Hi all.

I've played MUDs on and off for a while now. The games I've stayed with the longest are the Iron Realms games Achaea and Lusternia. The PVP combat systems are what held me.

My only problem with all the MUDs I've played have been a lack of main storyline, one which I really felt a part of as a player. Although I've never really gotten into any of the big graphical MMOs something I did really like was that feeling of progression through a story arc, such as in Lord of the Rings online. Is there a MUD with a similar concept? Would this even work in the medium of text RPGs?

I understand it would need to involve very sophisticated NPCs as well as much other coding mumbo jumbo I know nothing about.

But is there anything out there?

P.S. I'm not slagging off Achaea or Lusternia, I think they're great, nor am I suggesting all other MUDs I've played are inadequate. I had blast while playing Materia Magica, New Worlds Ateraan and Threshold, all for their own unique offerings. I'm just curious about other games is all.
