Dark Mists is an interactive MUD RPG, an Online Role-Playing Game with a medieval fantasy setting. Players from all over the world connect in real time and design characters to play within the Dark Mists world. Your character`s life starts as an adventurer ready to embark on a journey to discover the lands. Before you attain the ideal hero/heroine status, you will encounter other travelers in search of glory and adventure. You will also encounter a number of causes that you may support or oppose. Here in Dark Mists, danger lurks in every corner... be prepared to anticipate the unexpected.

Unlike most games today, Dark Mists does not rely upon visuals but rather upon words. Yes, Dark Mists is a text-based game. It is very much like reading a novel but with one major advantage -- you are the main character in the novel, and you can create any storyline you want in the medieval genre. The choice is yours! Pick your character`s RACE and CLASS. Do you want to be a sly halfling thief who gains his wealth by stealing from others or an elf-in-training to become a powerful wizard?

Perhaps you would like to be the most hated in the land, like a troll anti-paladin of war, a stealthy assassin whose alias causes everyone to quake in fear? Or, mayhaps you would rather be that noble and righteous knight of old, sworn to protect the innocent citizens of Thera?

Dark Mists offers everyone the chance to ROLE-PLAY in any style and in any fashion they wish, as long as it is within the rules and setting of the game. Keep in mind, though, that if you choose a not-so-common role, you must be willing to accept the consequences of your unique actions.

The landscape of Dark Mists is spread out over four known continents that are populated by eight large cities and towns. The WORLD of Dark Mists is called Thera. Some portions of Thera are tame and civilized, while others are dark and dangerous. Our best advice is to travel with caution as few paths lead to safety.
