I was debating what I could post to attract more players to Adventures Unlimited (telnet: tharel.net port 5005) as I have posted many promotions for our mud over the last 7+ years. I decided that instead of listing the many features of the mud (of which there are many) or speaking about the mostly original world (80% of 10000+ rooms) or writing about the excellent roleplaying and nifty players; I will tell you why I love Adventures Unlimited and why it is special to me.

I am one of two coowners of AU. I have spent 7 years working on improving the mud. I have built areas, developed religions, written stories and histories, ran quests, met tons of players, helped newbies, coded new features, socialized, roleplayed and idled. There is not much on AU that I have not had some sort of hand in. I love how it has evolved from a stock Rom mud into a living breathing organism - we have players who have been with us from the first year until now.

I love Adventures Unlimited and that is why I still work on it regularly. I like to log on and see the staff members. I like getting on the out of character channel and speaking with the players, they are actually happy to see me. I like knowing I have a place to go where everyone knows my name (heh).

AU may not be the biggest mud around. In fact, lately our player base has been a little smaller but it is home. So please take the time to come and check out this mud. I cannot promise you that it will be what you are looking for but I can promise that you will be welcome.
