I first began to play The Gathering... just over one month ago and have been highly impressed by what I've seen during that time. I was drawn to The Gathering... because of RP. I liked what I read both here on TMC and on The Gathering...'s website and decided to try it out.

As soon as I logged on I was greeted warmly and found my questions answered quickly, laying to rest what concerns I had as to the quality of the MUD environment. I have nothing but praise for the staff, all of whom work toward the constant improvement of The Gathering... The same is true for the playerbase, all have been helpful in the extreme.

The Gathering... is RP focused, yet other aspects do not seem to be lacking. There is a very high degree of control when it comes to the creation of a character and it's development along with way OOCly. There are only two stock areas, one of which is the newbie school.

I have come to find this to be my new MUD home. All I can say in the end is to simply give The Gathering... a try to see if it's enjoyable. I certainly did.
