introduction

a brief introduction

Ronin is a heavily-modified DikuMUD (what is a MUD?) that has now been in existence for about 15 years. We have beautifully crafted 100% original areas for all levels with plenty of puzzles and intrigue. For those who enjoy change and get tired of a stagnant MUD, Ronin offers week to week change - we're in a state of flux, as any MUD that claims to be worth a player's time should be.

Features include:

• 10 player classes, 50 mortal levels
• 5 subclass levels, 2 different and distinct paths to choose for each class.
• 90 unique areas to explore
• Multi-playing, up to 3 characters at once (5 on BAM Weekends)
• Autoquests - the more you learn about the mud, the more points you get, to trade for enhanced stats or faster subclassing. 
• ANSI color, fully customizable 
• Good balance between what's available to tintin-style multi groups and what's available to solo players.  
• Perhaps not innovative, but at least more powerful engine than the original Gamma DIKU, allowing for more complex control underneath the hood (i.e. providing those higher level intrigues and puzzles). Sure gamma does this, but Ronin's is cleaner.  
• Active, loyal player base.  
• Lottery, Auction Hall, Ranks, Clans, Deputy System, Immortal-run quests, Chaos Night, BAM Weekends.
• Online editing for those who like to build.
