                          PERILOUS REALMS

                         (a Diku based Mud)

 Is now accepting applications for Gods, Creators and Play testors.
 Now before you go oh boy a free god! or anything else like that
 there are a a few restrictions/things you should know. First off
 If you apply for creator positions you MUST make an area or areas
 totaling a minimum of 500 rooms to keep your god and you must be
 creating during this time not BS'ing with other players or gods
 all the time. If your applying for a God position you must tell
 me what experience you have with Dikus and why you want to be a
 god. No one will be given a level over 2004 to start with. Play
 testors are easy almost everyone who asks for the address will be
 allowed to play test (we do want to keep a maximum number of people
 on at a time in case something does go wrong to make it easy to
 track down). Lastly and most importantly you must have or be willing/
 able to get an account on an Oregon system (the reason being we are
 only allowing connections from oregon at this time, this will change
 sometime during the fall term). I can help get an account on a system
 here but the accounts are not free (they are a darn good deal though).
 I CANNOT give you an account here because you cannot telnet here unless
 your in oregon already (we wont accept the connection). As a side note
 PDX has some places that wont connect for some reason.

 Ok now on with why should I want to play this mud.

 - 2010 levels the first 100 are very easy to get, this makes for some
   interesting characters.
 - a Dual alignment system, a "true" alignment and a "current" alignment
   your current align will slowly change your true align.
 - Special powers/abilities for some class's that are in what YOU choose
   as what you want your alignment to be (to recieve the powers), this is
   related to god worship.
 - online world creation and zone creation. mobs and items are almost
   ready to be put online also.
 - new rent/save format
 - more extra ablities for items, special process's for items
 - many new class's (some are: avenger, barbarian, ninja, illusionist)
 - many new skills to go with those class's
 - new spells we have around 200 now and are working on about 100 more.
 - lots of new commands some other muds have some they dont.

 - LOTS LOTS more to much to go into just come and see. These are light
   highlites of new things we have done/are working on.

 We are still under test mode so strange things may happen but we dont
 expect to be deleting the player files anymore. We have installed a
 completly rewritten player save and it is very stable. The official
 public nontest mode opening will be sometime in the fall.

 If you are an old creator on Deths mud (before we came up with a name)
 and you want your position back (54->2004 now) and you can meet the
 requirements I will gladly give you back your position.

 If your interested please E-Mail mohrc@jacobs.cs.orst.edu with a subject
 line of MUD (this is a test of how well you can follow instructions),
 I will ignore all posts requesting information.

 Also note that I posted this with such a large distribution because it is
 possible for you to access us from anywhere in the world if you get an
 account that you can ask me about.

 Sorry for such a long post.
