When I started playing on Eternal Fantasy, I was new to MUDding in general. It took, I suppose, more time for me to learn the MUD than the average newbie. But it was still enjoyable and something compelled me to stay. I've been to other MUDs since then (for various reasons), but I always go back to EF. And I've heard the same from others.

You start with the choice of race (dwarf, elf, halfelf, half-lunar, human, kelban, moogle) and gender (don't think I need to explain that one further). From there, you can get multiple classes (depending on your base stats) and start levelling and class levelling your character.

There are also quests which I found interesting and I'm not a fan of quests really. Of course, I can't elaborate because that would be qinfo.

When there are enough players, we will have live quests again. It's one of the things we all enjoy the most.

Not to mention the newly added chocobos. It takes a little bit of time into the game to actually get one of these, but it's worth it. You have to raise them well, and this affects the outcome for each individual chocobo.

You can have three characters in this MUD (only one online at a time) and you're allowed a lot of customization with them as well.
