LegendMUD is a rich landscape based on a heavily modified version of DikuMUD. LegendMUD first went public February 14th, 1994, and has operated continually since that date. For the past 14 years, Legend has expanded both in physical size as well as consistently developing unique features that set it apart from the vast majority of MUDs available.
LegendMUD has also continued with the same theme for these last 14 years: it is an environment built to give life to the legends and myths of mankind's history. LegendMUD is divided into three eras of history: Ancient, Medieval, and Industrial. Within each of those eras exists dozens of interconnected areas, each displaying a rich tapestry of legend and lore. Dozens of quests are sprinkled liberally throughout LegendMUD to allow players to travel between the three eras as well as hundreds of quests that range from simple to epic in nature.
Each of the eras contains over 15 unique areas. These can range from Imperial Rome to Feudal Japan to the Russian Revolution at Petrograd. Every one of these areas is carefully crafted to be unique yet still fit into the overall landscape of LegendMUD: NPCs based on actual historical figures; scores of carefully designed and environment-correct items, equipment, and food stuffs; and rooms and quests written to fully immerse the player into those localized legends.
LegendMUD features a 'classless' skills system, free-forming clan system, player housing and equipment customization options, optional playerkilling and roleplaying, an account system for multiple characters, and a staff that is constantly involved in making the game a welcoming and entertaining place to play.
