I was introduced to Dark Risings five years ago by a close friend of mine. People don't understand how I can play an rpg without pictures, but I honestly don't have enough good things to say about this mud. Like any other place it's not perfect, but it's as close as I've been able to find - and I've looked.

Of all aspects incorporated into a mud I enjoy the roleplaying the best, and Dark Risings encourages player interaction as much as possible. You will find all kinds of interesting characters when you log and you don't have to wait until you finish levelling to find something interesting to do.

The staff is helpful if you ask the right questions. There are plenty of helpfiles to aid you through any confusion.

Any creativity could be put to good use here.
