My MUD (NetherWorld) has been without a server the last few months, but it will be coming back before the New Year!
It really could use some more players, and if interested, it would be great if you checked it out.
Here are two websites about the MUD. The first is the official site, the 2nd a fan site that is very well done and informative:
The MUD has a reincarnation system that allows you to reinc into different races upon reaching your remorts maximum level. There are 3 remorts. The first grants you the ability of two classes (the first class you started with, and then a second), the 2nd remort grants you a few permanent spells, and the 3rd grants you a few more permanent spells, namely sanctuary. At level 35 you can remort to R1 (remort 1), level 40 R2, and level 45 R3. When you remort, you start over at level 1 and work your way up again. The same applies to reincarnations. Upon reincarnating, you start at level one again, but are stronger. This format results in a very addictive and fun way of building a character, and it's easily the best MUD I've ever played. And I've been there a long time..
Furthermore, you can reinc, as stated above, into other races upon reaching the maximum level in a given Remort. There are a lot of reinc races (well over 50) and many are tiered.. For instance, there are 5+ troll races, 10+ giants, Dragons, and much later on, demi-god races.
It's a really good MUD and very fun. The only thing it has lacked lately is a solid player base, but that seems to be the case with all MUDs lately, as the graphical games seem to be taking all the players.
The MUD is currently in the process of being moved to a new server, and by New Year's (ideally sooner), it should be back and ready to go. I'd recommend checking the Official Site (above) to get the most recent news about when it will be back.
If you do check it out, my character's name is Bonell, and I'll be on a lot. MUDs are the one game I come back to consistently, and I just can't get enough.
Take care.
