The Beast Within

The Beast Within: Reloaded is a player-killing MUD built on the GodWars/Dystopia line, which traces back through Merc to the original DikuMUD. It keeps the fast, brutal combat GodWars is known for and adds years of its own changes on top. This game is a successful relaunch of the long beloved Unifexes "The Beast Within" in the early 2000's. Choose what you become. There are more than 20 playable classes, each with its own powers and fighting style. You can play a Demon, Vampire, Werewolf, Highlander, Drow, Monk, Ninja, Mage, Angel, Tanarri, Power Lich, Shapeshifter, Undead Knight, Cyborg, Giant, Spellfyre, Bandit, Cyclops, Grendel, Hadenman, Elemental Warrior, Dragon, Jedi and more. As you train, you unlock class masteries that set veterans apart from newcomers. Fight for status. When you beat a rival you can decapitate them and take their power. You can also settle scores in the arena or join a kingdom and fight for territory and dominance. Every fight is recorded in a fight database, so your wins and losses are on the record. More than combat. You can explore 117 areas, earn quest points from the Questmaster to spend on gear, and level up tradeskills inspired by EverQuest, such as butchering corpses for crafting materials. Polls and in-game boards let players have a say in where the game goes. What to expect: PK is part of everyday play, and you'll have to think tactically. The class balance is still being tuned, and staff work on the game actively. The community is small and competitive, with old-school MUD style and modern fixes. Pick your beast, sharpen your blade, and keep your head on your shoulders.
