The Gathering is a really impressive mud. I was playing there for a
few weeks. The areas are all really good, but most muds have good
areas so that wasn't anything too impressive. Don't get me wrong it
was great. Too many muds have stock areas, this one only has 2 stock
areas.

The playerbase usually tops with about 15 people on at once. I
wasn't going to stay because I usually like bigger playerbases, but
the players that they do have totally makes up for the lack of
numbers. They're all really nice people, GREAT roleplayers and
they're newbie friendly with out messing up their on going roleplay.
That was the first thing that impressed me.

When I heard the owner of the mud was moving and would be gone for a
while, I expected the worst. I've seen it happen before, where so
many muds were held together by one person, and Kedanna is the best.
She knows everyone, helps everyone, and usally roleplays with
everyone. She's a huge part of the mud as more than just the owner.
She's the head builder, and head imm, so I really expected the mud to
fall apart and for people to leave to find other places. As far as I
can tell no one left, everyone pulled together and kept the RPing
going, kept the areas coming. Ariana really took charge and kept
things fun and active. I'm really impressed they did so well, and the
RP didn't suffer and we even got a few more players to come. I think
the mud is worth the time to take a look, you'll love it I know I do!
