Materia Magica is a text-based MUD with a rich history and a multi-layered living world called Alyria, where every choice leaves a mark.
You enter a fantasy realm torn apart by ancient conflicts, lost technologies, and magic spun out of control. The world blends medieval kingdoms, shadowy laboratories, floating islands, and parallel planes of existence.
Choose from over a dozen races — from humans and elves to draconic and non-human lifeforms. The class system is unconventional: begin as a warrior, mage, or cleric, and evolve into advanced paths like necromancer, ranger, paladin, alchemist, or archon.
Combine skills, change specialties, and shape a truly unique character.
The storyline is non-linear, and quests demand attention and logic. With PvE, PvP, clans, arenas, large-scale events, and a rebirth mechanic that preserves progress, the game offers deep and unpredictable experiences.
No graphics. No handholding. Just text, imagination, and the will to survive in an unforgiving world.
