'''AVATAR MUD''' is a [[MUD]] (Multi-User Dungeon or Domain or Dimension) that's been in use since August 1995. It is an online multi-player text-based computer game that combines elements of role-playing games, hack and slash style computer games and social instant messaging chat rooms.

Originally based on [[Merc (MUD)|Merc]]/[[DikuMUD]] code, Avatar has been highly modified in the years since. Changes to areas, races, classes, equipment and other factors of gameplay have occurred, often resulting in player (dis)content. A loyal playerbase and strong staff (Immortals and Angels) have long seen the MUD remain stable, although player numbers have been decreasing over the past few years<ref>[http://www.topmudsites.com/cgi-bin/reviews/robboard.cgi?action=display&num=7385 TMS review] by the creator of Avatar, Snikt, confirming the player decrease.</ref>. In May 2008, a Publicity Team was belatedly formed to help increase player counts, which have plummeted steadily since 2005.

==Tiers==

Characters may choose to start as ''newbies'' at either level 1 (where they start in Avatar's Mudschool) or level 2, and continue up the ranks by gaining experience points, and ''levelling'', or reaching the next level. The first tier comprises levels 1-50 and is called the 'low mortal' tier. The second tier starts at level 51 and is called the 'hero' tier. At this point, level 51, the player stops gaining regular levels, but gai(contracted; show full)
