My MUD, End of Time, basically fits your criteria.

We are based on the worlds of Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger, so there is certainly a heavy fantasy element throughout the game. It is important to note that familiarity with those games is in no way necessary to understand, enjoy, or effectively play the game.

We are an RP Heavily Encouraged game and it is my hope to build a strong and healthy RP community that helps keep the game thriving.

Our class system is based on a "promotion" system, where you start off as one class, then have the option to "promote" into specialized versions. The division is based on a light/dark or order/chaos type of system, so there is no inherent "good" or "evil" built into the classes themselves.

The Mage class branch goes:

The first promotion (White/Black/Advanced) comes at level 50. The second promotion comes at level 80, although currently we are capped at level 65 (although the level cap will be raised to 80 before the end of the year).

For the classes you are looking for, the Mage class would be the direction you'd likely want to take.

True to the games we are based off of, Mages can gain powerful summons by finding and defeating the legendary beasts. You start off with one for free, and before promotion, you have 5 others you can defeat to call to your aid. Our Mage class very much doubles as a Summoner. Upon promotion, you gain another for free and have several others you can learn (although at this point, the ones you can learn are dictated based on which class you promoted into).

Taking this even further, however, is if you promote to Black Wizard, you have the "caller" ability available to you, and if you learn it, you gain a skill set specific to gaining a greater control over the summons when you call them, including being able to cause them to stick around longer in a defensive position to tank for the character, being able to have them do their big summon attack immediately upon being called, being able to dismiss them at will, among others.

And while the final tier of classes aren't currently available, the "Magus" promotion from Black Wizard is, in effect, our Necromancer class. In addition to commanding the darkest magic in the game, they will be able to manipulate the dead, even raising them to serve them as pets.

Again, there is no "good" or "evil" distinction on these either, while going this route will certainly label your character "dark" or "chaotic", you are welcome and free to use these dark and chaotic forces in the service of good.

Our playerbase (and thus the roleplay) is a bit thin at the moment, but we are driving hard to try to drive up our numbers and get roleplay started.

If you think we might be what you are looking for, feel free to check us out at:
