I admit I was very cautious going into this mud due to past experiences with some of the the staff and playerbase. I had a few concerns going in: Abusive immortals, players not being able to voice opinions with out harsh reactions, and power gaming from the player base. However I decided the past was the past, and I am glad I gave this a shot. I really have nothing negative I can say about this game. Sure I have only been playing for a month, but I feel safe writing this review already. I have needed assistance from the immortals on several occassions, and they have responded in a very timely manner. Not only have they quickly resolved my issues, but they were very pleasant about this. I think the immortals set the tone for a game, and I think this is a very nice tone to be given. It's completely squashed any concerns I have about abuse. Furthermore the immortals seem to do their best to provide an environment for fun roleplay and they have given us an immersive world to explore. My second issue, voicing opinion with out harsh retribution, has also been quelled as I look at the forums. Sure there seems to be some tension at times, but that is to be expected when people are passionate. I can't say I have seen -anything- which would make me uncomfortable speaking my mind. It also seems to be encouraged, and again this is something that makes me happy. I admit I have not been involved much in pvp, or even the actual main plots, but people seem genuinely interested in making interesting stories. People do not seem to rush over each other in roleplay (like with emotes and such) and I have not seen any measuring contests yet. If there is any power gaming going on I have yet to see this.

Since my biggest concerns have been handled, what do I think of this game? It's pretty fun, and the way it's set up gives a ton of freedom to play what you would like. The first day of creation I was able to create any object I wanted, and character creation was FUN. Combat in this game is unique, and seemed complicated. It took me only minutes to figure out, and I like that it's more than just kill . I am able, again, to make ANY attack that I want which helps fully create a character which I envision. Really this mud seems to have a lot of bells and whistles for me to play with. What is the nutshell? Fun atmosphere, caring imm staff, and the ability to make anything I want. I am very much enjoying this game, and I appreciate what the immortals have done to make me feel welcomed.
