The MUD that you're looking for is . It's not SMAUG, but it's the best MUD of the type you describe.

You can pretty much get all your skills up and get your "mastery" item at 3 hours, and then by 4 you can get your hp to max. You don't need a single reason to pk, and its unlimited from there.

And besides, there are automated scavenger hunts. Free questpoints all around!

If you're looking for a truly pk-oriented mud with no fringes, go to groundzero. Currently they're located at groundzero.wox.org port 6666, but they'll be moving to gz.malawar.net as of the end of this month. Same ip, different DNS; you may just want to save the IP if you like the game.

GZ is a ROM variant from about 8-9 years ago. There are no levels, races, classes, or anything else. All you give is your login name and gender. Eq is randomly distributed about the game, as are the walls. Games last 90 minutes, and it's truly a shoot-it-out environment.

I've been playing there for about 2-3 years now. It was the best alternative to all of the MUDs I played long ago that have died because pking became taboo.
