Re: LFM: Manual Combat req.
Hardcore roleplaying muds tend to have little emphasis on combat, and vice versa. But if you like the IRE muds you could check out other muds on the Avalon "tree". As well as its spinoff (Avalon: the First Age), Avalon also inspired Terris, Evarayn, Akanbar, Elysium, Orone, Cardea and Achaea.
And while you're presumably familiar with the official IRE muds, they also inspired other muds such as Ilyrias, Elvenblade, Maiden Desmodus and Lithmeria.
While most of those muds seem to have died, some of them are still around - and if you search you may find others with a similar feel.
You could also look at Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. I believe DragonRealms even has a separate server dedicated to roleplaying.
