Created in the late 1990's, The World of Pain is a 100% free online multiplayer text-based game. In this realm, you can create and control a new being with a unique personality and skillset. You'll get to explore a new world with a variety of places and faces that you have never seen before.
Choose your gender, race and class to create a unique individual. See our Roleplay page for more information on creating and roleplaying your character.

The UI should automatically load when you connect via Mudlet. Recommendations: Use port 6943 and check Secure. If you're using Windows on a high resolution screen and experiencing display issues, see the Mudlet FAQ: Distorted font on Windows? for a fix. Optional: Enable Discord.
There have also been enhancements to the in-game newbie tutorial.
The World of Pain has been resurrected by Blizzard. (again) I've spent some time fixing major crashing bugs and making the mud run better. We still have a lot of work and testing to do, but you are welcome to play and help us test things out. Please write any bugs you find on the problems board (west, west, south from the Woodhaven Cathedral) or use the BUG command.
