Act of War has been a part of my mudding life for the past 13 years and counting. I have tried countless other muds and no matter what happens I always end up going back. There have been many iterations of the mud over the years, with different head admins and changing philosophies on how things should be ran but the current staff is working their tails off trying to make the world a truly unique and engaging place to play.

Classes, races and eq are in the process of being completely revamped and rebalanced. It is a pure pk environment the rush of the fight, the thrill of the hunt and the spoils of the victory all make this a one of a kind experience. Character progression is slow to begin with, but that is intentional so you have time to learn what your class is meant to do, and what your unique skills/spells do and how they should be used.

The current player base in general is helpful to new players, they will answer questions within their knowledge, will help with equipment when possible and do what they can to help. A lot of the older players do everything they can to help the new people that show up, to make them feel welcome and ensure their learning time is as painless as possible.
