Here is a very old thread: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=2647.msg43430#msg43430

To get an idea of it.

As far as the MUD goes. A heavy rp mud, with a huge world and tons of crafting. Can build houses, live as a nomad with a tent or build an underground city (think its possible, said you can dig tunnels) and it has quite a good crafting system. Seems pretty survival based at start.

Also tons of lore to find. Which to find out about the world or races you have to find out in-game, as no info outside it.

It has PvP BTW, so heads up. Population is also very small. It is pretty empty, which is sad, as mud is amazing. Says its beta also, but it really isn't. One of those endless beta games.

Anyone want to join in? My character is a Bramen named Laenaya. From my understanding Bramen are more peaceful and like to discover things. As far as I know anyway. And I am a female character, because my RP sucks on males. I RP way better as a female character for some reason.

Seems interesting. I love MUDs, but something in my mind goes 'No you suck at RP don't go there' when I see heavy RP. I'll try it out, though.

[Vendayn]

Well, no RP has actually happened in my week of playing. Needs way more people, sadly. So hopefully this takes off.

But by heavy rp, you don't really need to be that great. Just stay in character. There is an ooc channel though. But no in-game stuff can be talked about. They want people to find out on their own or in character with others.

The accents are fucking hilarious~

 > say RESPECT MY AUTHORIT-AH!
You exclaim "RESPECT Mah AUTHORIT-AH!"

Speaking of which. Each race as their own language.

Well, that is unlucky. Chased by bobcats, stuck in a cabin and bobcats waiting outside. Been waiting over 12 hours for them to leave. Two left, but two are outside the door.

Dying of thirst, and there is a river right outside. I just can't get to it lol. So I may die of thirst when water is right outside lol.

Had my first player interaction in the mud. Today quite a few people were on. By chance I came upon two people hunting by their home. Even though my rp sucks, they didn't care. Ooc chat seems a bit leniant too, so rules must have changed a bit from before. I actually had a lot of fun, but it was a tad lucky.

So, I started playing again. This never really took off when I last posted. I think it is a great MUD, but guess a haven and hearth/Unreal World style MUD might not be the most popular theme.

One person said on another forum the game looked abandoned. But, they don't seem to update the website/forums very much and they aren't used much either. However, in the game there is a nice amount (but small) playerbase. Like today (Sunday, so would be more crowded) there was 32 people on in the last 24 hours. I asked a question, and people responded really quick. It isn't the biggest MUD, but the people are really nice.

My character was never deleted either, and haven't played in many months.

I ended up in the same area I left from. And...found a small village setup and looks abandoned. It hasn't been maintained lately. It has a cottage, wood lean-to, a hut and a tent...all with everything we could need/want. Tons of storage space, baskets/sacks etc. Along with an anvil and a ton of blacksmithing stuff. It is far from wood though, sadly...but doesn't seem to get dark around there. Its right by a source of fresh water too, which I fished out a catfish from.

Death by thirst is inevitable. Death through bobcats is not as guaranteed and far more noble glorious!

Says its beta also, but it really isn't. One of those endless beta games.

Now if more company could be more like them, not be affraid to keep beta as a warning instead of releasing their alpha 0.31 as release candidate.... Gamer world would be soooo much better in my opinion.

will def give this a try since it's been pointing out.  Like I said in another thread, been playing another MUD(ArcticMUD) which is based off of Dragonlance, but was just talking to a friend I play with a week ago how I'd like more survival and crafting aspects and while you can do clan halls in Arctic, there's nothing for personal housing.  Will make another post with a character name once I get things rolling

I am sorta close to the starting city and coastal village.

My character is Vendayn, mostly a wilderness man avoiding city life. My other character got eaten by bobcats lol. I like fishing, so that is what he does. And lumberjacking/woodwork.

played around a little bit in the starter area but a few things I couldn't get past.

Why is there no syntax at the prompt?  I can understand that it's an RP heavy MUD so maybe no direct hitpoint numbers and the like makes some sense, but things like the exits listed and such really bothered me.  If there is a way to turn these on that'd be much appreciated.

No short-hand on commands?  Inv for Inventory, Eq for Equipment, etc...were always pretty standard in most MUDs I played growing up, but this one makes you type out the whole word.  Again I can understand it's an RP MUD, but these things seem a bit anal.

A bit late to respond, sorry. As far as I know, there is no health syntax. Have to type "health" to see current health. Not sure short-hand for it. But, as far as n/s/w/e and nw etc...there is an ascii map that shows where you are. But, they should list exits anyway. You can go on almost any terrain though, so it isn't entirely needed. Can climb mountains, swim and all that stuff...but in a city and what not it would be useful, yeah.

As for commands. The game is definitely lacking in "help" information. But...to open inventory, it is actually you have to type "i". So there is short-hand...it is just different and weirdly done.

I think the game is still being developed, and it doesn't really have a large playerbase nor funds to actually do a more robust system like other popular MUDs. But for me, it is a huge con that "help" is very lacking,

Game is still good, community is awesome. But, yeah...it isn't perfect.

But, seems playerbase is slowly rising. As today (as of this post) there are 3 creators on + 14 players. Most I've seen on at one time.

Oh god I have no idea what I am doing.

I am apparently a sneak-thiefy goblin with a side of woodcrafting.  I have nnoooo idea how to get out of Forest Heart.
