Sauron has brought war to the Free People of Middle-Earth. On the field of the Pelennor, at the gates of the great city of Minas Tirith, the battle of our time is being fought. Lothlorien, Thranduil's Kingdom, Dale and Erebor are also under siege.

Sauron will not stop until all of Middle-Earth is his. Join him, or stand with those who are against him. The choice is yours!

The Two Towers MUD is a free Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game set entirely within Tolkien's world of Middle-Earth, at the time of 'Lord of the Rings'. We have extensively re-created the lands of Middle-Earth in a rich text environment, from Mithlond to Mordor and the lands of Harad beyond. With over 100,000 rooms and always growing, The Two Towers is a richly developed and highly interactive world. There are hundreds of quests, with rewards great and small, for you to discover.

The Two Towers has an active community of players from around the world who come together to play online. Players join together to create guilds, raid enemy lands, and more.

Online continuously since 1994, The Two Towers is one of the longest running Multiplayer games on the internet and is maintained by a staff of hardworking volunteers who love Tolkien and multiplayer gaming.

At The Two Towers, we believe strongly that Text-Based Gaming is a viable alternative in today's online world, and we volunteer uncounted hours of our time to making our particular MUD the best it can be. For more on this, read the MUDder's Manifesto.

We have changed the PvP flag on the MUD to now have three states: on, off and merciful. The third state is a middle ground between the first two, letting you freely fight other players but without the risk of dying.

We have further enhanced our newbie hint system to make the gaming experience easier for new players. If you are stuck and do not know what to do next, you can just type 'hint' for a suggestion of possible action.

October 10th, 2011
We have introduced some changes to our newbiehelper system, so that it is easier for newbies to view the current helper list. Access to the system is now also easier for current helpers and people willing to join their ranks.

On Wednesday, May 18, 2011 we will be performing a purge of level 1 characters who have not logged in for 30 days. In other words, if you have a level 1 character who was last online prior to Sunday, April 19, 2011, that character will be purged and the name will be made available once again. If your character is level 2 or higher, or has logged on after April 19, 2011, your character will not be touched.
