The pk List
Dimitri J. Langston-Wiebe
THE | To have a new mud put on the list, have an
| / imp or god submit the needed information to:
/----\ |/ Dim...@Krypton.Mankato.msus.edu
| | |\
|----/ | \ Feel free to send any corrections or
| recomendations about curently listed muds to
| LIST me, and I will do my best to improve the list.
Notes on the list itself:
The 'pk meter' is a number from 1 ('We hate pk, but some scum of the earth
do it anyway') to 10 ('pk or die').
The 'difficulty' is a number from 1 ('On my first day, I immorted') to
10 ('Nobody has ever gotten past first level'). This number is supposed to
reflect the difficulty 'absent pk'.
I feel the rest is fairly self-explanatory. *smile*

base code: Vanilla Diku
exp for pk: 'We don't use experience, but I'd say yes.'
quotation: 'Was that a player? Good, maybe he had something cool.'
Original world. Lack of exp-- utterly skill based. Mounts and wagons.
Bartering with storekeepers. A semi-realistic 'feel'. Focus on role-play
as opposed to power-play environment.

difficulty: 7 'Probably not the easiest mud on the net.'
base code:
exp for pk: not yet *wink*
quotation: 'Raid my clan house and I will tear out your lungs!!'
Last Outpost is a full multi-classing mud. Skills improve with use, and
deteriorate without it. Clans are instituted. You are a 'non-pk' till
you enroll into a clan. Items break. Entirely original areas (even the
city) and items. A strong following of players.

quotation: 'Stay away from Rob and Fast!'
Medeivia has instituted a structured pk'ing format. Most areas are not
'pk areas' however a few are. These areas are either neutral (pk without
consequence) or chaotic ('true' pk). Medeivia has clans, houses, ansi color
capabilities, and tries to maintain a 'family atmosphere'.

MissionMUD

difficulty: 5 'Not too easy, not too tough.'
base code: Circle 2.2
exp for pk: yes 'You get 20% of the victim's exp.'
quotation: 'Shoot & Loot.'
Mission is a fairly new mud (as of today, Dec 6). It is still 'wide open'
to new players, and does not have an established group of power mongers.
There are rules to pk. Most people pk for equipment or exp as opposed to
vengeance.... so far.

exp for pk: yes 'It's good exp.'
quotation: 'To pk or not to pk.... that is the question.'
There are some safe rooms, where even pk'ers can't attack one another, and
there are some UNSAFE rooms where even non-pk'ers *can* attack one
another. Few players take the option to pk-- this is not a bloody mud.

quotation:

good (vigilante pk). Stats are 'purchased' with exp. The areas are
a mix of stock and original. pk'ing newbies is _heavily_ discouraged
and will be punished.

which requires a boat to cross, a skill-based character generation,

ThunderDome
cyberspace.com 4444
198.145.8.11 4444
pk meter: 5 'Depending on how you treat others.'
difficulty: 7 'We don't give nothin away, but you EARN a lot.'
base code: 'Heavily modified Circle & other original stuff.'
exp for pk: yes 'Mobs and players are not treated too differently.'
quotation: 'Why did that ranger call me an asshole?'
ThunderDome is a Diku based on Circle code. All areas, mobs, items, etc
have been written from scratch. You will not find your favorite areas
here, but we have a lot of nice and not-so-nice surprises. Mortals take
care of their own problems - we hate lawyers, politicians, and whiners.
****************************************************************************
To all:
Contact me to change the address of a listed mud, inform me of a typo, or
to generally aid me in improving the list. Also, please feel free to
offer new quotations for your favorite mud. I will try to change the
'quotation' occasionally.
To imps:
You have the last word on your mud's entry on the list. I will make a
maximum of 4 lines of descriptive text per mud. Contact me if you would
like this text altered in any way.
