Asylum MUD is one of the most popular quest-orientated hybrids on the Net. Asylum has developed into one of the most advanced MUDs of its type - with an emphasis on playability and fun, and now more than 75 quests! Several custom subsystems provide the basis for Asylum's success including: advanced body combat against a range of AI mobiles; auto-regeneration across the virtual world; a unique mobile combat classification system in which combat depends on a wide range of mobile attributes and the SOAS object-based spell attribute system. Asylum also proudly boasts the invention of the DEFROB system - a unique concept in which individuals can gain more powerful immortal levels, by defrobbing to a mortal role and completing more quests.
