Bedlam

Based on the wonderful custom zones of AnotherWorld, a MUD that ran for 10+ years, Bedlam offers many unique adventures and tough bosses to take down. Skill and resourcefulness are always rewarded in this intelligent hack'n'slash, and the game doesn't pull any punches once you get to the hero and champion end game. There is also no cap on character progression, with randomized loot and finely tuned stat boosting and long-term goals.

Bedlam stands out from other MUDs with its visually rich web app [ http://bedlam.mudportal.com/ ] and its unrivaled iPhone GUI app [ http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bedlam/id332137487?mt=8 ]. If you prefer an advanced desktop MUD client, you can use our custom Mudlet GUI or use your own and take advantage of a web-based real-time map - one of many features aimed at enhancing our players' experience.

Custom/from-scratch game world features include:

* Custom quest system, including daily auto-quests * Custom crafting system, which will continue to gain complexity * Several optional PvP modes: duels, player guild area control * Player-run shops * Private & Guild houses with multiple expansion options * Complex NPC companion system with follower gear saving * Server-side automation (triggers, macros, multi-line commands) * Complex character relationships and properties (bonding, solitude) * Graphic clients for iOS and the Web / Facebook * Graphic Web OLC for builders and web-based coding UI for coders

One of the top-notch "intelligent hack and slash" MUDs in production today, the game's main emphasis is on the open-ended hunt for artifacts. Enjoy exploring, solving puzzles, and mastering killing strategies with the help of other players or NPC's like necro undead, hired mercenaries, or monsters from the wild. All NPC followers are autosaved together with the player, one of many features that make the game perfect for casual long-term gameplay.

Game-wide quests by human QM's as well as a growing library of automated quests are available. In addition, many elaborate zone quests challenge the player's analytical mind before they reveal their hidden treasures.

We offer a relaxed RP-accepted environment. Our immos are cordial but strict, enforcing fair play and attending to everyone's needs (our support rivals/beats any pay-to-play game). Public channels are moderated, but there are many other channels where expression is free.

Limited PvP is allowed in an arena setting (both parties must agree to engage in a duel) or in certain PvP areas (by entering, you agree to the rules of engagement). PvP winners have a chance to gain trophies that can be crafted into useful items, and earn points for themselves or their guild.
