This mud has promise, but for a mud that has been around for as long as this one has it has some serious flaws. The code is out of date. Features other muds have had for years are lacking in painful ways on this mud.

While some work is being done, from the OOC conversations I heard and comments made to me directly, it would appear as if one of the coders are taking liberties with their position to build themselves more classes to force people to interact with her mortal.

The classes lack balance. The Space code is outdated. The players seem able to RP, but the mud itself seems to lack an RP system. This despite the fact that one of the currencies in the game is points earned via RP.

When looking at their forums, one of the reasons (And I heard this over the ooc channels as well) the coder didn't want to put something in, it seems to be because it would cause extra work. This does not inspire faith in the staff at all.

All in all, I would say KoD looks to have promise if you find just the right players, but overall corruption on the level of the staff and the lack of in depth roleplaying tools found elsewhere makes this mud lackluster and feeling more like a nearly decade old beta game. And after a decade, it really should have long stopped feeling beta.
