I started out with an Ack! mud years ago, but grew tired of being 
so limited. I switched to Smaug and started to modify it to my 
liking. I added customized color, races, classes, remort system, 
usable furniture, players houses, auto quests, sound and a host 
of other modifications! I tried to make a mud that was easy to 
follow. A mud where newbies could learn and experienced players 
could be challenged. Along the way I had plenty of help building 
unique areas and coding special spells and skills. Of course, 
as with any mud, the most fun is when the player base is large. 
We allow grouping and in some cases (hard areas) it is encouraged!
Drop by and give us a try! I think you'll like it.
