Featured article

A.V.A.T.A.R. MUD is a free, online, massively multiplayer, fantasy, text-based role-playing game (or MUD), set in a real time virtual environment. It combines elements of role-playing games, hack and slash style computer games, adventure games and social gaming.

It began as an LPMUD called Farside MUD at Newcastle University, in the summer of 1991, before ultimately relocating to the United States of America. It suffered catastrophic loss of data in August, 1994, which led to a switch to the Merc codebase. On the 8th of August, 1995, it changed its name to A.V.A.T.A.R. MUD.

Over two decades the game's environment has grown into a fictional world spanning 327 areas across 20 planes, comprising 20,000 unique rooms with gameplay and features that significantly deviate from the original Merc code base. {Excerpt from the article AVATAR MUD on MUD.WIKIA.COM}
