just wandering if there was anything out there like this. I love the achaea/avalon fighting system it just ****ed me off how anti-climatic it was after all that fighting just to have you opponent respawn a few minutes later a little weaker and more ****ed off.

So yeah anything out there. much appreciated

edit: sorry if its the wrong section

I would say that Armeggedon is one of the better Permadeath games around if you are looking for strict permadeath and a harsh land. I'm sure there are others, just can't think of them at the moment.

The original poster has explicitly stated that he's looking for a mud with an Avalon/Achaea style combat system (i.e., balance/affliction-based). Both of the suggestions given so far use the standard 'kill' combat system.

Most RPI muds have permadeath, just as most commercial muds use some sort of balance/affliction combat system, but offhand I don't know of any muds that use both. It might be worth taking a look over the list of muds at though.

I don't think you'll find a lot of permadeath muds with a highly interesting combat code. Permadeath is normally associated with RPI muds where roleplaying is enforced, and while such muds often do have detailed combat systems, they're focused on realism rather than fun and action.

You are of course welcome to give Armageddon or another RPI a shot, noone's telling you that you can't. However I discourage it if your sole interest is combat and hack'n'slash. Not only will you probably be disappointed with the combat systems on such muds, but you'd also be playing those muds for the wrong reason.
