No. Ishar MUD does not require role-playing.

When you sign out or log off, your character's equipment, gear, and inventory is simply preserved until the end of the season.

The season currently changes every four (4) months. You can find more information about seasons at the patches page.

You can choose your game type (either Classic, or Survival mode) each time that you create a new player character!

While survival mode gains experience faster, classic mode subtracts experience upon death, but allows you to retrieve your character's corpse.

You can have up to ten (10) player characters per account!

You may actively multi-play three (3) characters at once. Only one account is allowed per person!

Yes and no. While player-versus-player combat (or PK'ing) is possible, it is uncommon, and not a requirement of the game.
