If you're looking for a MUD, and you're a newbie to MUDs, thats okay, this is as good a place to start as any, and we have made sure that things are simple enough for you to understand quickly. If you're experienced, well, I'll level straight with you, we're a bit rough around the edges, and we don't have the bells and whistles and pretty colours you might be used to - but what we do offer is fair and balanced gameplay, and most of our time will be spent further improving that.
