When I first played on LoTS, I thought it was a decent, if featureless MUD. After a while I was PK'd in dodgy circumstances so took a year off. When I returned, were there any new features?

It is poorly staffed, except by one or two imms who prefer to sit there punishing players for so much as breathing out of line - the rules are too restrictive. Newbie helpers are often rude to non-newbie players.

Rather than go to war, people seem to want to RP everything to the death, to the point where I grew bored and tried to incite a war myself. However, despite asking a newbie helper and a veteran player whether what I was doing was illegal and being told it wasn't, I was later punished with a slay.

The rules prevent you from doing anything, especially if you're bountied, as then you're not allowed to be on your own clans ships or bases, or even on Coruscant (where PKing seems to be illegal), you're considered to be hiding.

To add to this tale of woe, LoTS has the cheek to call itself 'the best SWR'. I know there aren't many anymore, but even the original SWR must have advanced more in 2 years than LoTS.
