Official Criterion MUD web page

Already a Criterion MUD player? Read the rest!

You will find no fancy HTML codes, no cool flash animations, no frames and no search engines. Just the basic, clear, precise information you need to make your stay on Criterion MUD easier and more fun.

What is my experience, you might ask?

Well I leveled a triple class character on Criterion from 1/1/1 to 26/30/28 in less then a week of non-intensive mudding (and to 51/51/51 in 3 weeks of mudding 2-3 hours a day). I was also a God on 3 silly muds similar to Criterion and 3 merc/circle/rom muds. I don’t know everything, but enough to put up a page ;)

This is NOT a newbie help page. I assume that you know all the basic commands of the mud and know your way around. If you do not know how to open a door on the mud, then this is not your place.

NOTE: The word "mob" is used here to mean "monsters, NPCs, etc. ...". It comes from the word mobiles, which is how the MUD code refers to them.

BEFORE BETTING YOUR LIFE ON THE STUFF YOU READ ON THESE PAGES, FOLLOW THE FIRST RULE OF MUDDING:

USE YOUR BRAIN!

And now for the good stuff!

Items (the stuff we all wanna know, and love)

Areas (places to go, things to do, mobs to kill)

Advices (even high level PC's can learn a thing or two) LINK DEAD - IF YOU HAVE IT IN CACHE, SAVE & EMAIL IT TO US!

Monsters (what to kill and how to avoid being killed by them)

Thanks to the Head Implementor, Belgarath, for allowing this page to exist and even correcting a few mistakes here and there.
