What is War of Legend?

Old-school text roleplaying, still going after all these years

War of Legend is a classic MUD (multi-user dungeon) — a text-based fantasy world you explore, fight, and grow in alongside other players in real time. No graphics, no client required beyond a telnet or MUD client: just you, your imagination, and everyone else logged in with you. The world is under active development, with fixes and additions going out regularly.
