Re: Looking for an in-depth MUD

You should at least try 4 Dimensions.

We have just about everything that you are looking for, except one thing – our playerbase is rather small. It’s always been small, and since players breed players, we stay small. 4D is a truly free mud, without any sneaky tricks for your wallet, but that also means that we’re without funds for advertising.

But we do have a very large and detailed world. Since our theme is Time travel, we even have 4 large worlds – you can choose between PreHistoric, Medieval, OldWest and Future, and each Dimenson is consistently true to the time period and location.

Everything in 4D has detailed descriptions, for instance there are listen and smell descriptions for rooms, and smell/taste/feel descriptions for objects. We even have day/night descriptions for rooms, but since that was a late addition, not all zones have them, and they tend to be reserved for “special” rooms.

We have hundreds of built-in quests in the zones, not just the usual “kill this”, “bring me that” type, but real quests with a detailed and entertaining background story.

We have farming, gardening, lumberjacking, mining, goldpanning, fruitpicking, fishing, archeology and trading. When our massive update of the OldWest Dimension goes in next week, we’ll also have trapping, skinning, shearing, milking and ranching. You’ll actually be able to raise your own herd of cattle, horses and sheep and drive the animals to the market to sell.

And currently we have a team working on our craft system, that will enable you to put all the items that you collect, grow and raise to full use.

You can also date people, marry and have children.
And of course you can buy yourself a house to live in, with pets and mounts and servants. But not for Real Life money. Our crashprooh houses are expensive, but you pay for them with in-game currency, mostly from questing and trading.
