Unlike many other reviews, I won’t speak of myself (I rule, you don’t, end of story), nor tell you how wonderful the staff is (though they give these wonderful foot massages every Tuesday, and the back rubs...They must have taken a special course for that). Nor I will tell you how great the other players are (nasty schemers, probably plotting behind my back right now).

What I will tell is that: First let me start by saying that if you’re in for the hack ‘n slash game like D&D, where your game play aspirations could be summarized as “I just killed a dragon and got a trillion gazillion XP”, please, turn back and run.

If you want your character to be some-/thing/ (best warrior/mage/… etc), I don’t think it’s the right mud for you. If on the other hand, you want your character to be some-/one/, by all means, please read on.

If, and only if, you’re looking for tons of /roleplaying/ in the purest sense of the word, if you feel so attached to the character you create that it could make you feel anger, hate, happiness and any other possible emotion as if your character is an actual part of you, if you enjoy one on one roleplaying – be it two lovers or two assassins plotting a murder as much as you enjoy roleplaying as part of a group, I have a door for you to step through.

Shadow Siege will allow you to create a character, which by definition of the world will be first and foremost a /personality/ in this world. Now, instead of raving on and on about how wonderful Shadow Siege is, I’ll give you one little link. It’s a link to the ‘Blogs of Roleplay’ of some of the players, you could see just how seriously people take their character in Shadow Siege. If you like what you see and feel you can and want to be a part of it, WELCOME.
