We are open to the public, and looking for players with a taste for detail. The unique code has been in development for 5 years, and it grows daily. Scenario is consistent and engaging, with creation myths, legends, and hidden knowledge to be found. Nothing is set in stone - we are still testing the balance of classes, and we take suggestions very seriously. We are one of the most stable MUDs you will find.
