StickMUD

You are about to enter a world where imagination is stronger than graphics. StickMUD is a classic text-based universe that has been alive and thriving since 1991. An immense continent, Tristeza, awaits you, filled with dozens of unique locations: visit human cities and dwarven settlements, explore the dark towers of necromancers, and venture into strange lands inhabited by mutants and ancient giants.

Your journey begins with choosing from twenty races: a proud elf, a steadfast dwarf, a daring goblin, or a mysterious troll. Each race grants you distinct strengths and weaknesses that shape your adventures. From there, you join a guild and master a profession: from mage and warrior to bard and ninja. It is the guilds that define your playstyle—from cunning shadow strikes to the thunder of magical meteors.

There are no traditional skill points here. You grow stronger by using your abilities. The more you practice a move, the better you become at it. The world is filled with events and challenges: battles against monsters and other players, festive events, treasure hunts, and clans that unite players under common goals.

For players with visual impairments, a special accessibility package is available—developed by one of the players for use with the TinTin client or for beta testing new accessibility features in Mudlet.
