RealmsMUD is a large and popular combat-oriented MUD, with about 5,000 rooms and counting, full of magical forests and mysterious caverns. The Web site has some helpful suggestions for new players which makes RealmsMUD a gentle testing ground for first-time MUDders. There are always plenty of players online, sometimes reaching over a hundred in the early evening, ready to answer questions and help new players mid-slash. Newbies can also join up with parties of more experienced players who can show them the ropes and the finer points of slaying orcs and moving corpses. Although RealmsMUD is combat-oriented, it's also got a healthy element of social interaction, especially with the large player base. - T.H.
