IgorMud... Now where to start? Over the last 11 yrs this mud
has really been a high point in my life. The highly social
atmosphere has provided immense enjoyment and long lasting
friendships. Even in low times of my life the friends I have
made here have provided encouragement and support. It really
is a virtual sanctuary from the real world.
From the intelligent cerebral to the hack'n'slash, the questing
environment provides a challenging environment for all. Although
a constant source of frustration while endeavoring to complete
them, the sense of completion and triumph certainly outweighs
the challenge. As new areas are submitted and put in game regularly
there are MANY quests out there that have never been successfully
completed... Will you be the first?
The guild and club system is fantastic. These provide great support,
encouragement and advice. While the choices of guilds aren’t
extensive, they definitely provide a varied choice. From the uber-
defensive to the obscenely-offensive, from the diabolical to the holy,
we have it all! Clubs are many and various. Each provides some sort
of aiding abilities, from cheap healing to monster-stating. The
provide a fun and exciting environment as several of them are
directly opposed to each other giving a nice competitive edge for
when just hack'n'slashing grows weary.
After 10 years as a player, I finally decide to take the plunge and
throw myself into the deep end of wizard hood. Having had little
programming experience, I didn’t expect to cut it and thought that it
might be a passing phase. Boy was I surprised! The support I have
been given by a dedicated team of high-level wizard helper has been
second to none. I have gone from a complete coding novice to having
an area being reviewed for implementation. The support and knowledge
base is extra-ordinary. If coding is you thing... you can’t go past
here.
This is a place where anything can and does happen. So if you have
some spare time log in for a little while and check it out. You will
be made welcome and enjoy a new life... Igor-style.
