Formerly known as Southlands, the game has taken a unique turn and becoming a fresh face in the mud scene. This is where -you- as the player take control of your concept, your story and you play how you would like.

This is the game that the only thing that is stopping you, is the gameworld environment and your creativity. We're looking for more players to give the game a try!

Pros:
- Very supportive staff to help bring your story and troubles to life.
- Reactive game world where what you do will bring consequences (staff will make sure of that).
- Personal storyline is liberal, be a freeman, a criminal or even part of the Enclaves (only through special application).
- Familiar combat-wise.
- Learn ANY OTHER CLASS SKILLS! No timer cap, keep learning as you use it!
- Quite a unique racial culture and differences.

Cons:
- Small playerbase (which might be a good thing!).
- Slow season (til we get more players!).
- High learning curve.
- Challenging to catch and understand the lore, history and culture.
- Sundown Enclave is currently closed.

Please visit their forums @ db.eoemud.com - Index page - the Human Documentation thread is free for everyone to read the most updated information about the different families (nobles) in game. Currently the policy is that you're a 'Freeman', meaning you do not belong to the named Enclaves, but if you have an interesting concept, feel free to email: esos@eoemud.com

- Musicians, Historians, Artists, Librarians, Traders, Crafters, Hunters, Whores, Peddlers, Soldiers, Mercenaries, Madame (brothel owner), Writers!
- Avasar Party Farmers/Herdsmen/Breeders, play out all those lavish, primal and carnal orgy parties with your best brewed ale and lagers, breed battlesteeds, animals to produce unique foods and hides!

What's this? There was some magickal attack on the human city?!

Join us now, to either be part of the opposing or defending side. We'd never going to know what's going on!

[lussien]

For those that love to play the outlaws, the misfits and being a thug/yakuza/mafia in your own right? Recently the slums have been expanded to make the playground far bigger and fun for all you nonsense sneaky sneaks or brutish thuggish thugs. Sewers? Yeah we have them. Rooftops? Sure do! Be that vigilante, that double agent, or merely a slummer trying to find food for this next meal or that aspiring gang leader/crimelord selling dark intel/illegal things for a hefty price.

You're going to be playing the meanest, lawless part of town, the Shaada Rue. Either stay in or get out, get rich or stay poor, die getting out or kill getting in.

(Rape/sexual harassment/torture/gore roleplay is allowed but under heavy scrutiny, as long as the receiving party responds favourably or gives OOC consent to subjugate their PC to said horrors. Always know your player rights.)

This place is not for the faintest of hearts.

From staff:

We're always looking for new players and returning old players. And we've got so many roles open and available, just to give the social player something to do, the explorer places to visit and the skill-grinder the knowledge that they can play largely classless and learn to do everything available. Do something different, go ice fishing and play in the snow, mine ore and peddle it to a smith to get good metal gear. Just let yourself find a role and lose yourself in it. It's not terribly hard. Right now I'd love to find people interested in the following roles: 1. An army Sergeant. A task master who enjoys training, playing those types of roles while invigorating the gameworld. 2. A tavern manager/owner. Set your own prices, adjust your menu, collect revenue, schedule events. If you're a social player who just wants to have a smoking jacket and a pipe while engaging people's stories? Do it. 3. Criminals, thugs, brothel workers and patrons alike. Our slums area is big now, there's plenty of opportunity. 4. Smiths and miners, creators of metal weaponry and armor that will be the envy of all. Mastercraft? Psht. Submit your items and we'll put them in for you to create. 5. Artists, bards, social butterflies. Entertainers with stories to tell and cultivate. Just some observations as they relate to Esos. Thanks to our loyal players, we do appreciate everything you do and bring to the table, and we hope that we can drudge you up a few more people to share it with.

Send in your concept to esos@eoemud.com!

As above, as below from staff:

I'll keep this short, sweet and to the point. Referencing this post (db.eoemud.com - View topic - Special Application Format:) for your submission, the following roles are now open. 1. From the Avasar Enclave, a sales and support worker who has an interest in liquors, tavern interaction, fighting and causing some interesting RP. Male or female. Family. 2. From the Kavka Enclave, a sales and support worker who has an interest in arms and armor, spending money, mining and with an intense hatred of all things dwarf and Nadu. Family. 3. From the Nadu Enclave, a sales and support worker who has an interest in renting out apartments and engaging social events in the Nadu Teahouse. Artist pcs preferred. 4. From the Kaden Enclave, a tough as nails, young Sergeant who, because of nepotism, got promoted before they are ready. Someone treading on name, but interested in being more. 5. From the Slums, a corrupt and down on their luck business manager who decides they want to make a change and build some positive trade in the area. 6. A dwarven leader who has every intention of changing the methods and means of the dwarven people. 7. Artisans and performers. 8. Someone interested in being outside the enclave system, interested in playing a mercantile wizard with some support. Make friends, make enemies! Drive plots! Show me what you've got.

[lussien]

OMG 2 role openings? The MADNESS. It only means that because lots of players die off in our player and staff driven plots. It's crazy right now. Think you can handle it?

Council Member How would you like to be the one pulling the strings? How would you like wealth and power and the pretense of being important? We are looking for a member of the Council. I am not going to say for which Enclave, right now, because I want to see proposals that show some creative depth toward taking the enclaves into a more active and interesting place. This is ultimate player driven leadership for your ideas and goals, so put some thought and effort into it. REGULAR PLAYTIMES will be required for the role, sad but true. Follow the guidelines on the special app post with your concept proposal.

A Delicious Brand of Evil NEXT WAVE OF EVIL! BRING IT! Your concept needs to follow the conditions of the special application process...and it needs to be just, downright, awful, bloody evil. So evil.

In addition for the Special App Format:

Special Application Format: All special applications, be they role called or odd characters you wish to submit need to adhere to the information listed below and be emailed to: esos@eoemud.com About the Character Name: Short Desc: Main Description: Background: Short Term Goals: Long Term Goals: About the Player How familiar are you with the situation your character is going into?

[lussien]

Uh oh! New role call? We die far too fast..

There's a couple of roles if we're talking city proper side.

1. Military needs more people to rebuild the squad and take on the challenges of evil. And the go to people for expedition and martial jobs. Even if you want to be part of the military but not wanting to be soldiers, we can have other roles like a administrative persons and taking care of the soldiers' well being, etc.
2. Kavka needs miners, merchants, salespeople.
3. Avasars aren't looking to hire anyone currently, I believe.
4. Nadu, perhaps, merchants, salespeople, hunters, dancers and performers for their Lounge (that is uber exclusive).
5. Slums if you wanna play hardmode or the criminal enterprise (I think there's one absurdly strong but responsible thief/assassin in there right now).
6. Regular citizens of the regular class, looking to add flavor, atmosphere and just more social joys in the Greasy Bastard and Nadu Teahouse.

I think your game may need to have a lot more people playing than it usually does in order for people to take these roles and actually have anything meaningful to do. It usually seems like there's about 8-15 people on at any given time and they're scattered around without so much as a "where rp" command if they're not in the Greasy Bastard.

[Anaiah]

That's really not the case. There are many places you can find out where people are, but the rooms in which that is the case are all individually flagged, and they are rooms where it would make IC sense for you to be able to get that information - like on a lot of the rooftops, where you'd be able to see traffic on the road? Access. Military clan hall? Access. Other clan halls? Access in some, on request in others. Same at the fountain in the center of town, and the gate out of the city. There are rooms all over where you can see anyone willing to report where their pc is/what they're up to... but only in places where it would make sense to be able to access the information.


In addition, when I'm on at least (usually late nights eastern/central time), there tends to be 12-16, not 8.

[dark acacia]

Yes, but they still have to be in the respective places to be found.

At different times of the day, I've seen 8-15 people online. It's practically empty.

[Anaiah]

That's not the case, no. You have to be in those places to see who is reporting their location, and you have to be in those locations to report your location. It doesn't disappear when you move, it disappears when you logout, but that's a different thing entirely. And you can (and I have) report from one of those places that I'd be somewhere else, and go there. Often to great effect.

[dark acacia]

Okay, but it still doesn't change the fact that the population of the game is consistently very low.
