| Overdrive - MUD Description | |
| Overdrive is one of the oldest LPMuds still in existance. It is a huge medieval-fantasy world that first came online in 1991. Since it's inception, the game has grown into a vast world filled with unique creatures, powerful weapons, and a highly dedicated player base. Some of Overdrive's features include no level caps, a complex combat/skill system, 11 major quests and dozens of mini quests, four classes that allow for a wide variety of training styles, the opportunity to create characters in multiple classes, unique monsters and areas that encourage partying, and a dueling system that allows non-permanent player killing. Wars are probably the most unique feature on Overdrive. Players are notified in advance when a war will occur, at which time the game is rebooted and players engage in a non-permanent free-for-all for bragging rights and a possible spot in the coveted hall of fame. Wars test players' character training, knowledge of the game, ability to work together, and strategic capacity. While players are very serious about their adventuring, the amount of silliness on Overdrive is almost legendary. It pioneered the idea of year-round snowball fights, which combine with pies in the face, the occasional flying cow, and a mage spell (singalong) that has been known to cause sudden outbursts of singing and merriment. New players will find the help files, along with the Newbie Academy, very helpful. Players are always willing to lend assistance, so do not be afraid to ask. Deadly combat, friendly players, and a heavy dose of goofiness combine to make Overdrive one of the most fun places to play. Shift into Overdrive, we'd love to have you. |
