Everwar is up and running full tilt!
 
Everwar is a full-featured, expansive player-vs-player MUD.
The basic concept is a titanic struggle between good and evil -
player killing is not only expected, but encouraged! Evolving out of
and deriving ideas from the popular EmlenMUD Rites of Passage,
Everwar has been open for close to 7 years in various states.
It features a total of 23 races (11 balanced per side, as well as
humans which are playable on either alignment) and more than 200 
skills and spells.

Everwar allows for highly customized character design, using
a 'remort' based system. This system will allow you to restart your
level at 1, but with greatly enhanced abilities every time you
choose to remort. Upon remort, you can choose to spend your
accumulated 'remort points' in one of more than 25 different
statistics, customizing your character to your specific playstyle.
 
There is an extensive quest and crusade system, providing both
exhaustive solo and challenging group combat. The quest/crusade
system allows a player to explore the map, either individually or in
crusade groups. Target mobiles (creatures, or 'mobs') are located in
different far-flung areas, which encourages discovery and
adventure.  Through this system the player not only encounters the
map and other players, but is also rewarded with quest points. These
points can be spent in a variety of ways.

Another major feature Everwar offers over other MUD's is an integrated
overhead mapping feature. With such an enormous map, this is
a vital tool for players to utilize whether new or experienced. This
feature also allows new players to quickly learn how to find their way
around the world.

The most exhilarating feature of Everwar is the player vs. player
combat. Set in a mythic game world, the armies of light and the
forces of darkness are pitted against each other in eternal war.
Good and evil players cannot communicate, which adds a significant
amount of challenge to the field of battle a virtual 'fog of war'.
Intelligence is gathered by scouting and reconnoitering the enemy,
and when your foes are most vulnerable, the battle is joined!
Fighting and chasing occurs over more than 23,000 in-game rooms.

With your enemies vanquished, the spoils of war are yours in the
form of their equipment, as well as 'warpoints', which serve to
increase your standing within your chosen profession. 13 professions
are currently in-game. With choices ranging from the secretive 
assassin masters of poison and deceit, to the classic warrior, with 
their formidable armor and weapons, you choose how you want to fight!
