As both a player and Staff member on LoK, the best word I could think of to sum up the MUD as a whole would be 'variety'. From the vast world itself (which is constantly being expanded), to the literally hundreds of class skill & spells, the opportunities for exploration and individuality are virtually endless.

The playerbase is a well blended mix of newbies and veterans,DL 'scholars' and those just being introduced to the world, 'advanced' roleplayers and novices alike.

Imms involved in both creating storylines and 'enhancing' playerdriven plots help to make sure that there is always some 'intrigue' going on, and questing allows for visual alteration of eq to provide a well rounded 'look' in keeping with your char's concept.

In short, LoK provides not only numerous features not found anywhere else; it is an environment where creativity is more important than 'power gaming', the Imms are friendly and accessible, and players work together to form lasting bonds both IC and OOC.
