Thank you all very much for your welcome! I have spent this week poring over the forum and have found some really interesting and thought provoking threads.

I lost count of how many bookmarks I have added from peoples advice and suggestions and checking out various MUDs!

I have narrowed them all down (finally!)

ChosenSpace is definitely at the top of my list as I have spent a few days reading all the wiki and character biography tips (the bad bio's are hilarious..and kind of scary in some cases!), I am hoping to have a bio ready before I log in so I wont be idling on there while I type it up on the spot! I can't believe people just don't bother to read the wiki for advice before applying!

Next, I was thinking of Sindome, a nice gritty cyberpunk that I like the sound of.
There are a couple of other sci fi ones (Firefly and CoreMUD) that sound interesting but appear to be dead, and a few I found in the database that have disappeared.

I also joined at tbaMUD and the Smaug Building Institute to learn!.

From reading so much, I have definitely decided I do not like PvP or H&S, I enjoyed Acahea, but like MudMan said, it is a LOT of reading and I found it confusing after a while. I was put off MUDS for ages because the few I joined I was simply swatted aside the second I entered the game 'proper' by some level five billion character and could never level up (not my idea of fun) and the quests were simply grinding away killing creatures for experience (my last character was a Druid, kind of against his beliefs!).

I am in a bit of a state really as I have apparently decided I like the idea of Roleplay, but I have no RP experience (I have been trying to play Traveller and D&D for over a year now, with no real succes) and sometime on a Star Wars PbP (Vast Empire) which gave me some idea what to do!.

Oh well, I guess I will just jump in and hope I don't commit any fatal MUD faux Pa's! Thanks again for welcoming me, this is truly a goldmine for MUDders I never knew they were so popular still!

It's terrible, I am even thinking of RP'ing with my EVE character! I swear this site is a bad influence! ;-)
