Iconoclast MUD has been in continuous operation since 1996, making
us one of the longest-running Cyberpunk/Gothic-themed MUDS on the 
Internet. We've long been one of the top Sci-Fi RP MUDS listed on 
the search engines, and a significant portion of our players have 
been with us since the beginning for that very reason.

Iconoclast is set at the dawn of the 22nd Century, and is based 
around the people and events associated with the free city of 
New Aurora. Genetic alteration, cybernetic enhancements, neural 
interfaces, excessive violence, corporate control, rampant gang 
and cult activity and a worldwide Matrix are accepted as the norm. 
The 6000+ room Iconoclast world itself is 100% original, and 
designed to be realistic without being detrimental to play. The 
focus is on quality, not quantity.

Our customized code (a Circle 3.0 derivative) encourages role-
playing while allowing a more traditional hack-and-slash style 
of play for those who enjoy that. Combat works differently than 
on other MUDS; there are no levels or experience points as such, 
but there is plenty of room for self-directed advancement to 
high levels of power and influence.
