I started playing SWMud (Star Wars MUD) back in '99 when I was around 13 years old. Back then I thought it was the coolest thing since sliced cheese. It had great people, awesome gameplay, amazing balance, and an active wiz-staff who were churning out quality areas/etc non-stop. Unfortunately it had some hiccups back in 2000 or so, when the High Mortal Quest (the quest that gains you prestige and skills after lvl 19) was closed. Originally the players were under the assumption that a new quest would be out within the year... then it was next year, then it was a few years... finally, after eight long years... SWMud has a new HM quest and is therefore complete.

Don't get me wrong, the game will keep being added to by the wizstaff as they're working on areas right now. But the lack of HM Quest meant that NOBODY (who wasn't already HM) could gain those special skills after level 19. Many players (myself included) decided to level above 19 simply for the Hit Points and the joy of something to do again. Now that the quest is back many players have gained High Mortal status and we're once again able to use those awesome skills gained at levels above 19.

Please come check out SWMud. It's got awesome content, great people, a newbie friendly atmosphere (with newbie helpers, a MUD school, low-level exp'ing areas, etc) and finally an HM quest so that you can take your character to NEW HEIGHTS! (Also, PvP is a blast. Some of the most indepth text-based player versus player combat I've ever experienced.)

We need fresh meat!
