TeraMUD, also known as Arcane Ages, is a multi-user dungeon — a world you explore and shape through text. It offers many races and classes, a vast map of zones, a living questing system, runic magic, warring clans, and a staff of immortals who tend the realm. All of it is 100% free — no subscriptions, no purchases, no ads. Press Play to enter from your browser with Arcana, the realm's own client, or point any MUD client at teramud.com 4000 and begin.

General Rules

1. Players of all ages pass through — keep public gossip civil.
2. No multiplaying: don't run two characters from the same address unless two real people are at the keyboards.
3. No spamming. Spammers will be dealt with, one way or another.
4. Don't beg for rules (realm-wide gameplay changes) to be turned on; the immortals enable them when the moment is right.
5. Savor the nostalgia, and avoid stepping on toes.
