This mud is very different from any other I have played. The world, although at the point in time at which I am writing it is unfinished, is highly detailed and lends itself to the avid explorer. Although not overly large, it is big enough at this time to allow players plenty of adventures if they wish for them! RolePlaying is enforced very effectively with a straightforward point and reward system.

The main attraction of ShadowSiege, for me, is that it is a highly diverse atmosphere - the focus on RP instead of levels and classes makes it highly adaptable for any type of player. You can have a job, a trade, a house, fight, kill, heal and spend everyday life just how you wish - there are no boundaries limiting the decisions you can make, or the path you can walk. All equipment is saved, and gold can be earnt in a variety of ways - including by earning RolePlayPoints for the amount of RP you take part in.

Moreso, the staff are friendly and approachable, and are always willing to help - you can submit a background story for you char from the website, and an imm will tailor your skills to it.

All in all this is an immensly versatile game, which should be tried by everyone. Good Luck!
