Abandoned Codex has achieved a reputation over the
last 10+ years for great roleplaying in a well-coded 
smaug/merc-style environment. The improvements are too 
numerous to be listed here, but include such things
as an automatic Top 60 ratings system, an RP ranks system,
new races, classes and skills, remorts, over 50 new areas added
to the old favorites, and countless improvements to the standard
classes.

There's roleplaying (optional), quizzes, quests, clans, and
are open to suggestion about just about anything you want to
do! The mud's comfortably small-but-stable playerbase allows
the administrators to fit new races, skills, spells, and major
storylines around the PCs - not the other way around.

There is also a builders' port where we can accommodate all
your creative desires, and can offer training if
required.
