One word. Unbelievable. 'Dreams' has raised the bar of mudding so far that playing limbo would only be difficult for basketball players. The first thing that caught my mind about this mud is the website/homepage. From there, you can read helpfiles and there's a newbie friendly new player section. Just about any question about the mud can be answered on this homepage. Anything from questions about the pluses and minuses of races and classes to maps of the areas and directions on how to get there. There's a list of all of the players, which some actually have pictures of the players, so you get the feeling of close relationships on the mud. Updates, rules of the mud, contact info.. it's all there!

Did I mention the clans? I haven't yet had the chance to join a clan, but there are currently 4 clans up and running. There is almost always someone on from each clan, and each clan has its own webpage as well. Each clan has its own benefits of joining and required levels.

Haven't even gotten into the gameplay yet, but so far I've seen no less than 15 people on at a time.. and the 15 people was around 3 AM Eastern Time (???How?). 'Dreams' has an unbelievable cast of immortals who have seemed to always be of service, and they are constantly online and available. The playerbase is full of great players willing to help out new players as well as serve as some great entertainment. Although, if you are easily offended, this mud might not be for you, otherwise, come on in, the fun is waiting.

From what I've seen so far is that there are some great quests such as elimidice and paintball etc. The quest token currency is used to calculate how much quest time you've put in, and several prizes for the tokens are available.

The 150+ levels leaves fun around every corner, never knowing what will happen next. This is all just from 2 nights of playing, don't be shy and come find out why 'Dreams' is currently the #2 ranked mud!
