About a year and a half a go, maybe even more so than that, a good friend of mine talked me into trying a text based game. Of course, having never played a MUD before I was hesitant, I much preferred consoles with their pretty pictures to text. She made it sound quite intriguing though so I succumbed and tried it out, the MUD I joined being Adventures Unlimited of course.

Quickly I was turned off by everything, all the commands simply confused me, but every thing got smoothed out thanks to the players and the MUD’s staff. Everyone was quite patient with me and more than willing to offer help and advice for the newbie me.

Soon enough the commands became like second nature and then the actual reality of the game came into play. To me it was actually better than just about any rpg on any console; the only real limit that your character has is a growth limit of level 100.

I could waste the rest of my space on here telling you about all of it's vast features and it's wonderful players and staff, but I won’t. You should really just go and find out for yourself, and hopefully you’ll become just like me; addicted to AU and still going strong.
