# Arkadia / Genesis MUD - PL version (Arkadia)

> slug: `arkadia` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40244`

A Polish-language localization of the Genesis/CD-driver mudlib engine family -- this collection's already-onboarded libs/genesis is the English original -- and its first non-Chinese/non-English-language entry. A standard fantasy setting in the CD-driver mold, with the localization's own distinctive twist on character creation: a new arrival must type out all six Polish grammatical cases of their own name (mianownik/dopelniacz/celownik/biernik/narzednik/miejscownik), checked for validity and re-confirmable during the first six hours of play, since other players' commands need to grammatically decline a target's name correctly. The standard English soul commands are fully replaced by Polish equivalents throughout -- spojrz/sp to look, zakoncz to quit, stan for a status/score sheet, nagraj to save, haslo to change password -- so play reads as a genuinely Polish game rather than a translated skin over English verbs. A freshly-registered soul arrives as a formless spirit in a circular stone hall ringed by five silent statues, each holding a torch that casts the only light in the room, with a strange portal standing at the room's center and a passage leading off through the one flat wall; the intent is to touch a statue to choose a race, then step through the portal to be given a body and truly enter the world. As shipped, that final step never fires -- no path in the hall actually completes the transition -- so a new soul can register, log back in across sessions, and use ghost-level commands like looking around and checking status, but never leaves that spectral, disembodied state through ordinary play; combat, shops, and guild training all sit on the far side of a threshold nothing in-game currently opens.

## Run natively with FluffOS

1. Build a current FluffOS driver from https://github.com/fluffos/fluffos
   (native `build` / `build-debug`; see that repo's docs).
2. Download and unzip `arkadia.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/arkadia/`).
3. From the unzipped lib directory, ensure `config.fluffos` points
   `mudlib directory` at this tree (the checked-in file may contain a
   maintainer-local absolute path — edit it to your extract path).
4. Start the driver:

```bash
/path/to/fluffos/build/src/driver config.fluffos
```

5. Connect a UTF-8 MUD client to `127.0.0.1:40244`.

- Admin / wizard login: see this lib's README (no seeded account recorded)
- If you host this on a public network, change the published default
  admin password before opening the port.
