Wow, what a mud! Foxmud is jam packed with original areas, concepts, mobs, eq and ways to play! Fox has over 8,000 rooms, spread over 4 known continents, with a huge array of mobs from rats to the kind that sneeze and kill you. Fox has a large playerbase overall, with immorts and lords that are willing to help newbies all the time. There is perpetual progress being made on improving the mud based on player feedback as well, with a new area being implemented every couple months, and constant little tweaks. One of the tweaks the gods are currently considering whether to add support for MXP as well.

The Fox community prides itself on not flaming people, not pwiping, not pkilling, and making a fun inviting environment for anyone across the world! Gameplay consists of having four classes (mage, cleric, thief, warrior) that can be leveled indepentdently of each other, based on your original decision of class order. You progress on a timeframe as you see fit, as no one has any schedule for you and your character never gets too old to fight.

I've played a few muds and looked at a few more. This is by far the richest mud, with the nicest people I've found.
