For anyone who wants a detailed back story, Harshlands has it, just about any question you want to ask can be answered. Just about every aspect of the game has a story, from how monsters exist to why most people consider Jarin to be criminals.

Diffrent from most other muds it has a delightful twist to just about everything. Based on a table-top game this mud holds true to its tenents. If one was to google 'harn' you would have a good understanding of the world this mud is set in. Just add 50-80 years of player involvement.

This game, however is not for anyone seeking quick rewards. You create and control a lifetime, and many players hold PC's that have existed for RL years. And that is its beauty. Its like a fully fleshed fantasy book you have control over.

It has a lot going for it. But sadly it is in a rut however a few new, fresh player can solve that issue. It needs you. And anyone seeking out a RPI mud should really consider giving this mud a go.

Staff are friendly and helpful. I've not had any drama with them and most seem keen to help you find a place within the game.

Most players are friendly enough. I've encountered some down right rude ones and a few others are just annoying with their obsession to make you conform to their idea of the game world. My advice is to ignore them and soldier on, besides most of them exist outside the main area of play.

Consider them elitists who turn there nose up at newbies. Every mud has them its just because the playerbase is so small they end up being in your face more often. But with an increse in player numbers they can be put down. I've put up with being ignored by these small few and found a comfortable and enjoyable home. I've no doubt if you gave the mud a go, you would too. As i said they are a minority and most players will seek to RP with you.

I strongly advice anyone considering a PC to put in the time and research a role. Use the GDB to speak to players if you need too.
