The Good- Beautifully thought out and unique. The game itself is awesome. You never run out of things to do in this mud. Whether you are questing for a custom made weapon or armor, leveling, perfecting spells and skills, ranking in religions or kingdoms, roleplaying for the many benefits of rpxp, there's always something you can be doing. And all of these things take a lot of time and patience.
The Bad- The game says I've put in over 180 hours into it, so I really believe that I have a right to this opinion. Now, the problem that I have with this otherwise perfect game is the social aspects of it. I wouldn't say it's incredibly newbie friendly and unless you make a scene when you first enter the game you'll likely go unnoticed.
The playerbase is not big. An average of 10 people are on, sometimes more, sometimes less, but I'd say rarely more than 25. There's something called 'prewipe' in this game and most of you know what I'm talking about. Yeah this game had an older version and there was a prewipe where everyone recreated. Now if you are 'prewipe' then you're almost automaticaly cool and yeah, you'll have friends on the mud. If you're not, then you seriously have to work hard to 'be cool enough' to have friends here.
Now, the mud is great on its own, but who wants to play an online game (with people from all over the world on the same game) when you can't socialize?
So here's my final words : The game is GREAT. I just think they need to work on the newbie friendliness, and overall friendliness. There is an air of arrogance on this game, and yeah, the older players definitely deserve respect. But this game is an RP game, and in an RP game I just don't understand excluding those around you simply because you think you are better.
