Which of the many available MUD Servers would be best for... --A Completely skill-driven character system. No classes to speak of, just skills. --Good stock combat system --easy to wipe clean and start with a new world --Allows in-world building. Anyone familiar with the different MUD code-bases? I'd love some suggestions. Thanks!

Anyone have any knowledge in this area?

check out coffee mud (its in java)

CoffeeMUD Sounds pretty powerful, thank for the suggestion. I'm not sure how the codebase will work for a Classless system (which is my main requirement), but I'll check it out.

I was hoping to find a MUD server type that was built to support skill-based leveling and not class-based leveling.

So far everything I've found has been both. I was hoping not to have to do much code work, but looks like I may have to.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
