"Any EverQuest MUDs out there?" - well I built one.
Over the years I've seen this question come up on r/MUD quite a few times.
"Are there any EverQuest MUDs?"
For the last few years I've been working on Beyond the Void, a free MUD that's heavily inspired by classic EverQuest while adding its own ideas and plenty of quality of life changes.
My goal wasn't to build just another fantasy MUD. It was to capture the feeling of exploring classic EverQuest in a text world—as faithfully as I could while still taking advantage of what MUDs do well.
Some of the things you'll find:
- EverQuest-inspired races, classes, spells and zones
- Multi-classing with up to three classes
- Multiple active pets at once
- Rebirth system
- A modern fast-travel system through the Void that cuts down on endless running
- Custom quests and tradeskills that support long-term character progression
- Built-in support for Mudlet, MudVault, MUSHclient and qMud
The game is completely free (no paid perks whatsoever) and fully playable. It's been under active development for a few years and continues to grow every week. If you've been one of the people over the years wishing there was an EverQuest-inspired MUD, I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback. There's also room to help, if you are a MUD developer.
