Sentience is a heavily modified Rom/Diku based mud that features a
massive, 100% unique world.  Some of the key elements of the mud are:

* 11 playable races
* 12 mortal classes and 12 remort classes
* Hundreds of unique spells and skills
* Discreet yet extremely useful compass rose displays exits instead
  of a garbled exit line.
* Restricted player kill in three flavors: 
  * lawful, neutral, and chaotic
* Player run churches
* Gigantic virtual wilderness area
* Sail the oceans and engage in ship vs ship combat
* Engaging and immersive areas
* RP encouraged but never required
* Automated quest system
* Immortal hosted RP events and global quests
* Newbie friendly atmosphere
* Administrative staff are always willing to listen to player ideas,
  comments, or criticisms

This mud is built by people who are sick of the unoriginal, cliche
ridden, hack and slash muds that are out there.
If you're looking for a unique experience and a friendly
atmosphere, we encourage you to give Sentience a try.
