tbaMUD is an acronym for The Builder Academy Multi User Dungeon - And we use it to mean both the Academy for training, and the codebase that is made freely available to the community.
TbaMUD's vision is to provide the MUDding community a stable and functional codebase that includes an in-depth World and help files that makes it ready to be molded into a custom MUD by its coders and builders. We also provide multiple resources to allow for feedback, contribution, and the sharing of ideas within the MUDding community to ensure constant development and improvements.
TbaMUD is highly developed from the programming side, but highly UNdeveloped on the game-playing side. So, if you're looking for a huge MUD with billions of spells, skills, classes, and races, tbaMUD will disappoint you. TbaMUD still has only the 4 original Diku classes, the original spells, and the original skills. On the other hand, if you're looking for a highly stable, developed, organized, and well documented "blank slate" MUD on which you can put your OWN ideas for spells, skills, and classes, then tbaMUD is what what you are looking for.
