Greetings, I would like to tell you about my favorite mud, Duris: Land Of Bloodlust.I
started playing back in the mid 90~Rs, took a few breaks here and there but ultimately
couldn~Rt stay away.Duris revolves around player killing between two sides of a racewar.
The good side who are all surface dwellers, and the evil side mostly races spawning in the
under dark.
The biggest thrills I have still to this day are the epic 10 v 10 raids that break out.
Feel your blood pumping while you set your mind to the task of slaying all of your enemies.
Then rejoicing with your friends over a battle won, or working together to come back from a
battle lost. The world is full PvP meaning death could be lurking for you just around the
corner, waiting to stab you in the back or slay you with powerful magic.
The zones are very well done and range from 20 minutes to many hours, depending on what
level of difficulty you seek. The room descriptions are top notch and lure you into the
area you are exploring. The ANSI is also very well done, and always fits the theme of the
zone or Duris in general. There is also a graphical map that you travel between zones. Some
zones house powerful artifacts that you may claim for yourself but be warned there is only
one of each in the world and everyone will want it just as much as you!
The players and Gods of Duris are the real reason to play. Never in my life have I met a
more helpful group of people. When the Gods are not busy they will help you with anything
to the extent of their ability that is fair to both sides of the race war. Any player you
see with a guide tag is a tried and true veteran of the mud and will pour blood, sweat, and
tears into helping you advance in level and understand Duris.
When you come to try Duris you may want to start with the Good side as it is more new
player friendly. Though if you know your true calling is to play as an Evil race you will
find a much harsher environment due to the amount of aggressive mobs, but there is nothing
from stopping you from playing on the Evil side! I know I will see you out on the
battlefields soon, and I wish you the best of luck! If you see me on do not hesitate to
send me a tell, my character name is Abri.
