I was one of the first players to join this fantastic new mud last year. Starting simple, I watched it evolve and change.

As some would call it, Miriani is a rip off of the old Star Conquest MOO. I would have to agree, yet disagree at the same time. The MOO is feature rich, with several well-balanced ways to make money, from digging up artifacts in the ground, to blowing up Praelor, to asteroid hauling, to much more.

Miriani's playerbase is steadily growing. At 7:30 in the morning, MST, there are currently 22 players on.

This caps out at around 45-55 during the evenings and on the weekends. PVP is highly present here. From calling someone some obsene name over the communicators to stealing their ship and making them pay you a lot of money for it, it's all here and legal.

The staff are willing to help and insure your gaming experience goes well, as stated in a previous review. They indeed are friendly, and attempt to respond to their players in a timely manner.

If you like to get into fights with other players, laugh at people for being 'idiots', or simply to go explore over 2 billion sectors of space, or maybe even just hang out with a good group of friends at the local bar, this is the place for you. It's unpredictability, and variety of jerks to nice guys makes this place what it truly is.

If you are a person who gets offended easily, under the age of 13, can't separate your character from yourself, and can't take losing, this isn't the place for you.

I would consider Miriani Newbie Friendly. With a strict newbie policy, and characters that are actually willing to help newbies, you shouldn't have an issue getting started. Come give us a try! If all else fails ask for Carl Lyons. I'll do my best to help you get started.
