A Moment in Tyme

A Moment in Tyme (MiT) is one of the oldest Wheel of Time based Muds on the Internet. Since 1994, our coders and builders have been working hard to bring in unique new features and our own original areas. MiT is currently on our second major revision of the codebase, and our areas are all completely original. 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.

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 are modified and built from the ground up. It will utilize 50 different body parts as well as have very realistically coded forms with special procedures.

Armageddon

This is the story of your brief existence in the harsh world of Zalanthas. Few denizens of this place see the endless deserts as a place of beauty, for theirs is a life of strife and hardship. While many tribes and wanderers struggle for survival, the only homes of true civilization are the warring city-states of Allanak and Tuluk, ruled by the oppressive god-kings and templars.

Armageddon, over fifteen years old, is among the oldest role-playing games online. Role-play is always required when you are in Armageddon: you are your character. A powerful code base gives you the tools you need to truly express yourself and become one with the role. Rare race and guild options such as defilers and half-giants are played by players who have proved themselves talented and responsible enough to do them justice. There are no out-of-character notions with regards to player-killing: if you do not watch your back, your death will be quick and final.

Shadow Siege

Shadow Siege is an originally themed fantasy role-playing game set in the world of Aagos after a cataclysmic event which has rendered much of the planet uninhabitable. We are a strictly role-play enforced MUD, and thus the focus of the game is to develop your character over time through role-play and interactions with other characters.

We encourage the development of our community both IC and OOC in a number of ways, including through the stories, logs and role-play blogs many of our players have set up. With four unique races (well, unique save for Humans, but we all need some familiar territory) and a classless and leveless gaming system, there are no limits to the roles and stories you can create for your characters.

Would you be a conservative Telanthan shocked and dismayed at the sudden changes to their once proud and upright city? A refugee from Yarsin forced to flee the great metropolitan city, to live like rats, trying to scrape a living amongst the dark and overpopulated streets and alleys of Telantha's refugee district? Or a Virothian noble; still trying to cling onto the rights and privileges of their rank and title and maintain a standard of living simply unsustainable in the ruined economy of the rapidly changing world?

Whatever you decide, Shadow Siege will be a home to your character, and will help to bring their story to life.

Forgotten Kingdoms

Forgotten Kingdoms is an RPI (Role-Play Intensive) game which is set in the Forgotten Realms multiverse. The game has over 250 unique areas and is still growing rapidly, thanks to a large team of builders who continuously update existing areas as well as adding new areas and challenges.

New characters can choose from a huge range of races and subraces, including sun elves, moon elves, tieflings and even centaurs. Once you have selected your characters race, you must choose a base class of Warrior, Wizard, Rogue or Priest, each of which offers a different roleplay experience, and can be further customised by joining one of almost 50 guilds.

Additional key or unique features of Forgotten Kingdoms include:

1. A large range of feats and meta-magic feats, ranging from 'arterial strike' to 'bloodline of fire' through to 'spell-casting prodigy'.

2. A unique 'spell memorisation' system based on system used in Dungeons and Dragons. This means no mana!

3. Well over 300 spells to choose from.

4. Many avenues for character development, including joining organisations such as the Zhentarim or the Harpers, joining the inner circle or even becoming the high priest of one of 30 faiths...the possibilities are myriad!

5. Close, but not slavish reproduction of Forgotten Realms lore - as a result of various wide-ranging plots and the actions of our players, our world has taken a different path to a different present...

Forgotten Kingdom's greatest strength is its large population of superb role-players, who ensure that there are always several ongoing plots to be a part of...

Come join our online community, we promise you an excellent role-playing experience!

Harshlands

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, guide, criminal, clery, law enforcer and many more. 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 low-magic world based loosely on a composite of 9th-14th century Britain. The game world includes over 16,000 original rooms in smoothly integrated and universally consistant zones, ten deities, five human ethnic and cultural groups, and three non-human races selectable by players of proven ability. 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.

Shadows of Isildur

Taking place in J.R.R Tolkien's Middle-earth in the year 2460 of the Third Age, Shadows of Isildur is a role-play intensive MUD that focuses on the conflict between the mighty citadels of Minas Tirith - the bastion of power of the exalted descendents of the fabled Numenorean empire - and Minas Morgul, the once-shining spire conquered and subverted by the Witchking of Angmar to serve his own sinister, and as of yet unknown, purposes.

New players can choose to take the role of either a human in the grand kingdom of Gondor, or a goblin under the Witchking's malefic reign; as the player accumulates roleplay points to their account, more races and roles will open up to them during the creation of their next character. We are roleplay enforced; in-character behavior is mandatory at all times, and characters here are by application only.

Our building is absolutely top-notch, as is our coding, our playerbase, and our staff. If you are a fan of Tolkien, an avid roleplayer, or both, I encourage you to check us out! All are welcome, from the most die-hard Middle-earth afficionados to those who weren't even aware of its existence until now.

Black Sands Mud

Black Sands is an RPI mud designed by a small team of talented developers with the intention of providing an unbeatable and easily immersive RP experience. We are a true RPI, like Armageddon, SOI, or Harshlands, there is no xp, levels, global chat, and definitely no second lives for those lost out in the sands.

One of the main differences between our mud and others is the size. Focusing on a smaller scale instead of an awe inspiringly huge world, the goal is to have players thrown right into the center of the world’s events. This smaller size will help focus pc vs pc interactions, as well as allow players themselves to be what is actually changing and affecting the storyline. This is to promote fun rp experiences for anyone, from the hardcore mud player having adventures for eight hours in a row, to the part time player who can come on once or twice a week for an hour.
Magic is very low fantasy, rare and distrusted. Apartments and guildhalls are rentable for pc run clans. And the economy is all player driven as objects stay and every game is a save room. So when you die in a cave, 2 years later somebody might come across your corpse and the things you were carrying.

Although we are still marked alpha, construction has been going on for a year now including the planning stages and we are almost prepared to accept beta testers. At the moment, our beta test positions are only open to players of other RPI mud’s to ensure our high standards.
Icly, the game focuses on the stress and racial tensions found in the last stand of mundane society. A dark army of Mora have laid siege to the city of Bal-Travas for generations, and humanity is pressed into close quarters with elven kind and the other races of the dust bowl trying to escape and survive the horde.

The last section of our player side history is:
128 M.S. - Generations have passed since the last assault on the walls of Bal-Travas, but age old magic is gaining strength again, and for the first time in most lifetimes, the assaults on the walls have begun again, forcing Bal-Travas to seek and search through its population for its greatest heroes yet.

Dark Horizon

The Aiian people have lived upon the island, Sural, for hundreds of years, content with the knowledge that their goddess-given home was the only dry earth on the great blue sea. Matters have changed. A new island has been discovered, its size undetermined, its land thick with dark, unexplored forest. Crowded conditions in Sural make this new land seem like a godsend, but is it?

Now, one hundred years after the colony's inception, residents turn a wary eye to the uncleared forest about their tiny town-on-a-hill. "Exactly what is out there?" They ask themselves. But do they really wish to know?

Dark Horizon is a role-play intensive MUD with a colonial/nautical theme. Players initially embody new colonists, freshly come to the island colony, grasping a deed. Role-play is key in Dark Horizon, and players who perform their parts will find new and exciting roles opening up to them, both with their initial character, and suceeding ones. Our codebase offers a variety of new options including an all-new wound system, a coordinate grid, far seeing, sense specific echoes and advanced ship and sea code.

Dark Sun

The endless wastes... The burning sand... The crimson sun...

This is the world of Athas, the world of the Dark Sun campaign setting. Athas' savage, primal landscape is the result of long centuries of ecological and magical abuse. The world is dying. It breathes its last gasps as water turns to silt, grasslands become sandy wastes, and jungles decay into stony barrens. Till, life finds a way to endure even in these hellish conditions. In fact, it thrives.

Athas is a place of contrasts. Bleak deserts exist beside verdant belts, rocky badlands give way to thick forests, and scrub plains surroud opulent oases. These contrasts go beyond envrionmental conditions. Magic, for example, is relativly scarce and universally feared, while psionic powers are a common and accepted part of life.

Water is more precious than gold in this resource-depleted world, and metals of all sorts are likewise in short supply. Except for heat and sun, blood and dust, few things can be found in abundance. Children growing up beneath the crimson sun don't aspire to become heroes. True heroes who champion causes or seek to make the world a better place are as rare as steel on Athas. Living to see the next dawn is more important than defending a set of beliefs, so survival ultimately motivates all living creatures - not virtue or righteousness.

Today, Athas rushes toward its future. If the course of destruction is to be diverted, if Athas is to be restored, then more heroes must grab the reins of destiny and give Athas a new hope.

Deep Below

Far from the eyes of the modern world, there exists a realm that has only been hinted at in our myths and legends. The world beneath the streets is full of life and magic, unseen by the world above. The UnderWorld is divided into various Demesnes, Baronies and Fiefdoms. Like the kingdoms of old, the Domains of the UnderWorld forge alliances, trade in goods and services…and, at times, make war upon each other.

Outside of the Domains, the UnderWorld is wild. Great beasts lurk through dark tunnels, ready to devour the unwary. In caverns deeper than any UpWorlder has ever traveled; there are lost cities, built by inhuman hands. The Radiance manifests itself in wondrous and unexpected ways. There are villains, and there are heroes. This is the World Below.

The Greatest Generation

The most persistent sound which reverberates through man's history is the beating of war drums.
- Arthur Koestler

This is a MUSH about war - specifically, World War 2. Here you get to play the soldiers of the various combatants of the most devastating conflict in human history. We plan on covering just about every campaign of the European theatre at some point, from the German panzers crossing into Poland, through the desert campaigns of Africa with the British and their allies fighting the Afrika Korps, the Eastern Front against Russia, and finally, D-Day, the Normandy campaign and the final year of the war. While the setting is about war and needless to say there is a lot of combat, that doesn't mean there is no roleplaying. RP is required, and the overall intent is for the experience to be akin to a war movie.

Towers Of Jadri

The Towers of Jadri is a completely original roleplaying oriented MUD without the restraints of classes and levels. A unique system of magic and magic-like talents provide large possibilities for characters while even those without magical abilities may rise to fame and glory. With thirteen guilds, the possibility of joining or creating a noble house, and bonds of friendship, it is easy to find a group to play with.

The world is full of history and places to visit, with fifteen current cities and 11 nationalities to choose from. Character creation is simple, and we are newbie accessible with a channel that can be used for help even in creation. Both players and staff are knowledgeable and willing to help new players settle into the world.

The world is easily huge by just counting confines of city limits, but a giant world map complete with more than five types of effective terrains and intercity carriages between some cities make the world simply staggering in size.
