Adventures Unlimited (AU) is a friendly, roleplay-encouraged MUD for all ages. Although roleplaying is optional, the vast majority of our players choose to participate in the world of Tharel to some degree. AU is based on the ROM 2.4 codebase, but during its 9 years of operation has been customized and extended considerably. Our web site documents hundreds if not thousands of the code changes and additions made since roughly 2001.

Features are nice, but the people are the important part. AU is a close-knit community that has long prided itself on how we treat newcomers. We'll take the time to welcome you to the game and there's usually someone around willing to show you the ropes and answer any questions. AU ultimately thrives on a philosophy of mutual respect that just makes it a great place to play!
Again, the Days of Redemption are upon us! AU's premiere event returns after a long hiatus. DoR is a fast-paced, exciting contest to establish a pecking order among the clans of Tharel. Petition a clan now to join in time for this highly competitive event, or just come on out and help your favorite clan wrest idols from the clutches of their foes. Heats will be held on the last three Saturdays in November.
