What players say
Players describe BatMUD as a text-based MMO that has run continuously since 1990, offering a massive world and deep mechanics. Many have played for thousands of hours over decades, but the learning curve is steep and the game demands significant time. Some note cash shop elements and the game feeling dated, while the community is praised as friendly and active.
