Hi.

Awesome news.
We know Erion very well, here indeed we have This page about the game on the db.

My character was Tanquest, however after the massive revamp of quests and the starting area that begun the game, I sort of lost track of my progress, though as I am a fan of classes like monk I should probably just start a new character.

It's good to hear more missions have been added to the game, since I confess whilst I really enjoyed the first 12 or so levels, once the missions dried up and progress slowed down, matters became a little harder to concentrate on.

Any plans for adding more missions or activities into the game to vary matters a little?

Hello Tanquest,

It's nice to hear that you are still around!

Yes, our highest priority right now is to add new areas and missions. Kextra is working hard to build a new tree elf-themed area for higher levels and I'm helping add missions to it. There may be new lower level areas since your last visit such as The Rose Forest, Undersea Shipwrecks, Crow's Bay, and a few others which have new missions that you may enjoy! We will continue to add new areas with missions working our way from low to high levels. Faerah and Jax are new builders who are working as a team to create a new level 19 to 23 area as well!

A new activity on the horizon is equipment crafting. We are getting close to completing the outline for how we want the crafting system to work and then I'll start coding that.

I'd love to hear your feedback on the new Monk class if you do stop by and create a new character.

Cheers,
Aelyn

@Ciri, there are two types of quests in Erion.
There are "quests and expeditions" which are randomly generated, and there are missions which can be done only once.

Quests involve killing a certain npc, or finding a given object in a location in a short time limit and you get quest points back. expeditions are similar to quests but involve  several mobs to kill and a reward.
There are then global quests, when you and any other players of your level compete to kill a number of mobs in a short time, which are great since they're actually possible to do well in, unlike in other games that employ systems like that where newbies end up in trouble.

there are then missions which are more like quests in other muds, when an npc asks you to do something, kill some creatures, find an object, solve a puzzle etc, which usually have multiple quests and more tangeable rewards, . Sadly there are fewer of those, though as has been said more have been added, and those that are there tend to be pretty awesome to do (this is one game where running the mud school and discovering all the quests is actually fun).

In addition, the game has a lot of really cute little extra systems, for example, a Colosseum you can fight in to earn tickets, chocolate bunnies to find which give you extra points, runes, tattoos and sigils to come acrss, a scrabble tile game where you get awarded for finding letters around the game, gods to pray to each day for rewards  etc.

In general Erion has a lot of stuff to do, my only problem is that when I played the stuff to do wasn't quite as evenly spread between levels, and I was sort of stuck for new  between levels 13 and 20, though I suspect had I persisted a bit things would've evened out again, indeed since I was multiclassing that made progression slower and likely if I tried a single class character I'd have gotten on better.

I also like the abilities in Erion, since this is one mud where all the attacks aren't the same and gaining new abilities really does give you new things to do in combat, not just tougher weapon skills, or swapping out typing "kick" mid fights to typing "bash" instead or the like.

I'll also say, the community is one of the most friendly I've seen, I particularly like how the game actually rewards different styles of players and has different houses to appeal to those styles, EG a pvp house, a house devoted to combat, an explorer's house and even an alchemists house for those who want to play with potion making, plus the accessibility is awesome, EG there is an "oscan" command which will let you just review the objects in neighboring rooms so you can complete those object quests even faster.

In general Erion is one of the best hack n slash muds I've ever played, indeed I'm sort of talking myself into going back and giving monk a try .

Sadly no soundpack i'm afraid.

Well, I've started playing this, and I'm still level 1, but it's not bad. It looks very similar to aardwolf but with a much smaller player base. I'm going to keep playing though and see how it is at later levels.

Hello everyone,

This is a short message to let you all know that, who ever has any knowledge about soundpack making, if you make one, Aelyn is happy to share it on the mud's website.
Thank you

hi,
can someone help me with better armor and weapons? i am level 6 necro now.
my name ingame is atlan.

Okay given the game another try and created a new monk character, called Thile.

I confess whilst the cave of beginnings is great and honey bee village is a really interesting area, I do miss all the missions at the old mud university, especially those that showed off very unusual aspects of the game, since it seems now your more thrown into things straight off and asked to pick bits up as you go along.

On the pluss side I've already found some new missions todo, although I'm getting a little annoyed that my last two expeditions asked me to slay a small boy, who apparently is in a beach somewhere in honey bee village, which I haven't been able to find, indeed I think I've explored about 140 rooms out of 150 .

I've also not done as well with armour, and need to find that command to check level eq, though fighting at my level is okay as always and I should have quested up some ways in a bit.

Thanks bratd, I'll have to hunt around for that wall you mention, oh and Yeah, I forgot about the free buffs from the temple.

I will check the equipment search thing.
Again, this is unfortunately why I slightly miss the mud university, because they had a rather more extensive set of newbie missions and tasks which required you to find out about that type of thing, though of course I'm still level 1 and haven't finished even some of the basic missions i've got, like the one to complete twenty quests or finish an expedition (I keep geting stumped on expeditions by that damn beach ).

Maybe its just me not being into the constant quest style, but I'm having trouble getting into this mud. It isn't bad, but I seem to prefer a heavier rp side, rather than just questing.

I personally have never played a roleplaying MUD so I'm not familiar with what those kinds of MUDs offer, but I'm interested in implementing more features for players who enjoy that style of gameplay. I've been slowly compiling ideas but would love to know what kind of features you enjoy having as a roleplayer to see if it's something I could add!
