Dark Wizardry

Founded in 1994, Dark Wizardry is a true multi-class MUD allowing you to level in all 5 main classes simultaneously while specializing in extra-classes throughout your adventures.

An Epic Medieval Adventure

Dark Wizardry is a true multi-class MUD allowing you to level in all 5 main classes (Warrior, Thief, Mage, Psionic and Cleric) at the same time, while specializing up to four times throughout your adventures in extra-classes such as a backstabbing Assassin, undead-conjuring Necromancers, peaceful earth-loving Druids, or many others!

You can explore our enormous world of over 100 custom areas, with almost no stock zones, completing countless quests and collecting artifacts and equipment from the furthest corners, and you can remort as one of 45 races, allowing you to unlock even more character levels, areas and equipment.
