I just celebrated my 6-year anniversary at Adventures Unlimited. I have tried other MUDs, but none of them offers nearly as many of the features I enjoy at AU. Some of these features include:

-A friendly playerbase that is ready to answer any and all questions thrown their way. When you create, you are greeted by many players, and often Immortals, all encouraging you to ask questions.

-RP encouraged status allows for a couple general OOC chat channels, with a global IC channel explained through the use of enchanted mirrors.

-An RP-enforced, optional PK system. Players are not forced to join the player killing system, but if they do, they know that a team of Immortals is making sure other characters don't go around murdering people for OOC reasons.

-An indepth mythos that has impacts on the current state of the world.

-A medium-sized player base of around 25 players at peak time allows for characters to become well-known legends, remembered even after their deaths.

-A complex system of religions based on the Gods of the mythos.

-An elected, character-run government.

-A complex repair/crafting system.

-Customizable equipment, which you can make to suit the roleplay of your character.

The list of features goes on, but I'm running out of room. The main thing that I love about AU is the playerbase, which is dynamic, friendly, and close. I have made many friends on AU over the years, and I intend to make many more in the future. Stop by and visit us some time, you'll be welcomed.
