The World of Pain

The World of Pain is a heavily modified Multi-User-Dungeon based on CircleMUD 3.0. It is still a growing MUD, and the code is still under construction. The bugs are being worked out, and new features are constantly in the works. Current features include:

Unlimited mortal levels, and never-ending adventure.
A sophisticated PK system with several PK area types.
An structured clan system with ranks and noble titles.
Periodic quests with monetary and equipment-based rewards.
A steadily growing, friendly character base.
A hardworking, dedicated immortal staff.

To Play:
Use a mud client, such as Mudlet or Tintin++, or just a plain telnet client. We recommend Mudlet as we have graphical integration with the mud and their mapper as well as tabbed chats and status bars. If you have a mud client, you can connect to the mud at WORLDOFPA.IN, port 6969
