Children of Aranythera is a newbie friend mud, just starting
fresh with a great story line! What will you make of it? Will
you be evil and wreak havoc to the five main cities or will
you help bring peace to Children of Aranythera. Our story starts
out a long time ago…

Six children surround there father, the King on his death bed, all
wanting his kingdom for there own reasons. When one is chosen the
others are sent off to start there own kingdom, one of them is
never seen again, his believed deathplace becoming a shrine to
gods both feared and loved, the others set out to make cities
with there personalality inlayed in every stone, grown in every
tree, until they become large powerhouses on there own accord.
Centuries later that story is only legend, but there are still
five cities who fight for dominance using political, economical
and social means. They fight much the way of there ancestors,
the way of The Children of Aranythera!

So, you want to know about Mass Chaos? Well, lets start here…
What is Mass Chaos? Mass Chaos is the prodigal child of numerous
snippets of Godwars, Mindcloud, and Dystopia code. It's a PK MUD,
and I'll go ahead and say it right now: It's NOT for pansies. If
you're gonna log on and ask "What's PK?", just do me a favor and
ingest some Drano now. This is kill or be killed, and the sooner
that is realized, the sooner you'll be climbing to the top. Yes,
you'll probably die a few times getting started, but contrary to
popular belief, the players here will be more than happy to help
you… (But only so they can kill you later).

Here's the bottom line. If you're competitive, enjoy killing people,
enjoy frequent changes, and appreciate staff members that listen to
suggestions, you need to play this MUD… Plain and simple… If you
whine or you're an effeminate hippie, you can play anyway, but you
probably won't get very far. Why are you still reading this? Log on
already.

Legends of Old has just started and is currently needing builders and designers of areas. We are in beta stage and will most likely be that way for quite awhile. We are using a heavily modified SmaugFUSS 1.8 codebase that has many new features added into it.

My goal is to have a mud that has features from WoW and other muds that I have played/coded on in the past to create one epic mud that many can enjoy. Some features of our code:

Unique spell system (Discussing this at the moment whether we want mana or not)
- No mana
- Have to memorize spells

Quest chain system
- Like World of Warcraft, we have quest chains that can lead to other areas or other mobs within the area for rewards and money. If you log into the mud, you can check out the first 8 quests using the task system to test the powerful quest engine.

Socketed items
- As players progress through the game, they will gain socketed items that can enhance their items using gems.

We will eventually have instances of 5, 10, and maybe 25 man later on down the road. We will have nations/kingdoms against each other and hope to have a unique army system where players can donate to their kingdoms and gain army units for epic battles with other nations. Professions will be in game as well so players will be able to craft items, mine for minerals, and pick herbs for alchemy.

Please register with our website and pm me if you would like to join the staff. As of right now, it is just me and I spend most of my time coding and haven't been able to start building just yet.

The mud itself will be fantasy medieval setting with your regular dnd classes (although the spells/skills will mostly be original). More classes will be made and unique spells will be made for each class as time goes on.

Our first few projects will focus on minor starting areas and then as we get those in we'll start to tackle the bigger areas eventually leading into creating the instance areas with tiered gear and such.

Since we will be in beta testing for a long time, as long as you make progress on your areas, there are no time constraints to your area. I know perfection takes time. Plus if you are new you will need time to gain the knowledge needed for progs and making your area come to life, so I do not want to put stipulations on time commitments. We have our everyday lives.

So if you want a laid back atmosphere then please visit my site and pm me if you would like a chance to build on the mud.

Thanks for reading through this,

Tir na nOg is not for everyone. It wasn't meant to be. It was meant for long term mudders who are tired of stock variations and want something new, but still want something familiar enough to feel at home. Ten years ago, we started as a ROM and had the goal of making a mud that we, the imps, wanted to play. Through the years, we have moved far beyond the stock ROM experience, often with the intent of adding more realism, but we have tried to keep the fun of ROM that we always liked.

Today, our DeepMUD code base, with 30 levels and strict class separations, bears more resemblance to Merc than ROM. We've included ideas from everywhere and woven them together in our own unique way to create a unified, cohesive experience. Creation is done in game, and the races are so unique each will make you feel you're playing a different game. Levels are not automatic, they are earned, then awarded by Guildmasters and celebrated with parties. Players looking to create an identity can own and decorate their own homes, restring their EQ, and even change their name.

We've found that long term players stay after they've "won" because they find other goals than just reaching Hero. For many, it's seeing how fast they can make Hero on successive tries. For others, it's seeing if they can make Hero playing a less than ideal Race/Class combo. Others turn to social aspects, such as newbie-helping or administering a Clan. Tir na nOg supports these forms of alternate play in many ways, from providing performance information in the score such as 'mobs per level', to allowing Heroes to become Kings and set the rules for their own town.

We were told by one player that our first level is the equivalent of 'avatar level' on other games. Yes, it's a challenge. You might die in school. We don't have any throwaway levels, with only 30 total we can't afford it. However, each level you do make will give you a sense of satisfaction you're not likely to find elsewhere.

Vampire Wars is purely a vampire mud: it has no werewolves, demons or
mages. As such, it allows us to concentrate on vampires. We have
developed several new disciplines and are working on more. We
currently have 6 vampire clans and mortals.

Status is gained outside of the clan by player killing. The game has a
lot of unique features, far more than one could do justice to in a
brief description; come take a look for yourself!

VW Classic is owned and run by admin from the original Vampire Wars mud. We recently celebrated our 7th anniversary, surpassing the lifespan of the original VW. We also recently increased the size of the mud significantly. Come check out the new areas.

Welcome to Unicorn Valley, a wonderous land for brave and daring adventurers. Amongst the population here one will find elves, dwarves, sprites, halflings, half-elves, nereids, and humans living in relative peace with svirfneblin, drow, lupine, tabaxi, and dragonkin to name just a few. These wonderous races have many different abilities amongst them, including magic, thievery, and weaponmastery.

Once living here and growing up, the populace has a chance to enter mystical orders and clans. These highly specialized groups tend to help others as well as themselves. They have individual quests as well as major tasks like ridding the world of dangerous beasties.

As adventurers explore the world, it seems to keep getting larger as new vistas are discovered frequently. While just recently discovered itself, the Valley continues to expand, to the horror of the poor Cartographer who must then go out and discover how to get to the new places so that the inexperienced do not get lost.

Throughout the towns of Prexion, Aden, and Einar, many
tales have been told of the legend of the DragonStone. Most
believe the stories are that of a fool's imagination. Few,
though, dare to venture beyond the towns to seek the
truth….. Are YOU one of these?

The Legend tells of a great Golden Dragon called Corin-Mur,
who holds the stone within its lair. It is said that the
stone holds the key to immortality.

Choose from 16 races and 14 classes. Multiclass if you
desire. Breathe life into whatever you create.

There are many great tasks and quests to complete in your
search for the DragonStone. You must seek the aid of
others; alone, you are sure to fail. Join one of the clans,
or seek help from the friends you will make.

Rage of Vengeance is a PK mud, based upon the eternal struggle of Good vs Evil which have their own homelands, located on opposite sides of the map.

In the beginning there was darkness…

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.

The Prophecy awaits…
