Dawn of Ages is a great mud. It is very friendly and newbie helpful. If you are used to a Diku format mud, but your favorite mud went away or disappeared, then you will love this one.

Commands are the same as always. IE: eat bread, cast 'spell' target, get rope bag, exam rock, etc., etc.. It is a large world, set up logically. For instance, most newbie zones are near your starting point, higher zones further away.

On this mud, the designers want you to be buff. They want you to be tough. And they show that idea with loads and loads of really good equipment and weapons. Plenty to go around. But also some rare and limited. But plenty of those as well. If you enjoy mudding and want to raise a tough character to whip mobs, other players, or group with strong groups, this is a great place to have that kind of fun. I have played muds which only a few players could get really tough because equipment like + damage and hitroll was so rare, only the really high level players could attain them. This mud is not like that. There is plenty of stuff to get to make you a nasty fellow, or a great healer, of and nearly un-hittable tank. Try it out. It is a great mud.
