Description:
What is Blackfire? At the simplest level, Blackfire is a text based online game with a medievial fantasy theme. As a player you customize a character and enter a imaginary world, one similar to medieval Europe but with magic and dragons and demons thrown in for good measure. Players will enter the game as brave adventurers in search of adventure, create a character (by choosing class, a breed(race), gender, and name), and then begin the game by adventuring in the capital city of Talorien. During your adventures, you will travel among vastly different areas, encounter the monsters, slay dragons and meet people that inhabit these areas, and, best of all, compete with one another for equipment, superiority, and recognition. You will likely find that you cannot succeed alone and you must make friends, or at least alliances, to survive. Occasionally, you may require the assistance of a higher power, but the gods who watch over the world should not be called upon at a whim. Step inside, young adventurer, if you dare. Within these realms only your imagination is a limit. ** Currently looking for players to playtest classes/skills/spells/leveling/etc and provide feedback via ingame bug/idea commands and chatting with Immortals ** Many new changes coming and we'd love to have you playtest for us.

Blackfire is a VERY good mud, it has everything you would expect from a mud. Its currently being updated to version 2, which will add even more zones bug fixes and make it Better than it was before. With its medieval theme and fairly balanced 3 classes (except for sorcerer maybe) its the best mud i have come across. It is a PKing mud which maked it more interesting, but you can also explore the vast world and roleplay. I would highly recomend this mud to people. altho it isnt as newbie friendly as other muds, everyone will help you out if your stuck. www.how2bf.tk (help page) http://blackfire.winterdale.com blackfire.winterdale.com : 4000

I've been playing on Blackfire for a couple of years now and due to a little fallout a while back the playerbase is small now( usually no more then 10 people :| ) So i decided to write a review because even though there aren't much players on-line is enjoyed every minute i spent on Blackfire. What does Blackfire have to offer? Well, I'll tell u now, It's not for die-hard rpers. It's not completly hack and slash though either. The players we have are generally all enjoyable to play with and are willing to help new players become familiar with the game. What kind of features does Blackfire have? We have an ascii wilderness with over 4 million rooms for starters If travelling from zone to zone by foot or by ferry gets tiresome you can purchase a personal mount to get around. These range from winged oliphants to fierce dragons and they will get you there quickly. There are three classes: monk, sorcerer and rogue and after you complete them you can reclass only after completing a unique quest for each class. I believe Blackfire is a great mud to play and I recommend you to drop in and give us a chance. The current mudconnector listing has the wrong information so I'll add it here.

I've been playing on Blackfire for about 2 years now. Honestly, I don't even remember when I started. Throughout my time here, I've seen and gone through lots of changes. When I started, there was a few regular players and I quickly got to know everyone. The small playerbase was a big change for me because the mud I previously played had 400+ players on usually. I've seen the playerbase fluctuate some from 5 or so when I started to 15-25 players on and now back down to 5 or so. I don't want 400 players, but 25 or so would be nice. The current regulars on Blackfire are, for the most part, enjoyable people to play with. Enjoyable doesn't mean everyone's always nice as that would get boring. I wouldn't catagorize Blackfire as a 'pk' or 'roleplay' mud because it's much more then that. We have times when pk is the thing to do and others when we'll all get together and roleplay something. We even do a bit of socializing too! Blackfire has a lot of nice features to keep you busy. First off, there are only 3 classes here; rogue, sorcerer, and monk. The option to become a specialized 4th class is being worked on and will hopefully be a reality in the near future. (Right now our coder is working on rewriting the code to optimize it so the major changes are few and far between. For now) Another feature that I like is the ascii wilderness. There are over 4 million rooms that make up the wilderness to connect the areas of the game. (All areas are original too.) With so many wilderness room you may think that travelling the lands might be long and tedious. Why walk when you can fly? Players can purchase personal flying mounts to carry you around the wilderness. There are currently 30 unique mounts to choose from. Levelling on Blackfire isn't too hard but it does require some determination as on any mud. There are 40 levels per class and the option to reclass when you reach the end of your current class. If you decide to reclass it takes a little work on your part. There is a unique reclass quest for each class and, while I've only completed one because I became immortal before they were added, I can tell you they are not easy. If you complete all three classes you become an immortal (not the same as a god). All of the areas on Blackfire are original, as I mentioned previously, and well thought out. We have about 35 areas right now but they are all of quality. There are some areas that are so massive that you will have to go through many levels before you are able to see it all. The assortment of xp and equipment areas is pretty balanced. I mentioned previously that all the players are enjoyable to play with and they are. If you come in, free... Read More
