WotMUD has been online for as long as WoT and mud have existed. Which is quite a while. It is therefore a pretty cool deal when this established and mature game releases a new major version of their software. Here's the info that we were sent.

The Wheel of Time MUD ( http://www.wotmud.org/ ) released WoTMUD IV.5 this week, the highlight of which is a complete revamp of the rent system legitimising storage for a rainy day, and incorporating player and clan rent allowances.

 

This is the first major code release by us in about four years; the previous version (IV.3) was successful enough to have peaked at 230 simultaneous, unique players. The coders working on that version have since left us - we're now appointing new coders, so expect great things to happen. Some other things in the works:

 

o Stats revamp

o Skills revamp

o Classes revamp

o Game of Houses

 

The Wheel of Time MUD is best described as a quirky mixture of RP and PK. The PK presence will probably frustrate hardcore mushy role players, and the role play setting will probably annoy the hard core pkiller. But, if you like a bit of both and like a busy MUD which follows Robert Jordan's books, not to the letter but to the spirit, then WoTMUD maybe a MUD worth trying for you.
