Aardwolf MUD is a long-running text-based MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) with a persistent world, released in 1996. While niche, it remains one of the more active MUDs due to a loyal community and continuous updates. However, player numbers are modest due to the genre's age and obscurity, with typical daily active users likely in the low hundreds.
The Aardwolf adventure is set in Andolor, meaning 'greatest world' in ancient tongue. Andolor orbits a single sun, but unlike other worlds, does not rotate. Andolor's three moons and several large planets between Andolor and its Sun give the impression of rapidly changing day and night. There are no seasons or changes in climate. Tropical areas stay tropical, the frozen land of Gelidus remains frozen. In terms of geography, much of the vast Oceans of Andolor remains unexplored. Many islands exist within these oceans, guarding many mysteries. While Andolor is not completely circular, head in any direction long enough and you will arrive very close to where you started, assuming you survive the journey. Four main continents have been discovered so far on Andolor.
