Necromium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Necromium is a fantasy MUD that was established in 1997 as a derivative of CircleMUD. It was founded when its current owners, at the time players of another MUD called Medievia, got fed up with the direction it was going, and decided to make their own game.
In Necromium, players start of at level 1 of one of the four base classes: Cleric, Warrior, Mage, or Thief. As they play the game and gain experience (by killing monsters), they gain levels, and eventually reach level 33. Upon level 33, they may multiclass into a specialized version of one of the base classes. The specialization is determined by their original class. For example, a cleric who chooses to multiclass into a mage will become an Illusionist. In such way, they go through all four classes, and eventually become an Avatar of their original class. When they reach level 33 of the Avatar class, their gain of experience does not stop, and they are still able to gain character points used for training skills and spells indefinitely.
The MUD has many interesting features that make it stand out from other, similar games. For instance, it is divided into multiple continents, and players may travel by ship between them, and engage in ship-to-ship combat. Other interesting aspects to Necromium include an alchemy system and an overhead map.
