Real gaming started with MUDs so we’re bringing a new genre of gaming to the world with the foundation and strength of a MUD.
This is a single-player game where you are the Hero of your story, but also where some of your actions (quest completions, rogue jobs, trader contracts, other things) have ‘echo-effects’ on everyone else's game. For example, your game economy (items appearing for sale, or being sold) depends on your and other players' actions.
Simple & complex combat system (you can’t just hack and slack, unless you massively overpower your foe).
Magic, Prayers, Sword dances.
Fighters, Mages, Rogues, Clerics, Traders (farmers, as a job, not a class).
Crafting (alchemy - potions, poisons, oils).
Level with experience, with class, with skills.
Turn-based – So you can get up and turn the cooking off, see to your child, or answer the door, with no risk to monsters (or other players) ganking you or killing you off.
Character sheet with all your details and more.
Inbuilt mapper, auto-nav, journals, atlas, bestiary, more.
Type all your commands, or use buttons for some commands.
No servers, no p2p connections, this is done via blockchain wizardry.
No servers/p2p = no server or game shutdown, ever. You could still play this game in 100+ years’ time.
We have built the foundation of worlds yet to come. Do you want to be a part of it?
We are looking for Closed-Beta-Testers to help us bring this forward to the next stage. As a tester, no money is needed, even if it were, 10 pence could last you months. And there are large starter areas where nothing is needed at all. For those curious, an example in-game fee is getting past the guards at one of the towns, it costs roughly 2/1000th of a penny.
A message for Creators – If you like the game after your beta-testing and you are interested in creating your own areas for other players to visit, explore, solve quests, etc, or just leave your permanent mark on the world (you can even add ingame payments for other players to visit/access your house/dungeon/village/whatever), then let us know, we will be looking to add a small team of content creators (you do not need to be a coder, templates are provided, integration is done by us).
If you have questions, ask away.

You might be asked questions to make sure you're not a bot.
(because someone is bound to ask - Is this AI? - No and yes, 99.9% backend human mind/design and coded, front end is human design & coded with AI help, multiple devs involved, coded in c++).
