Fourteen (14) years of active development. Administered by
professional software developers and published authors. This
mud has a complex, detailed and sprawling world. This is a
player-centric mud supported by innovative and interesting
economic, legal and ecological systems.  Players run guilds,
players operate stores, players set prices, and players
build structures throughout the world.

  That said, it is a challenging mud. It's tough at the
bottom as a newbie because this mud has unique and complicated
game play; established players won't just roll over and give
up their turf (or cash!).  Its also tough at the top with
Lords and Guild Leaders responsible for administrative and
legal decisions which maybe unpopular with lesser players.
This encourages an active and participative society.
If you take the time and effort to learn the mud you'll
find it unique and engrossing. Many of our 'hard core'
players have been active for over five years.

  There are many ways to 'play'; it's not a killfest, we
strongly encourage role players and a responsible community.
But it's also a tough simulation; so the traditional
'warrior' adventurer will find plenty to fulfill them.
You'll find 9 innovative races, 11 guilds, 32 quests, like
you've never seen before.  Tough adventuring, big fantasy
world, friends and foes.  Take the time to know Shattered
World and you'll be richly rewarded!
