DragonBall: Infinity

DragonBall: Infinity (often abbreviated DB:I) is a fan-developed MUD built on a heavily modified Smaug codebase, created on September 1, 2004, and based on the Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT anime and manga universe. Players choose from races including Saiyans, Namekians, Bio-Androids and Androids, and can use series-accurate abilities like Super Saiyan transformations, the Kamehameha wave, and the Kaioken attack, guided by a structured tutorial run by in-universe characters like the Elder Kai, Goten and Trunks. A maintained World Anvil wiki documenting current gameplay systems and an official RP-focused website confirm the MUD remains actively run, with an RP-tier system designed to formalize what characters can and cannot do in roleplay, a functioning point of ongoing community discussion.

Why you might like it

  • Deep, series-accurate mechanics (Super Saiyan transformations, Kamehameha, Kaioken, and a full race roster of Saiyans, Namekians and Androids) give DragonBall: Infinity unusually faithful Dragon Ball Z fidelity for a text-only fan MUD.
  • An explicit RP-tier progression system, designed to formalize what a character can and cannot do at each roleplay power level, helps structure and legitimize competitive roleplay in a franchise infamous for wildly inconsistent power scaling.
  • A structured, guided tutorial (introducing new players to core mechanics via familiar in-universe characters like Goten, Trunks and the Elder Kai) makes the MUD notably more approachable to newcomers than many bare-bones text MUDs.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • As a pure text-based MUD accessed via Telnet or dedicated MUD clients like Mushclient or Mudlet, this requires real comfort with text-command interfaces rather than any graphical presentation.
  • Being an unofficial, fan-created MUD built on Dragon Ball's copyrighted characters and universe, expect no official support and the standing legal exposure any unlicensed long-running fan project carries.
  • The game was historically ranked among top MUDs as far back as 2009, so verify current population and staff activity directly, since decades-old fan projects can see participation ebb and flow considerably over time.
