If youre into exploring then Abandoned Realms has more than a few things that reward that.
For example you can request tasks from shops (type task), the shop will then send you off to get an item for it. Bring it back and they'll pay you some money. Basically means every item in the game could be worth something. Keeps some people busy all day making money, since its rather hard to script =p.
(The real kicker with tasks is that the shop tells you what area to look in, so it helps you find the way to the goodies).
Then you can turn all that money into items by buying random-made items from the shops. Since you explored you would have found some very useful base items like .. belts that function as boats.. well I dont want to give away too much. Different shops have different biases in the attributes they sell, so mages might go to one shop, fighters quite the opposite.
To help you explore in general we got map/minimap commands, the map command gives you the overview (as if you zoomed out 10,000 miles) whereas the minimap generates a local ascii map.
The lore command isnt bad either, that'll give you the name of the area an object came from, as well as showing you any intersting words you're supposed to look at. Along with the typical mini-ID youve probably seen before.
Then theres our quests.. amongst others we have quests like 'collect the ten relics' which take forever to find. And our three top tier areas only open once every 40 hours, for 2 hours, the exploring group wet dream.. there's a unique item to recover from each area that all combine to unlock the grand-daddy of all mobs, but there's no way you could possibly do all 3 areas in 2 hrs.
If that dont keep you feretting for info forever, then try figuring out where all the rare items come from. Sinc eonly a limited amount of these can be on the server at any given time, it can be hard to find them on other people, let alone the monsters they're born on.
Though you might just spend a month hometown-exploring before you get on with any of that. Oh I should warn you though. The MUD has pk, so if you try exploring on it, better pack some recalls and find some good hiding places.
