The Abysmal Realms MUD is a Roleplaying/Restricted Playerkilling MUD derived from ROM2.4 code. The Realms opened to the public May 1st, 1997 and has grown steadily since then. Those accustomed to ROM playing will be pleased with the enhancements we've made while still retaining the best of the ROM 'look and feel'. In other words, we didn't gratuitously change things just because they could be changed. Changes were made specifically to enhance the player experience. with special features for a player who is literate in client programming. The server is highly stable, with uptime of nearly a year logged on a couple of occasions.

Somewhat unique to A/R is the notion of a character's "permanent alignment". This alignment is declared at creation and essentially remains unchanged by the character's actions. The "current alignment" is affected by decisions made by the character, and works like stock ROM.

The focal point of Abysmal Realms is our clan system. Those new to Role Play will find it natural to fall into RP mode because of the distinct personalities and purposes of each clan. We find best role players often prove to be the first time mudders! We have a clan that is dedicated to life and helping those that are inexperienced learn. Again, you can visit our web site for info on the clans.

Though PK is supported, it is judged by strict standards of appropriateness within the RP context maintained here.

We have user-selectable ANSI color, many spam reducing features, and questmasters available for questing anytime.

The mud is served by a conscientious and talented staff of immortals. We also have an mprog driven economy, where many things are 'made' by mobs, and we are striving to include every item in the realms in a like manner. Watch as items are picked, gathered, or mined and then processed into foods, weapons, armors, and potions.

WE HAVE NOT HAD A PWIPE SINCE OPENING, and do not plan on one in the future.
