I suppose I could say that I have seen some muds that absolutely just do not work out for me because of several lacking features. However after playing Lost Wishes (LW) for around about 5 years give or take a few, I would have to say its one of the best muds available to the public.

Being family oriented its quaint to be on and the people or most people on the MUD are also well to be around on any given say. Its also newbie friendly; I love their mudschool and quests for side adventuring.

The wizards are active, helpful and caring. Understanding too which helps keep high morale for the players. The levels don't seem untouchable and yes, the deaths even though are insufferable are still fair enough, making it easy or pleasant to gain your few lost levels back. Heh, nine out of ten times I would give LW a ten for my books.
