Rev 2. I've incorporated some of the changes suggested by Dervish. Added the word "MUD" for seo (I don't know what other words/phrases to use as search engine flags). Bold words/phrases throughout the normal text would be linked to helpfiles...immortals link to "wizlist", artifacts to "items", areas to "areas", etc. Changed some wording. I didn't intend for this to be a replacement for Kastellyn's front page. Instead I was shooting for a pick-apart-able group of paragraphs that we can collectively dig through and maybe find some combination that works.

I have the html skills of a spider monkey and don't have the time/desire/care to edit formatting any better right now.

Are you looking for an immersive, medieval fantasy multiplayer roleplaying game? How about one with that perfect blend of adrenaline-pumping PlayerKilling and awe-inspiring RolePlaying? You’re standing at the gates of The Carrion Fields.

By what name do you wish to be mourned?

Developed, maintained, and played by avid gamers and roleplayers since 1994, the Carrion Fields MUD has evolved into a virtual world unlike any other. From the finger-trembling chase of the deathfull PlayerKill to the palm-sweatying anticipation of the deepest Exploration - as long as you enjoy in-depth, interactive RolePlaying with other players worldwide, there’s a place for you here.

And, it’s completely free.

Roll up a new character and choose one of 16 completely different, tightly balanced adventure classes. Pick your race from 17 options – some standard fantasy fare, and some very unique to our world. With the morality, ethos, religion, and cabal choices available, you’ll have almost infinite replayability, with a new gaming experience every time.

You need not worry about stagnation – most characters will die permanently when they have sustained too many deaths to mobs and other players (around 250 hours is typical). Though, if you’re crafty or hearty (or cowardly) enough to survive the brutal warfare of Carrion Fields, your character will eventually die of old age (650-900 hours, depending on race). Thanks to the turnover of permanent death, you’ll find players of all skill levels playing characters throughout the 51 level progression to Hero.

New players are always welcome at Carrion Fields. The vast majority of our playerbase is mature, highly competitive – and dedicated to making Carrion Fields an enjoyable experience. Our immortal staff has more than 30 members, all of whom are volunteers, donating their time and talents to making Carrion Fields a fun and unique experience for all of our players. We have an average of about 45 players on at any given time, with strict rules against multi-charring and botting – every player you find online is active.

So connect to the Carrion Fields and get started today.
