DBI is a great mud, with a great set of players and admins alike. Having recently come back to play after an extended vacation, I am reminded of all the reasons why I enjoyed playing here in the first place.
The mud is constantly growing and progressing, there is always something new to check out, a new area to explore with new quests to figure out or an overhauled event mechanic such as space wars or the saiyan invasions.
Balance seems to be more of a priority now than in the past, I see many new changes to racial transformations and attacks, aimed at bringing them in line with others. In the past you would see a majority of players all flocking to one or two races, while now it seems much more diverse and to me that says a lot.
Quests seem to be aimed less at making 'the hardest most frustrating quest ever' and more at making interesting and fun experiences for the players, which is a change that I personally love. But this does not change the fact that the 'quest info' rule, which basically forces you to ignore other players asking for help on a quest, really puts a damper on the sense of community (for me any way). I am the kind of person who really enjoys helping out others, and to me this rule is an artificial roadblock with no real reason to exist. But enough on that.
The roleplaying community on DBI is excellent, as is the system of rewards and the new RP tier system, which allows you to work your way up the RP power ladder. This new system really helps eliminate the 'can he do that?!?!' factor that seemed to crop up all the time in the past, taking huge chunks of time to get settled and really just ruining the continuity of an RP session, among other things.
All in all I really believe this is the best Dragonball mud around, and aside from the one issue with the 'quest info' rule, I can not think of anything about DBI that I do not like.
Well that's about it for this review, I hope if you read this you will stop on by and see how you like it for yourself... You won't regret it :)
