Accursed Lands (AL) is a free MUD that has been online since 1996. It was founded by six former DartMUD associates (5 creators and 1 long-time player) who wanted to make a new mud in Dartmud's image with a more flexible codebase. Over time it acquired a theme and vision of its own, but it still retains many of the characteristics and some of the fundamental philosophy of its parent mud. It runs on the MudOS driver and uses a highly modifed Lima Mudlib. Accursed Lands was developed as a RPI (role-playing intensive) MUD. In accordance with this, the game's rules and game-mechanics place a strong emphasis on roleplaying over combat and powergaming.AL is virtually all original. Its theme could best be described as low-fantasy gothic horror set in a post-apocalyptic world with a dark-ages level of technology. Players are allowed only one character at a time, and expected to roleplay this character to the best of their ability. It is considered cheating to exchange information learned while playing a character in the game by any out-of-game means.
