I've spent years wading through various codebases and tinkering. I recently decided to set down some legitimate roots and create my "dream MUD", and I'd been working on customizing a stock ROM for several months. Somebody nudged me toward tbaMUD day before yesterday, and in that time I've managed to replicate every single thing it took me months to achieve on the other codebase and then some. I can't believe how well documented everything is. This has basically been MUD Christmas.
Seriously, you guys are awesome. Just thought you ought to know.
Great post, you are welcome. Appreciate everyone's help spreading the word, a lot of unnecessary suffering happens when trying to start a MUD from an old and unsupported codebase.

I felt the same way after I chose TBA, and haven't looked back. It's absolutely my favorite, and in the mud discord channel I tell everyone this is the right codebase to use.
Will you stand against the coming Storm? After the Breaking: STORMRIDERS MUD - atbmud.dune.net port 4000
Yes tbaMUD is pretty flexible if you get creative and spend enough time studying it. One experiment I did was doing a levelless system which seemed to work out well (quite different from the stock circle). Not to mention the amount of help you can get working with it is great!
That's the direction I'm hoping to go into as things develop - levelless, but retaining classes. Remind me to pick your brain about how you went about it!
