Play Aardwolf

Aardwolf is a unique free RPG (MUD) which has been online since 1996. This text based environment lets you assume the role of a character from hundreds of race, class and subclass combinations then interact with other players and the inhabitants of a virtual world.

Aardwolf Mud is based in the fantasy world of Andolor where magic is common and there are hundreds of exotic realms to explore. Aardwolf features a realistic game world with multiple contintents and real geography. Each area includes a real time line-of-sight overhead map to see other characters and points of interest around you.

You choose your race, your guild and your profession then the rest is up to you. You have absolute control over your character's actions and there are many ways to play the game. You can focus on gaining experience and levels, take part in hundreds of quests, solve puzzles, explore, map, play laser tag, play casino games for in-game currency, take part in our forums, compete with other players in player-vs-player combat and global quests, answer trivia, create your own private manor, experiment with hundreds of spells and skills and even, eventually, build your own additions to the world. See the Aardwolf Mud Features link for a more detailed list of game features.

For builders, Aardwolf features an embedded LUA interpreter allowing area developers to add atmosphere to their areas and create area puzzles and quests. See our building section for more information on the LUA integration.
