There is one caveat regarding this that I'd like to mention. On MUDs as difficult (permadeath, no newbie zones, etc) and unique as most good RP MUDs, you should be careful about your first few characters. I've often come across people who overdesign their first character, planning grand schemes of some sort, elaborate backgrounds, etc., and have it all go to waste because what they had envisioned for their character was horribly, horribly out of place (e.g., an Elf who grew up tinkering with magical artifacts, with ambitions to be a great archmage of awesome power in a low fantasy setting where maybe 3 magical items exist on the whole MUD). Until you understand the setting well, keep your char background vague, and your expecations for your character's future wide open (on Arm, your first few probably won't last more than 3-4 days each, unless it's gotten much easier in the past few years).
