MUME is a free game based upon J.R.R. Tolkien`s Middle Earth, continuously enhanced since `91. Players can explore and live in this meticulously crafted world and join the epic War between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the West.

MUME is a multi user role-playing game based upon J.R.R. Tolkien`s creation, Middle Earth. The action takes place in the late Third Age, before The Hobbit and after the loss of the One Ring by Sauron. The key of Erebor was just found by Gandalf and all the epic tales narrated in The Lord of the Rings may take place.

MUME covers 20`000+ original rooms from the Dwarven Homes beyond the Gulf of Lhûn in the West to the fringes of Mirkwood east of Misty Mountains, and from the ruins of Fornost in the North to gap of Rohan in the South. Explore this meticulously crafted world where fantasy creatures come to life and where players may join the classic battle of good versus evil.

MUME VIII is written in C and in mudlle (a functional language that was developed in order to allow on-line extensions to the game).
