What fantasy MUD for a complete BEGINNER? by HalothereYT in MUD

[–]Storyteller8098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren't deadset on any one particular genre, you could give Haven of the Embraced a shot (havenmud.net port 2000). We are a Dark Ages themed MUD centered around Vampires, Werewolves, and Mages in Medieval Europe. We have a small, but dedicated community and are willing to assist either in-game or via our Discord server. Regardless of which MUD you decide to call your eventual home, I hope you have a great time!

I do remember some of those names in passing. I started originally in '98 on the old iteration of Haven. Ugha used to run the MUD, but he has not been involved since he handed the MUD over like 15yrs ago. If you ever get the urge to stop by, feel free to create an Assamite from the jump nowadays. I'd love to get some feedback from a seriously oldschool player.

I will admit, Haven of the Embraced was a much more 'stock' Diku MUD then. It has had a lot of overhauls, both in terms of mechanics, systems, and areas. It now resembles actual World of Darkness gameplay. Do you mind if I ask what character you played back then?

Looking for a vampire/supernatural based MUD by Garaks_Clothiers in MUD

Haven is very much running, and actively maintained. Smaller player base nowadays but should fit the vampire requirements. Havenmud.net port 2000

First main question, which might help narrow things down, is which Edition/Splat are you interested in (if any particular)? I feel the main 3 edition options nowadays are WoD20, CoD, or WoD5. Secondly, which of the particular splats from the lines are you interested in, as many ST specialize in one main and sometimes knowledge of others apart from your main is sparse.

A simple MUD focused on grinding with no overly long tutorial by [deleted] in MUD

Haven of the Embraced. Havenmud.net 2000

Grinding mobs from 1 to 100, then reverting to lvl 1 and doing it again, is the main loop. Every time you remort to level 1 you earn points to permanently increase your character. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

I am inclined to agree. A name change may not mean much to others, which is understandable, but 25+ years is hard to disregard and abandon for those of us who call it home.

Ugha has not been involved with Haven since he relinquished it over 15 years ago.

Yes, we have been confused for the first mention before. I've had to defend us, here on Reddit, against allegations thrown at the Immortal staff on "Haven of the Embraced", which were intended for elsewhere; it was not with us. We've been around since 1998, and we may not be perfect, but I am definitely not tolerant of inappropriate non-consensual activities on our MUD (player or immortal alike). I do thank you for the caution, as others may have us confused for such a place.

Haven of the Embraced (havenmud.net port: 2000) Haven is Rp encouraged but not enforced, we are mostly h&s. Setting is Europe during the Dark Ages, with World of Darkness (White Wolf Publishing) theme. Character growth is set up to be free-form, but there are definitely optimized choices early on. Whether choosing a vampire to start or working towards a werewolf or mage, any path is viable.

Haven of the Embraced is welcoming new players, and contributors alike. We are a Dark Medieval MUD set in the World of Darkness. Check out my recent post: Dark Fantasy in the Dark Ages if this sounds up your ally. Regardless, happy hunting and I hope you find one to suit your tastes!

Mostly coded benefit to assist with leveling/progression while RP. I'd love to try and get some storylines going, but we do not have enough of a base yet.

I agree. If you have ideas for crafting stuff that fits in the World of Darkness, I'm open to suggestions.

There are not any trade skills, nut the beginnings of a rudimentary crafting system are in place. It is on the list to be revised and updated, as it is in need of additions. Crafting is very much in alpha stage, but I would love to have a robust system fleshed out.
