I'm not positive this is in the right category: it might need to be moved. In the meantime though...
I'm sure some people here have heard of the Empire mud codebase. For those of you that have, the new version is out and has a very impressive player base with a new set of features.
For those who haven't. Empire mud is a game that doesn't follow the idea of most muds. You do play a single character of course, but it's not so much hack and slash. Imagine a browser game like Travian or another empire builder, except on a mud. Players are dropped into the middle of the wilderness and from there, you begin to specialize in skills and build yourself a city. When I say wilderness, I mean it. You need a hand axe to chop wood? Chip two rocks together and make one. Need a weapon? Chip down an axeblade and make a spearhead, carve a handle and make a spear. Eventually this leads to a variety of character types, including the warlord, the empire designer who build everything from the grannaries to the barracks to the sorcery towers, and even less common types such as the assassin, the druid and the artisan, who crafts the empire's weapons, armor and tools.
More specifically, this mud caters very, very much to those here who enjoy crafting, building cities, empires, and so on. It also has rp for those with that bent, as well as diplomatic relations, trade and of course war. There's pvp here for those that want it, exploration and just about everything in between.
Empire mud is in beta mode, and just went up about a month ago. Despite this, the player base is already around 50, and empires are springing up. The mud was not created with any preexisting cities, so everything has been built by players. On that note, the economy is not fixed, and makes for some very interesting commerce. You can mint coins, but a hated enemy might not put any value on them. You can trade in solid gold bars, but who's to say how much they're worth?
Finally, this mud is very screen reader friendly. I myself was a part of the accessibility design decisions in the early Alpha stage, and so can attest that the mud staff here is very accessibility conscious.
Come give the mud a try. If you join, send either Ragnar or Sevrior a tell and I can give you some starting tips. Also, my empire is always looking for recruits, and we have high places for you to go.
