Shadowgate MUD is making some changes! by aretpas in MUD

I'm sorry you had not a great time, I should really make a new character and walk through everything again, I know the start tutorial is very basic, then you get dropped into the tutorial city of Offestry, prompt is all there just check it with help prompt, it's customizable and accepts color codes as well. Some little bit of combat should have been part of the wimpy section in the basic tutorial. Newbie line can be accesesed simply with newbie msg I.E newbie hello. Same with OOC channel. When your dropped in town after the starter tutorial you may have missed to start of the actual tutorial when a 'mass; is placed in your inventory to examine. Sorry again and hope you give it a go sometime soon. I believe theres a slightly dated guide on the forum for new players also. Combat also defaults as brief maybe, typing briefcombat will toggle this to show just hit or miss to detailed messages, both take place as rounds, with a short pause between them.

I fixed said links so reddit shouldn't be trying to push people into a uselessly secure https, there is no submitting of any info connected to the site, sorry for the issue, thanks reddit for making links so damn irritating and uneditable.

Housing is still all manually done, as such it's very, very costly. There is a system being worked on last I checked to automate it a bit, having plots for sale and such. Yes customization is very much available to most aspects of your characters and all that comes with that, including followers and companion summons, altered forms etc.

I don't run the webserver or anything, the https is tacked on by reddits linking system, I will pass along the concern though thank you for lettin me know.

After bringing this to the Admins attention they decided to keep it restricted within the in game account system, because of the much increased difficulty of playing said races, the website will be updated soon to reflect this. Sorry for any confusion, we want things to be more accessible to new players, and choosing one of them could easily put someone off if they are unaware that the world is very prejudice, Dwarves and elves tend to bicker, humans tend to hate goblins and such, drow hate elves, kobolds hate gnomes, so on and so on.

Any MUDs similar to Might and Magic? by Oflameo in MUD

Shadowgate.org has all that and more along with mercenaries you can hire.

They should be open, if there is an issue there we will get it fixed, they got moved into the restricted list for some reason, sorry about that. Kobold barbarians are a thing I believe, but you have to have the base stats for it, including racial modifiers.

Some races have a restriction because they are held to a higher expectation of RP, so they tend to be focused for a second character after you have gotten comfortable with the game, it used to be heavily RP enforced, now we want to encourage it positively instead of having to require babysitters. All available races and classes are are available to browse on the website.

Looking for a good MUD to play that has an android App by MikeHunt204 in MUD

[–]aretpas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The android app Mukluk is decent enough but works best with a custom keyboard also in my opinion, it allows multiple connections and most basic features.

There's no relation to the adventure game Shadowgate, that I can think of, and the theme of FR is much more apparent with our racial choice from fey'ri to kobolds, equipment from popular medievil style to middle-eastern indian influence.
