What is Alter Aeon?
What is Alter Aeon?
Alter Aeon is a Diku-like multiclass mud written entirely from scratch. It has a huge custom world of over 25000 rooms, and has been open to all comers since 1995. The userload ranges from 20 to 100, and building positions are open to experienced players. Player killing has several levels, including arenas, temporary pk, and permanent pk for hardcore players. The equipment, spells and skills are well balanced.

Advanced and new players are both welcome. New players will find an extensive support structure of Avatars, low level areas and quests specifically designed for newbies, and extensive on-line help and FAQs.

We have also worked hard to make sure that advanced players aren't left out. Most of the content in the game is designed for high level players, and there is a world-wide waypoint system to aid in reaching far away zones. We also give players more advanced controls than most muds, including built in aliases that save with your character, while control-C can be used to halt executing aliases and regain control of your terminal. We also natively support variables and variable substitution in both regular commands and alias expansions.
