Haven:Mist and Shadow is a non consent supernatural horror themed MUD. For the most part, the game is a little tough to learn at first, for the code is a little complicated to get the hang of. However the game has many helpful Newbie Guide's and Staff that will correct a problem for you if it's needed (at least from my experience) The game it'self is quite immersive, you are placed into a small New England town that is for the most part, thematic. There is an Extended selection of Races, and Racial powers, you can be Supernatural, or plain old human, or the antagonists Abominations (hypernaturals.) I have little experience with the staff, and tend to keep them at arms length, which as long as you follow the rules you are all set. There have been many reports that the chief coder and Admin abuses his privileges, as someone who has played longer than most, I can assure anyone that these reports are mostly false. Like any other game though, there are those players that generally try to ruin the experience for others, however it is 99% avoidable. Unlike some games, this one is ROLEPLAY ENFORCED, which ~80% of players follow to the letter, so if you are looking for immersion, this might be a good choice for you. The Player relations Admin, is professional from my experience, they sort the problem out if it's required, leaving most happy with the results. The Story Admin, is a terrific writer, and is generally very friendly, and will involve anyone random player in the MetaStory, Newbie or not, and from what I've heard is willing to help.

My only suggestion, would be stay away from the Forums, because at times people do argue over stuff that hardly pertains to anything relevant. Other than that the game is a great experience, and rewarding. I do recommend this MUD, but only to Mature 18+ players. 17- should not try this game.
