'''AVATAR MUD''' is one of the oldest [[MUD]]s (Multi-User Dungeon or Domain or Dimensions) having been in use since August of 1995. It is a multi-player text 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 discontent. A loyal playerbase and strong staff (Immortals and Angels)have seen the Mud remain stable, however, and the playerbase rapidly builds up after each change.  Many players see the ever-changing nature of the Mud environment to be a positive aspect of the game.

==Tiers==

Characters start as ''newbies'' at level 1, 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 gains sublevels. Because of this, a hero 7500 character could be level 51, but suband a hero 11 character are both level 5001. After 'hero' sublevel 500, the player has the option of morphing to a 'lord', which is level 125 (the hero tier stops at hero 999, afterwhich further levels will automatically attempt to morph). After sublevel 500 of Lord, the player can become a Legend, which is level 250. This is the newest tier, and was added in late 2005.
