Looks goods offhand, but really ... it's just another rehashing of the mage, paladin etc etc etc etc common in fantasy.
There is nothing unique that's worthwhile.

Old guys who's been around since the telnet days of MUD/MUSH/MUSE (circa 1995-2000) would probably agree that they had a lot more different flavour back then.
One old MUD I used to play fondly was VikingMUD .... holy crap .. they're still alive!!!?? (http://www.vikingmud.org/) ..... anyway ... see the difference there?

Guilds. Different guilds have different unique abilities (I was Frost Guild member) . When you take this base concept, the possibilities are nearly endless. You don't have to compete directly with the current/next MMO that puts up mage, paladin ,etc etc etc. The core concept needs to be different enough, unique enough.

To see them preserve VikingMUD all these years is probably a testament that it was one of the best MUD during its days.
Will yours last that long?

That is a fair comment, will take that on board.

At the moment, my fingers are getting a little raw with the coding, but I have had a brief look at VikingMUD and do like some of the stuff!

Key things at the moment we are developing are, ironing out a lot of the bugs and trying to improve the User Experience.

Once these steps have been done, it will be back on the case with features!

Dungeons are the next thing, we just finished some of the basic faction stuff.

Also we now have werewolves and zombies as races a user can select. Currently working on Roleplay features now, so you can build up the history of your character and everyone can read your story.
