Let me introduce you to an addiction called Avatar. It's located at avatar.outland.org 3000. Cache this:

Avatar is a unique experience that instantly grabs your imagination, floods your bloodstream with adrenalin and provides you with endless enjoyable hours filled with adventure, thought provoking conversation, arcane magic, mysterious skills or non-stop action as the mood strikes you. It's a friendly world filled with helpful players and IMMortals.

Avatar is a highly modified Merc 2.2 MUD. We have 50 Mortal levels, hundreds of Hero levels (a Hero is something less than a God, but much more than your run-of-the-mill Mortal), 20 IMMortal levels (including Guest IMMs, Retired (social) IMMs, Working Gods, Coders, Administrators, and our amazing IMP: Snikt). As you enter the Twisted World of Avatar you have a choice of seven classes (Monk, Ranger, Mage, Warrior, Cleric, Rogue, and Psionist)) and 12 Races with specific strengths and weaknesses you exploit in order to tailor your character to suit YOUR personality.

You say you get excited over wildly different and powerful skills and spells? Avatar has well over 200 for your dining and dancing pleasure.

Looking for a REALLY big world? Avatar has over 100 Areas (many original), comprised of more than 2600 Mobs, nearly 3000 objects, and almost 7500 rooms. And the best part of our world is that the emphasis is on realism, organization and QUALITY from our gifted team of designers.

Avatar also has a beautiful COLOR option that makes the game come alive! You want player configurable options that govern what happens when you slay a deserving mob? No problem... We also sport unique commands for scanning your immediate vicinity for...well, anything; tracking cowardly mobs and far more that is better experienced than described.

Are you blown away by fantastic code that provides amazing realism and game play that leaves your mouth dry, your blood pumping, and your senses on overload (I could swear I actually heard that mob's dying gasp)? Wanna get Into the game without investing days, weeks, or even months learning confusing idiosyncracies that nothing to the game? AVATAR has the friendliest indoctrination system you'll find (NOT a revamped Mud School); and enough gut wrenching action to cause the most jaded purist to drool a little.
