Reviewed Mud: Ivalice
Review Submitted By: Nai
Author Status: Player
Began on Ivalice: Mid-Late 1998-1999ish.
Ivalice is easily one of the greatest and overlooked muds out
there. Since I've started playing, I've noticed that Ivalice is
closer to a living being than it is a simple game. It changes with
time, and is influenced by those who are within it. If you want a
purely original environment, this isn't for you. Ivalice is hugely
inspired off of the FF series, as well as several other games within
the same genre.
What's GOOD about the game? The coding, the various systems within
the systems, the homeland and class system. The fact that its always
getting new additions. These qualities of Ivalice keep you
entertained and wondering 'What's next?'
What's BAD about the game? The lack of the benefits a large
playerbase gets you. The playerbase is small. The RP is limited due
to a lack of interested RPers. The clans are inactive, at best.
While there ARE people playing, don't expect more than 40 people on
at any given time.
If you want a game that is loaded with features filled with nearly
endless possibilities, this is definitely for you. If you want a mud
where you can influence and inflict change, this is definitely for
you.
