Probably one of the most rewarding experiences a MajorMUD player can have is to play in a live Realm, where you actively take a role in shaping your character from start to finish. And what better place to play it than on the MajorMUD homebase itself, MetroBBS.

    While scripting is certainly allowed, players must always be at the keys. This is a great boon to both old and new characters alike. For older players, this helps solve the biggest problem high level characters face, boredom. Though occasionally there are a few moments of silence, many players log in during work breaks or otherwise just to chatter, ensuring there is rarely a dull moment. For new players, this means there is practically always going to be someone at keys who can help give advice, or offer assistance with quests and experience. The atmosphere is very congenial and relaxed, all of the players openly express interest in seeing more new faces in the Realm. There are many high level limiteds available in particular, simply because the board isn't yet big enough as a whole to go out and acquire them.

     Since all players must be at keys at all times, the Realm population may appear to be on the low side. However, even with only 10 players on average in the Realm at any one time, that is comparable to many Realms with 25+ online, when you consider there are no dupes allowed, and every single person you see is at keys. Playing on one of Metro's boards also comes with its perks. Besides getting to enjoy the occasional online visits of Shannon and IZaK, MajorMUD's core developers, there is also plenty of active sysop support available. What most Metro Live players will boast about is their monthly tournaments. Whether its Shannon's gibbering horrors and terror beasts testing the player's mettle, or IZaK's triathalons and player's-choice rewards, there is always an event to keep the game fresh and everyone involved. So get to keys on Metro Live!
