'''AVATAR MUD''' was a [[MUD]] (Multi-User Dungeon or Domain or Dimension) that was in use between August 1995 and July 2009. It was 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.

There is a hierarchy within Immortal ranks, with the Implementor, Snikt, being the final arbiter.

Avatar has a specially designed Mudschool to assist new players.

Due to the high costs of keeping the MUD running and Snikt's involvement in other activities the decision was made to take Avatar offline. On July 15, 2009 Avatar was finally taken offline. The game was taken offline with little to no announcement 
to anybody except to high-ranking players (the Immortals). Snikt has saiannounced that Avatar may be temporarily brought online for a "Good-bye Ceremony."
