Not aMUD, but it's a MUX.
At the Crossroads. More info on their (well written) wiki at atcmux.wikia.com
I've been playing there for a while, and the community, though small, is very friendly and the staff are extremely, EXTREMELY open to feedback. Note, it's pure RP, scenes, poses, character development and al that.
I'm on there with a few characters and for some reason, I'm all but convinced somebody I've been talking to on there is, too. I won't name the character, but.....I'm fairly sure they're from here. I know another forum user is, too.
Pros:
Friendly community
Staf have worked tirelessly to make things accessible
Easy to learn and players wil help each other out OOC
Dedicated playerbase
On the fence:
Theme specific characters
Depending on where you are in the world, there's times when people aren't so active
Cons:
Waiting to get approved. However, you can test RP while you wait
Staff are VERY detail oriented and make you think about things. Example
Frank pages: I've been reading your app and I have questions
You page Frank with: GO on, I've got mah notes up here
Frank pages with: Okay, why would a police officer need your guy to pick somebody out of a lineup if they got his ID?
You page Frank with: Okay, a few ideas. 1. The ID has the name or photo taped over. 2. The ID's illegile or stolen. 3. Drop the ID thing. Whichever works best I'm fine with
Frank pages: Also, I'd rework the apartment advantage to have more info
You page Frank with: I've actualy got one written up. I just need to add the info in for it. Anything else?
Frank pages: Car payments. You're looking at more han $850 a month to insure a classic Mustang
You page Frank with: Ah but I've found sources that did cite $750-900 for insuring a Mustang, a 68. I'd say if you guys are fine with it, fudge it to $800 a month with a bigger initial payment to cover it, say....few months in advance>
From long distance, Frank nodss
You page Frank with: There we go. Now to figure things out for my vamp. Oh this'll be fun
Also, the playerbase is amazingly good to talk to, theyd on't mind you pausing between poses to ask questions or make smartass remarks
OOC: Marius seriously wants to pull off a T-shirt with him faceplanting and Faith standing nearby casually
OOC: Faith Lehain dies laughing
OOC: Marius isn't far behind. Gravity...that just happened.....yah
Or this
OOC: Prudence Halliwell says "You may want to edit"
OOC: Marius says "Okay gimme aminute to redo my pose a second, yeah you'e right. I'll repose
OOC: Tinkerbell nods
OOC: Marius is pretty sure vamp senses would let him spot Tina from a ways away. Actally, given her bright clothing.....he thinks even a blind man would have no trouble spotting Tina xD
OOC: Tinkerbell laughs
OOC: Prudence Halliwell arches an eyebrow
OOC: Marius raises palms. Is still working on a pose.....no, autocorndog, no!!
OOC: Marius says "It changed public to...removing the L. Argh!"
OOC: Marius facepalms.
The RP itself is very well written,depending on who is writing it but acros the board everyone tries their best which is all anyone can ask for. It's high quality and fun, with a laid back atmosphere.
I know it's not a MUD, but come try it out.
