MorgenGrauen

MorgenGrauen is a native German LPmud. It was founded in 1992 and has been prospering since. The world features an original fantasy setting with many facets. The 13 domains form a big world with 18000 rooms to explore and several thousand NPCs. You can choose between 8 races and 13 classes (guilds). Advancing is done through a combination of exploration points, experience points, class skills, finished adventures and some more. The levels are not limited, current maximum is about 210. After becoming a high level player it's possible to become a wizard and add your own imagination to the game. We are especially proud of attracting a number of visually impaired players who very much enjoy playing a text based online RPG. Thats why we have an option to turn ascii-graphics off. Multiplaying is a bit restricted and scripting is discouraged.

>>> MorgenGrauen <<<

Du verlierst die Besinnung...

Du tauchst in einen Strudel bunter Farben ein.
Ein kleiner gruener Steinbeisser erscheint.

Der Steinbeisser sagt:
  'Willkommen im MorgenGrauen.'
  'Dieses Mud befindet sich irgendwo in Deutschland.'
  'Bei groesseren Problemen kannst Du Dich an den Mudgott'
  'Zook wenden oder auch eine Email an die'
  'Adresse "[email protected]" schreiben.'

  'Wenn Du nur mal reinschnueffeln willst, so nenne Dich "gast".'

Der Steinbeisser warnt Dich:
  'Wehe, Du faengst an, andere Spieler anzugreifen.'

Der Steinbeisser verschwindet wieder, und Du wachst in einer anderen Welt auf.

Wie heisst Du denn ("neu" fuer neuen Spieler)?
