The Eternal-City (TEC) () is an RPI MUD. You must stay in-character at all times and role-playing is mandatory (you will receive infractions if you are being out-of-character). It is a MUD based on the Roman era (approximately 200 years before death). Player killing needs to be approved by the game staff. You can still be attacked and stolen from and even sent into a coma, but not killed unless approved and death -is- permanent. Game staff is not currently looking to recruit new blood. The game has been in existence since 1997 and has over 100000 rooms to explore. Just a note: character histories are not required to be written or submitted to be accepted unlike other RPI MUDs.

The mechanics are different from any other MUD's out there. You do not earn experience points but instead Skill Points in your different skillslots which can be spent to learn attacks or better yourself in these attacks (the skill system is fully customizable - you decide what you want to learn and when). You will not be gaining levels. There are no classes or 'races' although you can have a different homeland that have some advantages (being a citizen, having a special trait, etc.) Combat is also manual, meaning that you have to enter your different attacks and you can even aim them at specific body parts to inflict more damage, or to find a flaw in someone's defense.

There is a very long list of social commands that can be used and the ability to use an 'emote' command.
