DurisMUD: The Land of Bloodlust

Duris has been running since 1995, when the original Sojourn MUD split in two. It has always been about one thing: a permanent racewar between the good and evil races, with full player killing almost anywhere in the world.

Full wipe: Wednesday 28 October 2026

Server opens at 06:00 UTC (09:00 GMT+3). Every player, veteran or new, starts again at level 1. No gear, no levels, no guilds. The first kills, the first artifacts and the first racewar victories of the new era are up for grabs.

What you'll find

• A two-sided racewar with a wide range of races and classes on each side
• Full PvP, where players decide who dominates, not the code
• A huge world of zones, quests and exploration
• Ships: sail, trade, and sink other players' vessels
• Crafting, guilds and guildhalls
• Powerful artifacts that must be fed on the blood of enemy players

What's new

Duris now runs on a rebuilt C++20 engine with TLS, GMCP, MCCP and browser play, and the codebase is open source on GitHub.
