Midgaard by SmartMonsters

Swords! Dragons! Castles! Magical fireballs! Inns with ale! Retro gaming at its most retro!

Midgaard is our homage to the text MUDs of decades past. Running on the TriadCity platform, its an emulation of the classic DikuMUD adventure tradition circa 1994.

Midgaard is a labor of love for us. Its where many of us first encountered MUDs and were astonished by their engrossing play and extraordinary potential. Its full of clever ideas, many of which became standards as the tradition evolved. Most importantly, its fun!

Its completely FREE to play, is blind-friendly, and has more women players than men. Best of all, its friendly! For twenty years SmartMonsters has been free of the flame wars, misogyny, and mean-spiritedness prominent in some other environments. Even our bulletin boards are safe! Visit us today - we cant wait to meet you!

As a member of the SmartMonsters universe, Midgaard is one linked World among others. Your characters can move freely between Midgaard, TriadCity, Dungeon, and future Worlds all with quite different "laws of physics". Meet you there!
