Inside Wheel of Time MUD
What it is
The Wheel of Time MUD is a time-honored multi-user dungeon. It’s an interactive text-based game that has been enjoyed for free by web users since 1993. It is the oldest and most popular online game set in the Wheel of Time world.
Game mechanics can involve strategy, teamwork, puzzle-solving, timing, and knowledge gathering; but what you choose to do is up to you. There are a wide variety of players that you may encounter in your travels, but nobody is putting you into a box. Fancy being a Channeler from the White Tower? Ta’veren from Emond’s Field? A bloodthirsty trolloc from Thakan’dar? You can be as many, or as few, as you wish.
The premise
At the dawn of time, a deity known as the Creator forged the universe and the Wheel of Time, which spins the Pattern of the Ages using the lives of men and women as its threads. The Wheel has seven spokes, each representing an age, and it is rotated by the One Power, which flows from the True Source. The One Power is divided into male and female halves, saidin and saidar, which work in opposition and in unison to drive the Wheel. Humans who can use its power are known as channelers; the principal organization of such channelers in the books is called the Aes Sedai or "Servants of All" in the Old Tongue.
