Overview

BatMUD is one of the earliest LPMuds and has been online since April 1990. It is run by a Finnish non-profit association and offers a large medieval fantasy world with many races, guilds, skills and spells to combine.

The game is known for a steep learning curve and a lot of freedom: characters can focus on combat and min-maxing, exploration, or trade and merchant play, and the world includes player-built content and a player economy. Selling characters or gear for real money is not allowed.

BatMUD itself is free with no subscription. Players create a character on the website and connect with any MUD client (bat.org, port 23) or with the official Batclient, which is sold on Steam for a small fee and runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.
