RavenMUD was originally started by a handful of people from 
Da Shadow's Domain and ShadowMUD.  After many modifications 
from its original code Raven now has many unique features 
including: improved A.I. Mobs (NPCs) using special procedures
and more recently DG Scripts, multi functional magic items, 
numerous operational cities, and an online creation system, 
just to list a few.  Player grouping and role playing 
are quite popular with 11 classes and 11 standard plus 9 
remort races to choose from.  Exploring Raven's vast and 
ever expanding areas will not be a hassle, with saved aliases 
and abbreviated commands to ease the amount of typing. Clans 
and custom clan housing that offers to many options to list 
add greatly to an already rich role playing environment. 
Planned and impromptu quests are frequently run with various 
themes and objectives that range from capture the flag, city 
defense, seek and destroy, rescue missions, treasure hunts, 
capture the flag, and many many more. A talented Imm and 
mortal staff continuously produce original areas and improve 
game play in many facets. An entire city is devoted to players 
new to MUDs is available to start in with helpful and 
informative mobs and help files to get your journey underway. 
Raven is very stable and has been around for quite sometime 
and will continue to exist indefinitely. Whether new to the 
game or a veteran this is everything you are looking for in a 
MUD.
