I wish to extend you an invite. Beyond the Shadows, is an RP MUD.Our code has been stripped and re-built. We are running ROM.

Now for some points.

- Our setting, is Medieval Fantasy.

- Your RP is endless, you can be whatever you want to be. We have an extended Race selection. Almost every race has it's own language (which is learnable). Also, clothing that may fight large races, will not fit small races and vise versa. So you wont see a giant wearing the same clothing as a Pixie.

- We have professions, so you can, craft armor, make weapons, brew potions, scribe scrolls (spells or stories), create and run a clan of followers, or open a shop for business. Player homes are avaiable, as the staff builds and creates new places.

- We have something called RPPL (Roleplay Priveledge Level) If you are in some deep RP and wish to be noticed, or want to let others know, so they may join, you can toggle a flag. We are a RP mud, so players are expected to always be in RP mode, flag or not. Each level achieved by RP, grants the player new commands. The first few levels are given by Immortals, unless a player as reached the highest point, then players can reward other players.

- Our staff is awsome. We do not take sides, and everyones voice is heard. We accept all ideas, and most or imp'ed. We are very active, and very commited. You have the option to 'worship' a certain god, and depending on your choice, you may find you get lots of help when needed, or you may get it once in awhile. You may also choose to worship nobody. We are very friendly and welcome all new people the best we can without actually doing all the work for them.

- We have a multiclass system. 5 classes. You pick the order you want them in during creation. Then when you gain exp it pools and you decide which class you want to give the exp to. Although everyone has the option to get all 5 classes, someone that is 1 class cleric will do awesome in cleric skills and spells, but if your 3 class cleric you might find it a bit harder to cast that spell.

- We have random eq stats and random eq drops. You might never get the same obj from a guard, and if you, it might have different stats on it. IE.. it may have +50 hp the next time it will have +30 HP +2 CON. ect..

You may like the place, you might not. We have a very loyal, but rather small playerbase. It ranges from 2 people to 20 people, depending on the time of day. Most of the staff are there and always avaiable, even if they can't be seen, just means they are working on something new. Well.. it can't hurt to give us a try, if you think we fit your outline. If not.. best wishes on finding what you search for!

Happy Mudding

Exactly how RP oriented is it?
Do your skills increase realisticly or only through xp?
Is xp gained through mob-killing?
And most importantly, is there permadeath or does your char pop back up magically every time he dies?

[Haley]

- Your spells and skills can be practiced using "practice points" only to a certain limit, then they will only increase by usage.

- Exp is gained through using your skills, casting spells, and the amount of damage you cause. Yes, you fight mobs, but the actual kill is not what you get exp from.

- We are not permadeath. Although, the idea of ghosts and having to be ressurected is being tossed around.

[Rundvelt]

The real question is...

Is the admin staff impartial and bound by rules, or are they free to nuke at will?

[Haley]

Of course we dont nuke people at will. We are very friendly. I wouldn't be part of the staff if that went on. I played on a mud where the IMM staff were total power hungry bastages. You will not see that happen here.
