Gameplay on DB:I is very good. It's an expansive world, many unique races with a great set of race abilities as well as ability and skill lists, including a fully creatable signature attack which is cheaply 'bought' with RP points (given for good roleplaying) -- though, that really is 'the trick' to it.

There's a large variety of mobs to go after, a huge universe to explore, and the RP system is detailed and fantastic.

On the downside, the Immortals seem preoccupied and busy most of the time, and even rather grumpy at times. Some of the players are exceptionally nice and helpful, though there are a few I've run across who seem less than willing to be friendly to a 'n00b' such as myself.

I was big on Dragonball (a little) and DBZ (quite a bit) when I was in high school, but my memory isn't that great. As a result, there are quests for necessary skills that I'm clueless about, as it seems these are expected to be common knowledge.

Additionally, every time I play, there are frequent times when it seems as if the MUD is going through a 'mini-reboot', correcting bugs or changes or whatnot, and is accompanied with a little message about it 'feeling like it's happened before.' This can get irritating in the middle of trying to stay alive, or being focused on a task. If it were me, I'd put these off until the next reboot, but it's not me.

All in all, on a 1-10 scale, I give it: *Gameplay: 7/10 *Friendliness: 4/10 (though this could just be my own unique experience) *Variety/Uniqueness: 9/10 *Addiction Level: 8/10

Bottom line, I recommend giving it a good try.
