Hello there.
This is against my better judgement, as I usually don't offer up posts about what I'm involved with or doing, but how can it really hurt? The mud I am going to refer you to is The Southlands. or telnet: elwar.com port 8888. I'll try to detail how we fit your listed needs, and maybe it will spark interest. If not, well, can't fault me for trying.
RP - Southlands is an immersive roleplay experience. This is where you are playing a character, similiar to out of a novel. Once connected you -are- that character in thoughts, actions, decisions and motivations. If you see an ooc communication, it is likely someone asking a question or trying to help. But otherwise, it is 100% roleplay, strictly enforced.
Pay to Play/for Perks - The only perks come with good roleplaying and time investment.
Immortals - Southlands has a team of immortals who have been dedicated to the project for, on average, 8 years each. There have been some who have come and gone but the core group has been around for many years and are all very helpful and interested in seeing to it that new players have a forgiving learning curve.
Mythos - Southlands has a high fantasy, rich theme centered around a race of elves (other races available with experience) living in a lush, forested setting. Politics and religion are both key elements to the game's design.
World Development - 60,000 rooms of well written, original material. If the main city isn't enough for you, you can visit one of the other centers of civilization.
Alignment - If you're good or evil you have to prove it through your character actions. There isn't some coded standard to live upto saying you have to be evil. It comes down to whatever motivates your character to being a jerk or a saint. So long as it is in character to do so.
PK - PK is allowed, but generally, there have to be IC circumstances for it to happen. It would be considered an irrational, criminal act to just go and blick someone for their gear. Numerous things lead up to a player death at the hands of another player.
Size - Strong, steady playerbase at all times of day, with the obvious decline during the wee hours of EST.
Permdeath: Yes. Gone is gone.
Hopefully this gives you some idea of what Southlands is about. It isn't for everyone and rather pointedly says in the login screen that it -can- contain adult oriented material in the way of violence, language and relationships, so the playerbase is preferred to be 18+ years of age.
But there you have it. I can be reached at if you have additional questions.
