As someone who has been playing muds of several varieties since 1996, I can say that every once in awhile there comes along a rare gem that can put many things together. Everwar is such a game. Being a complete newbie to this codebase and this mud for nearly two weeks now, I must say that I'm still learning things and having fun. This mud is not perfect, if you don't like savage pk, then it may not be for you. However, you are not alone, and there's always roles on whatever side you choose that needs to be filled. The mud is split up into two playerbases that can't interact with each other besides killing each other. Seperate who screens, seperate sides of the map.

I also tried both sides and have stuck with Light, myself. Both sides have a lot of helpful people. My favorite thing though in the game is the progression. You don't have to PK to progress, but it does make it faster. You can solo, but it's way slower than teaming up. In order to progress in this game, you really have to stick with the pack and show teamwork. It's an interesting change from the lone wolf pk muds we've all seen. The classes are great too, the races are interesting stat wise(but no racial skills).

So come check it out. You won't regret it.
