Want to play a mud that fun and challenging? What to RP and get fun stuff from it? Want to be able to PK anyone that ticks you off? Well.. I got just the place! Here is a small list of just some of the things Beyond the Shadows offers!

When grouping you can either defend or not. The damage is taken randomly through your group. Also we have stances that give you +/- to stats while fighting.
   
We have Professions. You can pick which one you want to be, and the higher your skill the more you can do. Professions are : Armour, Weaponsmith, Brewer, Scholar, Merchant and Diplomat.
   
YES!! We have  PK its RP enforced. Its open PK, but we believe that most people that play are mature enough to not overkill. We havent had any problems thus far, and thats great.
   
Our code base  is a VERY EXTREMELY MODIFIED ROM. The code has practually been re-written.
   
VERY Active staff You also can choose whom you wish to worship, if you wish to worship. All ideas are read and considered, and most have been Imped. Also if you stay and play for awhile and want to apply for a builder spot all are welcome to do so!
   
We have a classless system. What I mean by that is. Every person picks the order they want their class. When you 'Gain Exp' it pools then you decide which class you want to gain a level in. The function of classes are based on the order you pick them, so someone that has a Cleric as their 1st class, will be more powerful at healing then someone that has Cleric as their 3 class. Ect..
   
You can gain exp by the things you do, the damage you cause, the spells you cast, the skills you use, and what you do as a professional. Its not just about killing the mob!
   
We have clans/cables/cults they are fully made and run by the mortals, so if you dont like them, make one of your own   Clans can gain special items.. from clan halls, weapon, eq, pets.. ect.
 
Quests - we have live, Immortal run quests. Also, certain areas have hidden quests in them, to give gold, token, special objs.
 
We have Race geared Languages, so unless a dwarf has practiced their Elvish, they wont be able to understand your conversation if speaking in Elvish
   
Our eq is based on your race & level and somtimes even your stats. So you most likely wont see a giant wearing leggins made for a pixie. Also we have Random stats on eq! It has the D2 feel! One day a sword might be +5 hit/dam and next time you get it.. +6 hit/+4 dam making it hard for you to get the same exact piece often.
 
There are New things are added all the time! Most things are ideas from our players! Its their mud we just keep it running!
