I started playing Unwritten Legends in its first incarnation, as Realms of Exile. Even in the beginning stages, the game was amazing, and I was drawn in right away. It was actually the first MUD I'd ever played, and it's really been the only one. I try other games, and they just don't measure up.

The level of detail in the game is incredible and the sheer size of the world is astounding. The staff in the game are very friendly, and actually listen to the input of every player, even those who are jerks. Like me. :D

During my time with Unwritten Legends, my character rose to a position of power and some small prestige, and also influenced major events, in both the in character world and game policies. I've never really been involved with a game that allowed such a high level of influence from its players.

If you have been looking for a new MUD to try out, I sincerely recommend that you give Unwritten Legends a go. It's very much worth it, and likely you won't look at MUDs the same way after.
