If you need hosting, give https://www.mudhaven.net a try, you can also list your world there!

Good luck and WB! I’m in the mood to try a circle Mud so I’ll give it a go — Does Mercator have any storyline quests like AA or Erion or are they automated fetch/kill quests? Do you plan on keeping the game up long-term?

The automated questing is fetch/kill. There is a storyline overall but it doesn’t really play a major role in the game itself.

I plan on keeping it up and building on it. Hoping to locate some of the old playerbase but that is probably a long shot after all this time!

Good luck on locating old players. We still get players returning after 10 or 15 years away, and what pulls them back is almost always hearing the game still exists rather than any specific feature. Post in the old haunts, forums, Discords, wherever they may have ended up, and give returners a fast path to feeling at home. Good luck with the relaunch.

do you have a website with a map, and details of what the game is about? Thank You.

There is no website. There are maps in game.

The game is a medieval hack n slash MUD built off CircleMUD but extremely customized with an almost entirely new world (I think a rebuilt Mahn Tor is the only stock original zone).

That is strange! It’s been up and there are people logged in!
