LegendMUD is simply one of the best I have ever played, I started shortly after Legend was imped in 94 and was immediately hooked. The staff is great, some truly gifted writers and coders, and for the most part they are willing to listen to suggestions from players and actually take said suggestions under consideration. There is at least one q and a session hosted per week (more depending on what changes to code or implementations are coming down the pike) at which time members of the staff address any ideas, greivances, or thoughts the players might have.

My favorite aspect of the game is the LACK of a newbie area, I truly and deeply despise having to spend 1-4 hours learning in these controlled environments. That is what Legend has New Player Helpers (NPHs) for; simply ask on one of the channels (yes, newbies also have access to all channels)... Quests and magic spells are extensive and well thoughtout, and for any mythology/historical fiction buffs, much of the game content is accurate. All in all, I give Legend a 9/10. (not perfect only because of the lack of graphics). Poi, Flaco, et al.
