| - WoTMUD, the Wheel of Time MUD, is a classic-style Multi User Dungeon (MUD) based on the Wheel of Time book series by Robert Jordan. It has been online since 1993 and has evolved and grown enormously since its initial inception. It is the only Wheel of Time-themed MUD which was approved by Robert Jordan himself before he died and contains such an enormous array of detailed zones that many players whose introduction to the Wheel of Time series is through the game are already quite intimate with many details of the story before reading the books. Originally derived from the CircleMUD branch of the renowned DikuMud codebase, it has evolved so far at this point that it is no longer considered a true Diku/Circle code base but rather a branch derivative of its own.

| - The Wheel of Time MUD or WoTMUD is an online role playing game based on The Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan. Players can hone their skills to be a heroic warrior, wield angreal as an Aes Sedai with the One Power, sharpen their knife as a Trolloc or serve the Seanchan Empress, awaiting the Corenne. The Wheel of Time MUD was created in 1993 by "Flash", and has since been maintained and updated by a large list of contributors.

The Wheel of Time MUD has personal permission from Robert Jordan to use the "Wheel of Time" theme, and has been featured on a range of websites throughout the net. One feature that distinguishes the Wheel of Time MUD from others, aside from its theme, is the unrestricted player-killing, known on the MUD as "PK" (what some other MMORPGs call "PvP"). Beginners are not given any special protection, nor is player-killing restricted to certain areas or level ranges. The Wheel of Time MUD argues that this feature moves the game beyond a pure roleplay game (where you can pretend to be dangerous) to a more realistic form of roleplay (where in order to pretend to be dangerous, you actually have to be competent).

Originally derived from the CircleMUD branch of the renowned DikuMud codebase, it has evolved so far at this point that it is no longer considered a true Diku/Circle code base but rather a branch derivative of its own. WoTMUD's functional premise of play revolves around a race war among humans, trollocs and Seanchan. Additional intra-factional rifts emerge and evolve but are most distinct on the "light side" where humans live. As sides are clearly defined and segregated by the game logic to force hostility between factions this MUD is considered a hardcore player-killing (PK) MUD, as distinct from MUSHs and MOOs, though in-depth roleplay is encouraged and prevalent and the social aspects of the community are generally cited as the most important factor in a player's decision to frequent the MUD for years.
