Greetings all!

I've been mudding for wow..ever. Immed too! But now im old and cranky an im looking for some specifics in a fun game to play and i swear to you all, i only want to play a fun game, i swore off being an imm for all eternity:P  I want to play:) Here is my dilemma though, apparently, what I enjoy in a mud is very diffcult to find these days, but over the 14 years I've discovered what i like in my mud, so i will list what i am looking for and leave it to you fine folk to possibly point me in a direction.

1.  Level-less, Class-less
2.  Roleplay
3.  An advanced crafting system for the girls, combat system for the boys:P Or vice versa;)
4.  Diku heavily modified code (seems to be the only code that supports the above proper)
5.  An immortal staff that does not suffer from several, if not all forms of mania. (Like the man in Lethal Weapon, im to old for that....stuff)
6.  Freedom of character development, consistant plotlines.


Thats about it i think, if you have any suggestions, myself and my other old fart RP friends will be happy  try the mud out:)

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Though I don't think its Diku, I do have an LP-based MUD that has everything to the word that your after called Accursed Lands.

1. Leveless and classless. Any race can be any profession, though each race has plusses and minuses that make it difficult for them to achieve the finesse that other races could, depending on the skill.

2. We are Roleplay mandatory and triggerers/botting/using OOC communication such as AIM or ICQ to cheat the language system will result first in death and relocatuion to the other side of the world. Do it again and you may be banned from AL permanently. Many players write their own character histories and play by it.

3. We have a very realistic crafting system, with hundreds of things to make. From tanning, skinning and leather working using the pelts you skin off of animals, to smelting, metal working and mining skills that will let you craft weapons and armor, to simpler ones such as basket weaving, logging, whittling and herb gathering.

Our fighting system is likewise advanced and realistic, giving you no hit pool, but a health stat and portions of the body that can be harmed, crippled, or destroyed. Lose or cripple an arm and you drop any object you have and can no longer use the arm. This happens to the leg and you fall to the ground, no longer able to stand or fight very well. This happens to the body or head and you go into a coma until you heal. Heavily damage the body or head and you die.

4. Our staff is very dedicated and helpful, and though many jokes have been made, I would not call any of them maniacs.
They also do not mess with your character ICly or bother them in any way (unless your botting, see above).

5. You can make your character anything you like. We have an indepth and detailed theme that is made to give basic guidelines for each race, such as mysrra are honorable and truthful, and bramans are pacifistic and standoffish. You can go against theme, but you better have a good reason/excuse/story to give it plausibility.


I can guarantee that if realism, in depth theme and originality is what your after, AL will have you hooked. Our character generation is likewise very unique.
