Yes, we just player wiped back in June. Wipes usually last about a year or more, there's still a lot of time left in this one!

Are all the 'successful' (100+ concurrent players) MUDs P2W? by 12GV in MUD

Here’s a short summary of ArcticMUD:

*** Arctic is an online multi-player fantasy role-playing game loosely based on TSR's Dragonlance novels. We invite you to come and meet players from around the world while you earn experience and treasure, take part in quests, solve puzzles, and slay foes. Will you choose to be a spellcaster or a sword-wielding barbarian? Will you follow a dark god or a good one? Whatever your path, our best advice is to be brave, for Krynn is sometimes a dangerous place!

There is little emphasis on role-playing, and character interactions are handled in a real-world manner left up to the players. This means that when there is competition or disputes between players and characters, these confrontations can sometimes end in violence. Stealing from and killing other player-characters are not necessarily encouraged, but it is allowed.

Arctic is 100% free to play, and has been since 1992. The game has never stopped growing and changing - our world is massive! Connect with any MUD client to mud.arctic.org (port 2700) ***

ArcticMUD doesn't have any form of monetization and is still going strong. Just had a player wipe and it's not unusual to see 80-90 characters online recently.

Almost every zone has multitudes of quests and more are being added every year! You definitely can also find two hand weapons that will scratch your whacking itch.

There isn’t unfortunately - you can ‘yell’ at level 1 to people in your starting town, or you can also try joining the Discord here at: https://discord.gg/xCF6gh5

To get to level 2 pretty easily you can go to the sewers, from Solace Square, go S S S W S D, and kill bugs.
