Deeper Trouble opened its doors in the early 90's. It was started by a handful computer-science students from Aalborg University in Denmark. Note: The language spoken on Deeper Trouble is English. "Artesia" (as the world is named) is fantasy-based. It is themed after J.R.R. Tolkien's tales of Middle Earth, though it does not strictly adhere to them. Despite its age, Deeper Trouble is constantly being improved, and new additions and changes come often. The game mechanics are very much our own -- custom, and nothing is off-the-shelf -- promising a very refreshing experience with plenty of things to discover. The world is large and varied, and in many cases a labor of love. The different areas and puzzles are very distinct, and sometimes there is more to an item than meets the eye. Regardless of skill and experience, there is always a new challenge waiting. Some players compete for rank, attempting to becoming the best of their kind for a particular choice of race and guild. Others take it easy, exploring the world at their own pace and soaking up all the little secrets that Artesia truly has to offer. The choice is yours. Many new friends have been made! We have had real-life gatherings where players and wizards have meet and exchanged gossip, face to face, over a mug of dark ale. :) Hopefully more to come. On behalf of players and wizards alike, Welcome to Deeper Trouble! ^[1]

This mud was started back in 1990 by a few hardcore computer science students. Hundreds of players have become immortals and devloped the mud further and have expanded the place to include several guilds, races, player owned merchant guilds and a very varied selection of complex weapons and armours. This is no default DIKU style mud. It is complex by nature and thus very challenging and exciting. The atmosphere is relaxed and players tend to chat more than play at times, because everyone gets to know each other fast and enjoy each others resence. The mud was initially based on RR Tolkiens books, but has expanded with a lot of new areas over the past decade. Deeper Trouble has 1 administrator, a council below him/her (currently him), and below that a lot of enthusiastic creators. We are hosted by http://www.demon.net/ and they have provided us with a very fast box, so we are lag-free. Welcome to Deeper Trouble - bring your friends! -Morgoth@DeeperTrouble. ^[2]

An LP-style mud, set generally in the world of J.R.R. Tolkein, Deeper Trouble has existed in one incarnation or another for over six years, and has an impressive array of areas and wizards to show for it. ^[3]

LPMud set in a Tolkien-style environment. Really cool i keep comming back - although the wizards are pretty strict about roleplaying. Do not step much out of character. Quests are good and monsters are tough, at least some of them *grin* ^[4]
