Fate of the Republic A rich and detailed MUD set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. However, this may not be where, or even when, you think it is.

Fate of the Republic is based on the Star Wars universe, as you may have guessed. What makes this different from other SWMUDS out there are its features. They include a heavily modified and actively maintained codebase, and its community of players.

Players are encouraged to roleplay, and there is always plenty of help for people who are new to the Star Wars universe, roleplaying, MUDs, or all of the above. There are a multitude of worlds, systems, races, cities, ships and more to explore, but it's the players that make them come alive. Whether it's a Sith apprentice being chased through the streets of Naboo by Republic guards, or drunken engineers singing in the cantinas of Corellia, it's when players take the MUD and make it into a game that everyone has the most fun.

What does this translate to? More realism in the universe, which means more ways to achieve goals and more freedom in roleplay. The game is flexible enough that it will support the way I roleplay, and often offer up unique and unexpected solutions to problems. There is rarely only one solution to a problem, and different classes with different skills can be equally effective, even up against Force users. Getting the Force is pure chance, and this means that the numbers of Jedi and Sith more realistic.

What else can I say about Fate of the Republic? In this version of the Star Wars universe, no one has heard of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader or even Jar-Jar Binks. The histories of the galaxy are filled with heroic deeds and villainous acts committed by some of the most (in)famous players in the game. The best part is, there's no reason you can't be next. This is good incentive for me to get out there and be more active, and become notorious enough to earn my own place in history.

So come and try Fate of the Republic, and see what it's like for yourself. Find out what fate has in store for you, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

See you there!
