Description:
Realms of Chaos, also known as RoC, is an extremely challenging, thoroughly engrossing reality. From the moment you set foot in the Realms, you will be enchanted by the vivid, full ansi color descriptions, and the highly intricate, refreshingly logical and internally consistent structure to an extent which you have undoubtedly never before experienced. Realms of Chaos runs on its own machine and connection, and is incredibly well-balanced and fair. Anti-cheating rules are actually enforced. You can therefore be proud of your achievements on RoC, as people do not gain levels by exploiting bugs or imbalances. RoC is a challenging mud. Those looking for a place they can become powerful overnight will be disappointed. However, it is the perfect mud for someone looking to earn their levels, and to be able to take pride in making it to High Mortal, because it is not something just anyone can do. When you check out RoC for yourself, you will see a well developed fantasy world that has room for humor and parody. It is not just a mud; to those who know it, it is another dimension.

Realms of Chaos (RoC) is a MUD which has been in operation since 1994 and is now one of the largest and most expansive MUD's ever created. While environments are richly detailed and the theme flows seamlessly from one continent to the next, RoC's greatest claim to fame is the level of challenge presented to players. Among MUD players, the title of High Mortal on RoC is widely considered to be one of the most respected accolades one can have. Richly detailed quests keep those who are not interested in mindless hack and slash interested, while the gargantuan universe filled with thousands of unique items keeps explorers content. A fully-fledged weather daemon brings sandstorms to the desert, blizzards to the northern regions, and hurricanes into the coastal areas while magical tornados spin off from its wake. The astronomy daemon is no less intricate: a full canopy of heavenly activities await the players in cyclic, time-independent precision. The level of immersion is also very high: it is not unusual to suddenly find yourself caught in the middle of a invasion. Monsters can and do inundate the cities, ranging from pesky rats to bonefied titans such as the Sapphire Dragon. Realms of Chaos, while an older and more established player in the online gaming multiverse, continues to take the lead in both innovation and dedication of its players and staff.

This mud has inspired tremendous loyalty from its players and coders for its uniquely enjoyable system, which began as Nightmare eons ago but has developed into a unique game, while keeping fun Nightmare features such as Ansi color. We have a number of races, some common and others unique to our mud, each of which has its own abilities along with the stat differentials. We currently have six guilds, but plan to add at least two more in the near future. The game is a challenge, and there are well-enforced rules against cheating such that you can be proud of your accomplishments. Roleplaying is strongly encouraged: There is a great deal of unity among people of the same guild or race. Players can affect the game, such as our player-owned homes, and a player-owned shop -- and all of this is just a start.

Still in the "getting started" modebut certainly has a lot of potential.

Realms of Chaos can be a highly entertaining MUD for those that enjoy making friends or simply slaying monsters (and little girls, if you want). You start by creating a character which can be anything from a half-vampire to a giant or nymph, then go through some quick tips and facts of the game, get some gear from the charity room of the church and you're off. You can stay an adventurer and not become a true master of anything or join a class such as the Rogues, Rangers, Clerics or the evil Kataans who worship evil gods and control the dead. Combat is my favorite thing about this MUD. Unlike other games, you're not stuck stabbing a rat until you've gained eight levels. You can stab almost anything you can think of in the newbie forest! The number of animals and people you can try your hand at as a newbie is just overwhelming. I haven't moved out of the newbie forest yet but I look forward to meeting and slaughtering new things. The makers put a lot of thought into combat and it shows. ROC does have a variety of quests for both low and high level players but quests aren't really my thing and I couldn't get into it. There's only about 10 players online during the day but these guys are very tight-knit and extremely helpful to new comers. If you can't find what you're looking for in their extensive helpfiles, use the newbie channel and a couple of helpful souls are sure to help out. In this game however, roleplaying just isn't done. The closest thing I came to roleplay was when an admin sent an old man to tell me the game was shutting down by babbling about the world coming to an end. It says roleplay is accepted, but I'm pretty sure people would just look at me funny if I attempted it. The atmosphere is still mature and I haven't spotted any netspeak since I began playing. In my opinion, the only major drawback is that your equipment isn't saved when you log off. Your money is saved whether or not you bank it, but all your things are lost upon your return unless you store them in a locker, in which case they're safe until the game is reset. I've never played a game where my equipment wasn't saved when I logged out so I was baffled at first but I've quickly adapted and it's not such a pain anymore. This MUD is doing fine without a huge playerbase but everyone could use more friends, so come join us if you're looking for something different!
