Welcome to Mirkwood. Mirkwood is a text-based non-player killing multi-user dungeon (MUD). Originally brought online in 1995 by two college students, we have been continously online since that time. We are loosely based on the Lord of the Rings books, but have expanded beyond that theme and include areas based on Star Wars, Rocky Horror, Paintball, Willy Wonka, and many many others. We have currently over 90 areas that you can explore.
We have 91 standard levels, but also have a concept called remorting. We have around 90 different skills, and well over 200 spells that you can master. You can be one of 8 races (Human, Dwarf, Elf, Giant, Shade, Hobbit, Treant and Orc), and one of 10 classes (Warrior, Thief, Mage, Cleric, Templar, Druid, Knight, Assassin, Warlock, Ranger).
We have player homes which allow you to store many things and often run quests that provides prizes you can use within the game to help you do more throughout our realm.
We have tribes and clans which allow you to join with people with similar beliefs, races, classes, religions etc...
