[Eureka]

Hello,

I'm Eureka, a gamemaster for the above mentioned MUD, aalynor's nexus. I was happy to see such praise for our little home from a newcomer.

Aalynor's nexus was originally constructed from the mordor code, albeit heavily modified to such an extent it could hardly be called that now. It has several thousand rooms, including a complete city and island for newcomers- many places that have hidden exits that you have to search for and even more fun- puzzles which upon solved, can lead you to secret areas or hidden tunnels.

The game once upon a time used to have a good 30+ players online at any given time. Due to a hack incident the game crashed, and a great deal of time was spent bringing it back online. In that time several of our veteran players moved on in life, graduating college or persueing time demanding careers which do not afford them the time to play nexus anymore.

The environment and support are there, but the will of newcomers without proper direction often fades into nothingness- pushing them to leave before they get to see all the other cities, temples, religions, clans, guilds, caves and forests that the world has to offer. In that spirit, we have made some modifications to help keep the younger, new playerbase alive. Our island for newcomers is called Falcion. At the center of Falcion is a fountain which will cure poison if it is inflicted on you. Also, prior to tier 5 there are no experience penalties to death. The best place to learn the mechanics of the game would be in the very first room of the sewer of Falcion. You will know you are in the correct place because you will see a bloody note on the floor.

If you have a friend that you play muds with- you will get the full experience in learning and understanding this MUD if you play it together- or with a few friends even. Should there be an interest or spike in our lower tier playerbase, I would be more than willing to make sure that quests are run for new players to give much needed items or rewards that may be very difficult without a more experienced playerbase.

The game is played 100% in character, with a lounge for out of character conversations accessed by utilizing the 'OOC' command. There is also an in depth religion with several gods and goddesses that represent different things, like Paelina, the goddess of Duty, Valour and Honor- or Dilanis, goddess of Love and Peace. Exploring the depths of the religion only opens a whole new dimension of the game.

There is a wiki for this MUD if you wish to learn more about it,

Also, there is a forum for community discussion,
