Then again, I consider Infinity to be overly ambitious, something that might easily spell it's downfall.

Armageddon is incredibly disorienting to the point where I spent about 3 hours figuring out how to get myself an axe and then find a tree I could cut  ;D I like it.

I'm thinking about Firan since I already have friends there

EDIT: Okay, grabbed a nice character on Firan ..my Armageddon character is dead from poison. And that's a fight I /won/ XD

I recommend Imperian.

Taken straight from the home page:

I don't have much experience with MUD's but there was a Wheel of Time themed one that I used to love to play, at http://www.wotmud.org/. I haven't played it for a while, so I don't know if there have been many changes since I last played, but it was quite fun. Channeler class was the most fun to play as, but really easy to die as one, esp if you go around telling everyone you meet that you are one, in which case Whitecloaks/Aes Sedai will hunt you down, kill you, and take your scalp. Alot of PvP, at least it seemed whenever I was playing. There's some sort of informal rule not to attack anyone below level 20, but regardless, I wouldn't recommend trying to chat it up with every shadowspawn you see, especially if you are walking around with good equipment.

My favorite is http://www.retromud.org/ .  Not much for PVPers outside of occasional no-death-penalty war arenas, no RP enforced at all, but a whole ton of races and classes, more than just about any other mud out there.  My characters include a werewolf abjurer (spiritual protection path, with minor Aikido skills too, not much healing or damage at all) who can also bite the heck out of people, and is also a shaman with a lot of neat flavor spells, transformation stuffs...  And a satyr mage girl who's currently a geomancer with a little bit of telemancer (disintegration and stone damage spells, gemcutting, slinging skills, etc) but who's shortly reincarnating to a lightning-based path (flight, interrupts) and taking some levels in bard and druid (druid so she can still use her sling).

It's heavily party-based.  You CAN solo a bit, especially at low levels, but you really want to get at least two other party members for most interesting stuff, up to eight people.  Some classes are specialized, others not, some are very high-tension and some are way more relaxed.

You've probably seen just as many banner ads for Retro as you have for all the Iron Realms games...

It's a lot of fun to explore new areas you've never been in before.  And there's a lot.  :)

I tried Retro, didn't like it too much. My favorite MUD of all time is still DartMUD.

Lol, I got bored of Dart after they told me to practice my skills by casting spells at an object. The only reason I play permadeath games is so that I don't have to grind.
