Alhazi Invasion was a MUD, a rather typical hack'n'slash mud. It was based on another MUD called Myrradel, from which it was derived in late 1998 (thanks go to Raiden, Wilco, & Co. for the code, areas, and other stuff). During the approximately five years Alhazi Invasion was online, it gathered a smallish or medium-sized player base: mostly from Singapore, but some people also came from North-America, Northern-Europe, Australia et. al.

Features

The following list attempts to summarize the most significant features the mud offered:

A relatively large world: about 10700 rooms

Two continents (third was under work)

A sub class system, in addition to normal classes

80 mortal levels

Special remort races

A lot of new skills and spells, in comparison to the stock UltraEnvy concept

PlayerKilling (or rather, PlayerCharacterKilling), without any experience or equipment loss

PlayerStealing (stealing of equipment and money from player characters)

Clans, clan battles, clan halls, clan-owned areas, etc.

Automatic PK Arenas

A modest ship system

Partially customizable ansi colours

Modified ILAB On-Line Creation system for those who were willing to build areas

Slightly expanded MOBProgs system for builders

Modified UltraEnvy engine

Status

For most of the time, the mud was hosted on mudhost.com, port 6000, and it was, as far as I know, originally founded by Aias (with help from a few other implementors, of course).

Alhazi Invasion UltraEnvyMUD is no longer running; it was closed permanently on 02.02.2004.
