the site

This is the third version of the Dark Pawns Player Page, created in April 2004. This site was built with XHTML1 standards in mind, using valid CSS2 for the layout and PHP for the template. The goal is to have a unique and informative MUD page with resources for not only Dark Pawns, but MUDs in general. Here you will find helpful articles to guide your character to success, logged battles, funny quotes, equipment stats, and much much more.

Dark Pawns has too many unique featues to list here, but this should give you a brief overview of what to expect if you are thinking of playing the game.

Dark Pawns is 100% rent free, just quit in your Temple to save your equipment.
Dark Pawns runs on a 30-level plus remort class system.
Six initial classes, plus Six remort only classes with new skills and abilities!
Vampirism and Lycanthropy for high level players!
A player racial system that actually means something! Includes special abilites, bonuses, race languages, racial hatreds, and more!
Dark Pawns features a world based upon realistic terrain, instead of areas tacked on to one another in a random fashion. The world is unique and truely massive, stretching across two continents and oceans.
A custom mobile AI that makes the mobs in the game more interactive than any other mud out there, and allows for in game quests, interactive combat, and player conversation with mobiles.
In the spirit of ‘party-based’ systems like Ultima and Final Fantasy, Dark Pawns encourages you to use up to three characters simultaneously.
Because Dark Pawns strives to be a ‘realistic’ dark fantasy mud, Player Killing is allowed, but we must stress that we are not a PK Mud.
Magical Tattoos, Talking Weaponry, and other very cool things.
Dreams and Nightmares
Advanced magic system with chanting, rituals, talismans, artifacts, and a ton of other neat stuff!
‘TAG! You’re it!’, Capture the Flag, and other annoying player on player games.
Always, 100% Dark Pawns original Dark Fantasy areas. No exceptions.

added a home link back to dp-players.com in the forum menu, a vote link for topmudsites.com and a page generation time script in the forum footer, and also added a photo album capability to the forum as well.

this thing is pretty cool. you can upload, view, rate, and comment on photos. you can even have your own personal gallery. I’ve copied the photos in the player pictures section to the forum gallery, and am in the process of making it so that the actual player pictures section of the main site will display the exact same information as the forum section (rating, comments, etc).
