An excellant mud. It's hard to fault this mud. It has an enormous range of features, clans, personal quests, global quests, wars, lasertag (a kinda paintball for muds). A large selection of classes and races, remorting, tiering and many others.
There is a good newbie help system with dedicated helpers, although its more of the 'point you in the right direction' rather than give you straight answers type. The mud school is basically the original ROM version with a few updates.
The number of players ranges from around 130 at offpeak, to 300+ at peak times.
The imms have a 'fairly' relaxed attitude, but they do occasionally exert a little subtle pressure. Multiple characters are allowed, but must not be online at the same time.
The clan system is well developed, to the point of raiding each others clan halls. Limited PK is allowed, but only if you are in a clan, and only in certain locations.
There are a couple of minor points that arn't so good, single quotes around spell names are still required in some cases, and the chat channels (of which there are ample) are 'split' by level because of the bandwidth generated by so many people online. Sometimes the mud also doesn't allow new character creation for the same reason.
This mud also has 200 levels, and seven races to remort through, and when you've done that, you can 'tier', go thru them again with a few bonus's like extra stats.
