Emperia is a good place for both the experienced and the newbie mudder. It has stocked areas with little or a lot of makeovers, and many areas that are unique and fresh... and, of course, newer areas are always in the making (with over 30 unique areas presently).

Though the Immortal staff isn't always visibly active, they are still working and watching to improve the mud and continue fairness from things like Multi-Assisting and Power Leveling. And even with new area additions, new codes and quests, the staff tries to be generally available to assist players on a daily basis. The people of Emperia (both players and Imms) are some of the coolest I've met in sometime. Most are friendly and helpful and really add to the mudding environment.

Another one of the things I liked about it is the possibility of remort. With remorting, you are can gain a variety of new classes and races, each with new skills/spells. So each time you advance to a high tier, you can be grow a little stronger and take on some of the more advance mobs in the Emperian world. But even if you choose not to remort right away (... if ever), there are many places to explore and puzzles/quests to solve. There are many hero quests with great rewards, for those who hero and wish to continue questing the mud. (BTW, there are probably still hero quests yet solved or found by our past heroes).

Also with the many quests that can pop up (mini quests, mob quests, seasonal quest, immortal quests, tribe quests, or even a player hosting their own quest), you can also request a personal quests which can be done by yourself, or group with someone to do that with them. The prize is Valour Points (VPs) which you can use to buy from a list of prizes that are extensive, rare, or customized.... and even includes you getting a personal room(s).

And with about any mud, there are the immortals (staff) that help in many ways. Also, they aren't the types that are the 'my way or the highway' or 'I'm always right' type of people. They try to be fair to everyone and playing no favorites.... they listen to complaints and ideas from all the players, new and old. And though I'm not the type to say this much, most of the IMMs on Emperia are by far they greatest I've seen on MANY muds and better than many I've heard about and never seen on myself. *whispers* but don't go around repeating that TOO much, hate to cause an ego-trip, ya' know (J/K)

To the negative side, we had a little down time for a bit and our playerbase is slowly trying to build back up. So you might get on and see no one, or see alot of people, or just miss all the invis/sneaking players, SO try looking about for a little before assuming there is no one there.

As of the time this was written, even I don’t know who or how many will be on when I get there. So, I say: log on, look around, ask questions... most of the people there to help you with about anything they can. There are so many options to be able to mud in any way you want to whatever fits you best. Whether it's role playing, questing, exploring, leveling like a madman, or just plain hanging out doing nothing, you can find what you want at Emperia. All in all, Emperia has always been just a great place to be.
