This game has long been my favorite to play, even after having played some of the best I've seen in all my time MUDing. I started out here playing a very lost slicer by the name of Locke, and stole ships with a small crew onboard the CEC Hammerhead Fast Transport we called the Gaia.

As much fun as this was (and it was awesome) I later decided to try my luck at being a pilot and liked that just as much. I went on to try many different classes and types of characters, until the beginning of Summer 2006, when the game closed for 2 months worth of renovations. I was there for those two months, and I worked with the most dedicated MUD staff I've ever seen, building to help make the huge galaxy of FotR.

Nowadays nearly anyone you talk to who has ever really given this game a try will agree to say it is the best Star Wars based MUD they have played. It features everything from a custom tiered level system to a player driven quest system to enhance player interaction rather than having everyone just fend for themselves.

If you are going to give anything a try, FotR is the place to go. I remember even now the welcome I got when I first came into the game, unlike the many other games where I ended up feeling left out by the community. I was able to create my character, create a personality, and actually feel like it wasn't time wasted; it was was an extremely lucky find.
