I have played many muds, hack and slash, roleplaying, goofy chatty muds. But when it came down to it, i really wanted something that could keep my attention more than a month. Most of the time i'd hit top level and piddle around trying to find something to do, someone to roleplay with, something more to explore, anything.

One of the best ways to describe Realm of Shadows: It has a lot for just about anyone. If you are new to mudding, or new to this mud it will be very easy for you to pick up and start playing. The newbie zone is full of useful information as well as it's own newbie doctor there to spell you up and help you out!. PK is completely optional. If you choose to pk you will have the option to convert back to Non-pk if you choose. There is a lot to do other than just run around gaining levels. Mob master quests involve tracking down a designated mob in an allotted amount of time and slaying it. Aquests work similar to the mob master except you earn points to get objects instead of experience points. Another kind of quests on Realm of shadows are the invasion quests. Invasion quests allow an area to be invaded by a senior staff member with a specific mob - up to 300 instances. The NPCs will randomly be assigned values, some are worth extra experience points, some are worth quest points, some carry extra gold and some will have a 100% chance of holding a random item.

The main goal of players on Realm of Shadows is to have fun. There are no strict RP rules no requirements to level, and no quests that must be completed for advancement. Basically, it's up to the players to determine how they want to spend their time on. The immortals are particularly friendly, helpful and very engaged with the mud and player base. There are generally always immortals around to assist with any questions you may have. So if you are sitting here reading this, why not log in and see whats going on. I can promise you will have a great time.
