Based on the wonderful custom zones of AnotherWorld, a MUD that ran
for 10+ years, Bedlam offers many unique adventures and tough
bosses to take down. Skill and resourcefulness are always rewarded,
and the game doesn't pull any punches once you get to high levels.

Bedlam stands out from other MUDs with its visually rich web app 
[ http://playbedlam.com/app/play.php ] and its unrivaled iPhone GUI
app [ http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bedlam/id332137487?mt=8 ]. If you
prefer your own MUD client, you can still take advantage of a web-
based real-time map - one of many features aimed at enhancing our
players' experience.

Custom/from-scratch game world features include:

* Unique quest system
* Player-run shops
* Restricted PK arena
* Private houses with multiple expansion options
* Complex NPC companion system (with follower gear saving)
* Server-side automation (triggers, macros, multi-line commands)
* Complex character relationships and properties (bonding, solitude)
* Web OLC for builders

One of the top-notch "intelligent hack and slash" MUDs in production
today, the game's main emphasis is on the open-ended hunt for
artifacts. Enjoy exploring, solving puzzles, and mastering killing 
strategies with the help of other players or NPC's like necro undead,
hired mercenaries, or monsters from the wild. All NPC followers are
saved together with the player, one of many features that make the
game perfect for casual play.

Game-wide quests by human QM's as well as a growing library of
automated quests are available. In addition, many elaborate zone 
quests challenge the player's intelligence before they unveil their
hidden treasures.

We offer a relaxed RP-accepted environment. Our immos are cordial but
strict, enforcing fair play and attending to everyone's needs (our
support rivals/beats any pay-to-play game). Public channels are 
moderated.

Limited PvP is allowed in an arena setting (both parties must
agree to engage in a duel). Winners have a chance to gain trophies
that can be crafted into useful items.
