I didn't expect much when I logged onto the 7th Plane. Just another Godwars MUD. It has four classes (Werewolf, Lampryi, Monk and Mage) and a couple dozen areas. Then, suddenly, I was immersed in a Godwars experience like no other.

Each class is unique to the MUD, with some familiar names and experiences to keep people comfortable with the transition, and the areas are free of any stock descriptions. At first you'll have to walk around the areas, but each is connected in some way and has some description of how to reach the next area.

I chose to become a Mage upon arrival. I soon discovered a Mage class unlike any other I've come across in the Godwars-based realm. The intelligence attribute raises with spells learned, and the more spells you learn, the more become available to you.

All classes feature different methods of progressing in abilities, strength and title. Mages can search the world for glyphs and insignias which can be infused with armor. Each class also has its own fun way to get classed. The MUD has a currency and crafting system that will keep you busy for countless hours, desperately trying to improve your armor - or maybe build a house. There are dozens of crafting items to seek out and utilize in creating a truly personalized character.

Skills and spells have true value in their use, and don't just get thrown to the wayside. Each class also has access to their own skills/spells. Many NPCs can be talked to, either for items or hints to MUD secrets. The immortal staff typically has someone logged onto the MUD and answering questions - and they are always friendly and helpful. Really, the only thing missing from this MUD is you.
