maintains control over the more extreme vigilante groups, keeping a close watch on the more dangerous aspects of the world that regular humans are so often blithely ignorant of.</desc>
     <desc>Though some would make the world villainous, those who fight for peace and a peaceful co-existence are ready to rise to the challenge, promoting themselves as those who will stand apart, and stand above.</desc>

     <desc>In the beginning there was darkness...</desc>
     <desc>And then, with a booming clap of Thunder, a majestic city was born. The city, named Prophecy by oracles from a distant land because of the vision they witnessed upon its creation, would grow to be the crown jewel of the region. But in its youth, Prophecy was ruled by Chaos, Lust, and Fury. The inhabitants of Prophecy were as varied as the stars in the night sky. Men and women from every race, creed, and class, flocked to the city in an attempt to fulfill the Prophecy. The Prophecy states that one day, a mortal would arrive within the gates of the city and after drawing incredible power from the land, ascent to godlike status. The Prophecy states that the mortal, in their new infinite wisdom, would rule along side the deities of the land and prosperity would reign over the realm. But then darkness would consume the mortal and they would rage a bloody war against the pantheon of the realm. The Prophecy states that only after a long and bloody war would the chosen one rise above the deities ruling the land and thus fulfill the Prophecy. Some choose the path of the murderer, hunting others and consuming their life essence. Others decided to gain their glory through hunting and slaying the many creatures that inhabit the furthest corners of Prophecy. Over the years, much blood has been spilled as thousands of worthy adventurers have inhabited Prophecy attempting to seize the power that lies beneath her surface. Some historians claim the oracles were mistaken and that the Prophecy is merely a hoax designed to fill the city of Prophecy. But, my friends, I was there when they fled from the city in madness because the power had eluded them. I, myself, could taste the power on many occasions. But time has taken its toll on me and I must abandon my quest to fulfill the Prophecy. Do you have what it takes to fulfill the Prophecy? Are you the chosen one? There is only one way to find out.</desc>

Surrounded by the towering Sandia mountain range to the east, the Manzano mountains to the southeast, and a high volcanic mesa to the west, Albuquerque sits astride the nurturing Rio Grande River. Dizzying views unfold over sweeping vistas across a truly magical landscape, filled with a myriad natural wonders. If New Mexico is truly the 'Land of Enchantment,' then Albuquerque must be its gateway.</desc>
     <desc>Although many things seem to be the same on the surface, our virtual Albuquerque is a far cry from the reality of this happy Southwestern town. The town has been transformed from its real world countenance into a mass of decay, danger and death. This is a world where evil and danger abound, where tension is stronger, cops more corrupt, the criminal element even more firmly in control. And that's even before the Supernaturals start pulling strings... If you're not afraid of the Dark, come check us out!</desc>

     <desc>In the Year 726, Old Valendian:  The Larsan Folly is the most generous name given to the time of strife that befell the world after the coming of the great Mist. It is a dark time of lost history, where fiends sprung whole from the Mist and tore apart cities, men tore apart nations, and civilization's fire almost burnt out in the dark night of barbaracy.</desc>
     <desc>What is known is scattered and fragmented, and diligent scholarship has only uncovered the facts of the events, but few of the motivations. What is known is that Emperor Larsa of Archadia, citing the evils of manufacted nethicite and the terrible effects it took upon the armies and people of Dalmasca, undertook to destroy the sources of these tainted artifacts once and for all.  It is known that Emperor Larsa and the Queen Ashe went together to the Ridoran Cataract, and the Pharos there. The events of the day are not fully known or understood; and the ruins of the Pharos remain so mist-infested that no ship, air or sea, has dared within ten miles of the island since that day.  Mist poured from the Pharos; so thick it blotted out the sun, until the sky seemed to run riot with the terrible colors. A madness swept the vieran race; a rage so terrible, it is told of only in bloody, hushed whispers. Those few Viera remaining, old enough to have been alive upon that terrible time, bear scars, and few can or will speak of the horrors endured or, often, perpetuated, by them.</desc>
     <desc>Men and women died in the streets; torn apart by Fiends, choking on Mist so thick that every breath became a wild magic. Houses, cities, crumbled, rotted, burned. Within a month, no nation known to the world remained in existence; the centers of power disrupted, destroyed, undone by the mad Mist that swept the world. Races never before known sprung from the Mist, as confused and terrified as any other, having been born into a world gone mad.  How long, precisely, the terrible Mist raged, is not entirely known. The shortest credible estimate is three months; the longest, eight years. The Mist Madness that many endured made most diaries useless; ravings of madmen, moments of lucidity, terrible despair.</desc>
     <desc>Two hundred years have passed since the Larsan Folly, and the city of Emberstrand has risen up near the ashes of Rabanastre. This is where our story begins.</desc>

     <desc>END-OF-LINE is based on the film TRON. But it begins where the film ends. The Blue programs have just managed to break the MCP's strangle hold, but there are still pockets of Red programs resisting. The MUD is based on the war between these two sides. You can choose which side to join, and what role to play in each army.-----There are two main roles: generals and troops. The generals manage troops and resources, transport them between areas, and decide which areas should be attacked. The troops fight individual battles. There are NPC generals and troops on both sides, as well as interactive generals and troops.  These players can join and leave at their leisure.-----The distinguishing thing about the MUD is that it involves 3 levels of play, which interact: (LEVEL 1) is involves playing a general managing resources in a war. This is very strategic and is like Chess but more closesly like X-battle. (LEVEL 2) involves commanding troops in a battle. This is like a game of Command and Conquer, you can see a map with the troops and position them. (LEVEL 3) involves close range fighting. This is the level which players familiar to Player Killing will recognise. It is likeplaying a shoot-em up like DOOM.</desc>

A cool breeze blows and you feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand at attention.  Something is awry, yet you just cannot put your finger on it.  As the bell tolls, you notice a pair of sharp, gleaming eyes and a flash of what look like razor sharp claws in the brush.  As you draw your sword, you are knocked off balance from behind.  When you arise, you are facing what could only be one of Hell's creations. You turn to run, but you are faced with another foe; the true Champion of Gaia.  All around you are gathered strange creatures; all of which hunger for your head.  They sense your FEAR.</desc>

Be warned, FearMUD is not a '10 minute and you're maxed' MUD.  Within hours of beginning, one may join the PK and not just watch it.  Just remember, the more you put into your character here, the more you get out of it.</desc>

     <desc>Miami by Night, up since January of 1997, is a World of Darkness(tm) MUSH set in Miami, Florida, in the first decade of the 21st Century. We support the following second edition systems: Vampire: The Masquerade(tm), Mage: The Ascension(tm), and Werewolf: The Apocalypse(tm).</desc>
     <desc>Our Staff prides itself on its fairness, and players can be assured that the rules are enforced equally. Each player is just as important as every other player and staff will not step in to retcon or rewrite scenes to benefit any particular player's 'story' over another's. If you like a game where scenes are not prescripted and you will not be prevented from action as long as you have IC justification, then Miami may be the place for you.</desc>
     <desc>There are no quotas for Supers (vampires, shifters, mages, etc.) on Miami by Night in order to give players the chance to play the type of character they want, although each player is restricted to one Super. Mortal character creation uses Mortal Peer stats, meaning a starting stats mortal has the same starting attributes and abilities as a neonate vampire. Transfer characters from other MUSHes in the same general timeline are accepted, provided we can verify stats. More information on character creation and transfer can be found on our web site or by logging into Miami by Night.</desc>

     <desc>Chaos Empire is a new MUD. As such there is space for advancement. There are several mortal classes, and when a player has exhausted a career path, they have the opportunity to become one of four remortal classes, and learn more powerful skills and spells. There are currently seven clans on Chaos Empire. They each have their own clanhouse, equipped with a store room and a board. Each clan also has its own special abilities, which are generally very powerful (some are spells, and some are character bonuses).</desc>
     <desc>Newbie Helpers are there to help new players, new mudders and experienced players alike which are just starting out, if no Newbie Helper is on an Immortal will be happy to help you get started.</desc>
     <desc>The main city is custom to Chaos Empire, and should provide a refreshing  change to other MUDs. We aren't a large MUD, so there won't be hundreds of people on at any time, but the people on are, in general, friendly and will help you if you ask nicely :-)</desc>

And love keeps her in the air when she oughtta fall down...tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keens... makes her a home.\"</desc>
     <desc>The beginning came five hundred years ago as the Earth-That-Was resources began to dry up. Those that could leave, did. Those that remained, well, they didn't quite have a choice with what happened next. A new solar system was found, and terraforming offered the means to create new earths. As time grew on, so did the new era of humanity, and with that comes that of disputes. A war broke out between the Alliance and the Independents. He who wins the war, writes the history book, and well - the Alliance won. Times have changed, and humanity continues to develop. Technology inspires us to build greater things, and so we do. Each of us has a piece of this pie within the 'verse, whether small or great, we're all here to enjoy it until we can't breath any longer. The choice is that of the person's, whether they want to do something with that pie or simply sit on it.</desc>
     <desc>Gorram MUSH is based off the theme of the Firefly episodes &amp; Serenity movie. Set five hundred years in the future &amp; western mixture, its a big verse to explore out there. Roleplay is set as the priority with plenty of opportunities for someone to place their own niche in the 'verse. Code is in place to simply enable a person with their story, instead of inhibiting them. Opportunities are available to play a wide variety of different types of characters, everything from Companions to Shepherds to Pilots, and everything in between. Familiar worlds from the game are present to explore, make your home or even business on. Variety of ship types are available for a player to purchase, and there's a coded space system that allows for those that wish to explore the open black to do so.</desc>
     <desc>If you're looking for a good roleplaying environment, whether new to the theme or a dedicated 'browncoat', Gorram MUSH offers a home to those players that are looking for a place to simply come and RP.</desc>

     <desc>You would be able to choose among two races, Ningenteki (humans), or Konpaku (souls).  The classes for Ningenteki are Ningenteki (human with special powers), and Bauntou (soul devouring vampires).  The classes for Konpaku are Konpaku (spirits with a chain attached to their chest), Kaizou (modified souls), Hollow (evil spirits), and Shinigami (soul reapers).  Also, you would be able to pick a family name from the show upon creation (Kurosaki, Inoue, etc.) that would grant you special abilities.</desc>
     <desc>Use your powers as Shinigami with your own Zanpaktou and a wide range of spells to protect the world from Hollows, use your powers as a Ningenteki to aid the Shinigami in the defense of Kankuro Town and Soul Society, or just become a Hollow and spread chaos and terror, feed upon souls with strong reiatsu (spiritual pressure), and joining forces with Aizen to destroy both Kankuro Town and Soul Society to obtain the Key to the ultimate power!!!</desc>
     <desc>Right now we are in the pre-alpha development stage.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  We are hiring builders and coders. Any help (ideas, building, coding, etc.) would be rewarded with mission points, special gear and weapons.

Mysteries lie at the heart of the Ark. The Old Man built it for a purpose. What was it? Can the Ark be wrested from his control in time?</desc>
     <desc>Drawing inspiration from sources including the legend of the Flying Dutchman, the painting \"Castle in the Pyrenees\" by Rene Magritte, Star Trek, and Laputa: Castle in the Sky, our principal aim is to enjoy traditional D&amp;D (3.5) fun in a fantasy setting, with plenty of staff-run plots and dungeon-delving.

     <desc>Mirkwood stared in 1995 and is still going strong. Famous for its social atmosphere, its inspired areas, and its professional coding, Mirkwood is a dynamic and active MUD undergoing almost daily code modifications. Recently, the coders implemented an original remorting system and added six new classes. But the largest recent change was a complete remapping of the world that involved splitting the land into two continents and creating an extensive road system. Mirkwood's original and extremely powerful object, room, and mob scripts aid builders in creating immersive areas, many of which are based on the writings of Tolkien. However, Mirkwood's player and immortals are far too eclectic to stick to one theme. The battle-scarred moon Daktor, the red-neck Trailer Park, the magic-loathing city of Pelios, the vast and deadly Ocean, and scores of other areas all await the stalwart adventurer. Mirkwood's custom-designed area builder (Mac/Win) supports the continuous development of new areas. If you love the community of your fellows, join one of Mirkwood's eight tribes, which have huge castles and keeps; their own channels; custom time and weather messages; internal security; shops for armor, weapons, food, and tokens; recall rooms; healers, trainers, and guild masters; and access to a tribal arena.</desc>

At A Moment in Tyme, we have a dedicated playerbase and an excellent, committed staff of Immortals.  We have unique systems in place to rank players' mastery in swordplay and channeling (Wheel of Time's magic system).  A Moment in Tyme is set on a Timeline that is based on the first six books. After that, though, Tyme has broken away to become a mirror world of the books. The Bowl of the Winds has been found and used, breaking the long winter. Elayne has returned to Andor and taken the Throne. After a long struggle, Analinde su Riaten Rie now controls Cairhien with Rand al'Thor's, the Dragon Reborn, approval.  The White Tower has split, but after a Black Tower raid against the Aes Sedai, Elaida has been kidnapped and now awaits trial before the newly reunified Tower. Who will be Amyrlin now? Already several woman are seeking the title.</desc>
     <desc>And the Seanchan? Tarabon, Arad Doman, and Altara are all victims of the Ever Victorious Army. The High Lady Suroth invaded, and conquered Murandy, instead of reaching into Amadicia. Because of this, High Lady Ilorin Shayndel Paendrag, fourth in line for the Crystal Throne, has officially settled into the Panarch's Palace and taken control of the Hailene. Who will stop them? Word is that a mercenary group called the Heron Company is being raised to retake Arad Doman...  A Moment in Tyme is a RP-intensive MUD. We have an RPexp system which rewards RP by giving EXP based on emotes. Combat Code is currently offline, as it is being completely remodified and built from the ground up. It will utilize 50 different body parts as well as have very realistically coded forms with special procedures.</desc>

     <desc>Deep within the black obelisks thrusting upwards into the bitterly cold night a small fire burns in a rusted out garbage can, casting dim halos of orange light on the damp asphalt. Hands raised over the meager heat, a multitude of wretched forms shiver as tattered wet clothes cling to their bodies, leeching the strength from even the hardiest. Nearby, in a small park a tiny child looks out into the shadows, her vision blurred by tears, desperately searching for her mother. A flicker of movement catches her attention and she looks up to see the bushes at the edge of the clearing part. Her scream echoes through the open window of a luxurious basement apartment. There is no one to answer her cries for help. A crumpled body leans heavily against the desk, an expanding pool of blood staining the immaculate Armani suit and the letter clutched in a hand white as ash.

     <desc>Mordor's unequaled road system consists of an extremely accurate map based on Tolkien's map of Middle Earth.  Explore over 70 unique areas throughout Middle Earth including: Isengard, Edoras, Midgewater Marshes, Helms Deep, Fangorn, Shelob's Lair, Lothlorien, Rivendell, Lonely Mountain, Barad-dur, Dol Guldur, Durthang, Mount Doom, Bree, Westfarthing, everywhere the Fellowship ventured, and many more areas from Tolkien lore.  Mordor's unique multi-class system, along with its remort classes and extended race selection, allows you to completely customize your character. Role-play as good or evil and engage in player vs. player battles by joining an alliance such as the Eye of Sauron, the Hand of Saruman, the Haradrim, the Last Alliance, the Northern Rangers, or the White Council.  For riskier adventurers, Mordor also offers a few independent guilds where you may participate in player vs. player combat without the loyalties or protection of an alliance.  We also have an alliance dedicated to helping newbies - the Guardians of Mordor.  All alliances are ever evolving by expanding their halls and adding new equipment.  We have a full time Quest Master and often offer unique Immortal run quests.  The Immortal staff is constantly building and programming new features for Mordor, and the player base consists of many different characters.  Mordor, even after being around for over a decade, is still consistently modifying itself to ensure balance and excitement for all of the players.</desc>

     <desc>The Cleft of Dimensions continues to be probably the best MUD that currently exists.</desc>
     <desc>We have 16 character classes, and each one has its own playstyle. Do you want an army of goombas? Do you want spells like Meteo, Indignation, or Megamagic? Or do you just want to suplex a guy then hit him with a piledriver? There's a class for almost any playstyle.</desc>
     <desc>Do you have a favorite video game? Do you have a soft spot for an old SNES RPG? There's a good chance we have content based on it. The game world is an amalgam of areas from all sorts of sources. And I really do mean all sorts: Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World, Mega Man, Earthbound, Secret of Mana, Ocarina of Time, Tactics Ogre - even Harvest Moon and River City Ransom.</desc>
     <desc>But there's more to the Cleft than just references and nods to games. We have a world full of secrets to discover and treasures to claim. Quests involving tricky fights and trickier puzzles, not just \"i vant you to keel seex snow moose.\" Boss battles that could knock your socks off if you happen to be wearing socks. We have lots of content with lots of depth, and even if you consider most MUDs tedious, shallow grinds, I think you'll find satisfying gameplay here.  We're the only game in the world where you, an alien, and some oysters can team up to fight superpowered pokemon. There's no other MUD where'd I'd rather spend my time, and I'd recommend it to anyone.</desc>

     <desc>Mozart is one of the oldest, most developed muds on the net. Our world has over 28,000 rooms in 200 zones among three major areas. The Surface is the largest and most newbie-friendly. Beneath, the svirfneblin city Galtherdelve and the drow city of Aluhryn in the Underdark are more dangerous, and player-killing is legal.</desc>
     <desc>Mozart is rent-free. While in other muds it may cost you gold to keep your items, here we make our players want to play instead of punishing them for being away. Further, we use a percentage-based loading system instead of object limits, so it's impossible for a small number of players to hoard all the best equipment.</desc>
     <desc>All the major features of mud clients, including aliases, speed- walking, and command history, are provided by the game itself, so all our players - even those on telnet - are on an equal footing.</desc>
     <desc>Mortals may advance to level 99 in 14 different classes and more than 400 skills, spells, and specialties (which resemble feats in the D20 system). After 99th, there are 11 avatar levels each with a skill, spell, or power specific to each class.</desc>
     <desc>Mozart's code is very stable and very highly featured. We rarely go less than two weeks between reboots, and we recently broke our record with a four-month-long uptime. Crashes are quite rare, and new code is well-tested before it gets anywhere near our players.</desc>
     <desc>Immortals have access to full OLC including every feature we can think of, all the way up to LP-mud style scripting. If you have a new idea, we'll work to make it possible.</desc>

The action takes place in the late Third Age, before 'The Hobbit' and after the loss of the One Ring by Sauron. The key of Erebor was just found by Gandalf and all the epic tales narrated in 'The Lord of the Rings' may take place.  MUME covers 23'000+ original rooms from the mighty Dwarven Halls beyond the Gulf of Lh�n in the West to the fringes of Mirkwood in the East, and from the ruins of Fornost in the North to the fortress of Isengard in the South. In this meticulously crafted world where fantasy tales come to life players may join the War between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the West.  MUME VIII is written in C and in mudlle (a functional language that was developed in order to allow on-line extensions to the game).</desc>

     <desc>Realms of Chaos runs on its own machine and connection, and is incredibly well-balanced and fair.  Anti-cheating rules are actually enforced.  You can therefore be proud of your achievements on RoC, as people do not gain levels by exploiting bugs or imbalances.</desc>
     <desc>RoC is a challenging mud.  Those looking for a place they can become powerful overnight will be disappointed. However, it is the perfect mud for someone looking to earn their levels, and to be able to take pride in making it to High Mortal, because it is not something just anyone can do.</desc>
     <desc>When you check out RoC for yourself, you will see a well developed fantasy world that has room for humor and parody.  It is not just a mud; to those who know it, it is another dimension.</desc>

     <desc>New York is not your average city. It is a world where the strange is commonplace, magic is mundane and wonders sometimes slip beneath notice. It is a city brimming with heroes, villains and everything in between. Some of these people have their eyes set on global salvation (or conquest), playing roles in galactic diplomacy or challenging otherworldly horrors. But there is another layer to the superhuman community, the ones who call New York their home, their territory or their turf. The ones who do not play a role in the galactic happenings, the world events or even the national news. These are the Heroes of New York. Whether these are heroes to the citizens of the Big Apple, or heroes of their own selfish goals is up to them.</desc>
     <desc>And here on the streets of the city, there are goals a-plenty. The students of the Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters only want to explore and enjoy the city, while the dangerous Friends of Humanity want to end the genetic anomoly that is mutantkind. The Morlocks want only to survive and the Brotherhood of Mutants wants to dominate the city. Members of AIM want their own piece of the world, while the Heroes for Hire want a slice of the pie.</desc>
     <desc>The world fears what's different, and that often amounts to mutantkind. Most people feel that these are non-humans, a species to be watched, feared and controlled to the best of their abilities. The political climate is unfriendly for these mutants, but smiles on heroes that are (or were once) their own: Supersoldiers and those who received their powers from an accident are sometimes untouched by public scrutiny while still others can't help but always be in the spotlight in the worst way possible. What is to come of this city, from this tension and uneasiness?</desc>
     <desc>This is Marvel: Heroes of New York. This is a game based on the street level Marvel Comics characters, before the happenings of House of M, and not necessarily following in the canon's footsteps. Here, it is you who helps write the story.</desc>

The result of this being wizard creativity runing in all directions producing a diverse world where just about anything can happen from couples having babies to adventuring in bowl of jello occupied by strange critters.  Players can have as many characters as they like so long as they do not have interaction between them. (only one can be used at a time) PK is limited to those who wish it and in certain areas of the game. Along with risk free sparing options and other features that allow players to enjoy the thrill of a more lively opponent. That said, there are also NPC's that are almost alive, to where some players mistake them for other players.  Nirvana has had the 'honor' of having other muds try to copy it in whole or part, sometimes using less than honest means to do so. But there can be no true copy, don't accept an imitation when only the original will do.</desc>

BUILDING -- All players are given Builder-bits and homes in order to establish themselves in the world. EXPLORATION AND QUESTS -- The world of Hyrule is open for exploration, and soon we'll be able to include Termina as well.  Quests are given out to the daring, but the payout can be worth it for successful quests. CHATTING -- We have a public channel to chat with other denizens of the magical world.

The elves, thin and elegant, lovers of nature, the sea and great forests, masters of the ethereal magical arts. The dwarves, masters with stone and steel. Architects and sculptors, lovers of the high cold airy mountains. As each grew in strength, they met and clashed.</desc>

Knights/Vampire Hunters are in and ready for players. More changes are to come almost everyday to make the mud better, though the basic framework will stay intact.  We have become the most advance Vampire Wars mud and will stay the best.

     <desc>PhoenixMUD is even better in 2009!  One of the longest lasting MUDs around, it has very few traces of its stock circlemud origins from 1995.  Feel free to role play, explore, or just hack and slash.  The dedicated staff of immortals understands that games are meant to be fun.  They understand that games should be newbie- friendly at low levels yet still challenging at high levels.  And they understand the difference between \"challenging\" and \"tedious\". With these principles in mind, they have made PhoenixMUD better than ever.</desc>
     <desc>* Interactive real time combat. * 404 levels. * Realistic magic system with over a hundred spells. * 15 races and dozens of classes provide for hundreds of race/class combinations. * More intelligent zones, with built in quests and mobs that can surprise even experienced players. * PK battle zones and PK flags that players can purchase to attack only other flagged players of similar level. * Lots of NEW CODE in the last year, including: - Player-owned shops! - Newbie enhancements that gradually decrease as you level. Now new players don't have to worry about finding their way in the dark, struggling to find the perfect leveling equipment immediately, etc. - Automated hero tests for remorting.  Now with triple remorts! - An \"explored\" stat keeps track of what % of the world each player has yet to find. - And much more! *New for 2009:  A triple-zone dedicated to role playing, where emotes have real power and actions have lasting impact.  Tired of hacking and slashing through the other zones?  Get together with an imm and a fellow player or two for a D&amp;D style campaign, heavy on mystery.</desc>

     <desc>Hercules MUD was first created on and named after a SUN 3/60 named hercules at the campus of UC Irvine on July of 1992. The project was started using original dikumud code. The mud moved around a bit to include a long stint on mudservices (until their odd demise). HercMUD is now located in the basement of one of its imps. Hercules MUD is on code base V (5) now. We have gone through several code changes but still maintain our original goals to provide a unique, family-oriented, friendly, and safe place to relax and enjoy some company, whether playing or just hanging out.</desc>
     <desc>Hercules MUD is a skill and level based MUD. It is newbie-friendly with level-based equipment, some stock but many unique areas, to include a complete Newbie area for beginners.</desc>
     <desc>Hercules MUD is a heavily modified Circle code base which has OLC, DG Scripts, an online mud balancing feature that can adjust the mud without rebooting, an event system for skills, spells, and fighting, an auto-questing feature, a ferry system to get from continent to continent and many more unique challenges for the player.</desc>

     <desc>TUSP is my vision of a new, darker world. One where machinations and subtleties are allowed to blossom, and where roleplay is not merely a precursor to inevitable violence... though violence often finds itself as an element of a well rounded plan.</desc>
     <desc>TUSP is not fully operational, and will not be fully operational in the next several months. This is because before it becomes done, I need to finish recoding creation, destroy and recode the fighting system, remove the old magic system, modify the command system to do what I want it to, and recode all of the skills to actually use the proper abilities and stats. Also, I'm switching it from straight SMAUG over to FEAR, because I think FEAR is pretty nifty...</desc>
     <desc>When done, my goal is to make TUSP be the most accurate, automated WoD mud. If done properly, any of the (official) classes should be able to be added and be actually unique... well, as unique as they are in the books. Regardless, the idea is to make this a mud where immortals aren't needed to facilitate player advancement, but players can advance to upper reaches themselves, with nothing more than an investment of time, relationships, and effort.</desc>

     <desc>The second war against the Cylons is over and The Twelve Colonies have been destroyed. Now Commander Adama of the Battlestar Galatica and President Laura Roslin lead a ragtag fleet of refugees in a supposed search for the fabled lost thirteenth colony, Earth. However, the dangers they face are many which compound an already difficult situation. In addition to The Cylons hunting and attacking the fleet in space; their infiltrator units carry out a more subtle plot even as their former unwitting pawn, Gaius Baltar, helps in the hunt for them while hiding both his own guilt and the strange presence that haunts his every thought. If that wasn't enough, the fleet also faces internal political conflict of which the rabble rousing figure, Tom Zarek, is merely the loudest dissenting voice. In the midst of these trials however, clues begin to appear that suggest that Adama's simple bluff about Earth may be more truthful than anyone knowing could have guessed.</desc>

     <desc>The unique world of PowerMud has been around since May of 1997. The world is over 7000 rooms and is full of exotic and unique settings, monsters, and items.  There are no 'stock' areas on PowerMud, they are only found here and nowhere else. There are Twelve different races to choose from, as well as over Twenty Guilds that you character can join.  The types of Guilds range from Thieves, Mages, Clerics, Fighters, to other 'non-stock' guilds such as Assassins, Monks, Merchants, Cultists, and Illusionists.  Having multiple characters is allowed as well, so you can find a character that suits you best. PowerMud uses a customized Skill system, where experience is gained for a certain skill by actually performing that skill!  For instance, if your character can 'hide' in the shadows, practicing doing so will raise your skill level.  No more dividing up your experience points between non-related skills!  As for the different skill types, there is a high number of them, ranging from the normal combat skills (slash, blunt, pierce) to specialized skills such as 'Advanced Melee', 'Sailing', 'Mercantile', 'Fishing', and 'Mental Attack' (Psionics, which any Player could potentially possess). Once your character gains some well-deserved experience, you can then choose from over Forty Professions.  These Professions will augment your general Guild skills, or perhaps add new ones.  You could choose the Bard Profession, and learn how to play songs that boost skills while also gaining some needed thieving skills.  Or perhaps you would want to go to the 'builder' Professions, such as Chef, Blacksmith, Carpenter, Inditar (Scroll making), Alchemist, or Artificer.  Maybe you want to supplement your fighting skills, so you could go with Archer, Bladesman, Sapper, Duelist, Horseman, Blind-Fighter, or many others.  Since you can have more than one Profession, the unique combinations possible are only limited by your imagination. PowerMud has a non-PK killing zone called the Killing Fields, where Players can go to and battle each other without fear of losing a life. Every now and then Grand Melees are held, with the winners obtaining prizes consisting of free experience, money, and magical equipment. The Developers and Players on PowerMud are friendly and easy to get along with, and the Admins are almost always online to answer any questions that you may have.  If you log in and experience the unique atmosphere that is PowerMud, you will surely enjoy it.</desc>

     <desc>Sanity's Edge is a cyberpunk genre mud set in the decaying center of Edge City. Two sides of life are vividly depicted, the rich, opulent life of the corporations and the wretched squallor of the street. The year is 2032 and local politics have been effectively controlled by the corporations, led by the dominating Cybernetic Matrix Designs corporation. The glittering CMD building looms brightly at the center of downtown, but not far away the seedier aspects of life hide in run-down apartment buildings and shadowy alleyways.</desc>
     <desc>Street gangs stake out territory, and are always looking for more cannon fodder like you to join their ranks. Just remember, it's a war out there, and you never know when you might get caught in the crossfire.  Crime is on the rise, and netrunners are the wave of the future, becoming the backbone of the crime scene with their intimate knowledge of the Net.</desc>
     <desc>Safety has become a thing of the past; you may find yourself assaulted by a street kid with a switchblade or an irate shopowner with a sawed-off shotgun. With a little luck and some smarts, you might fight your way to the top -- even into a corporate job. And then you'll only have one thing to worry about, your CredCard -- never leave home without it.</desc>
