I have a love/hate relationship with this game. Some of the biggest problems, to echo many of the reviews, come from staff.

The other problems with this game are it's OOCness. It's supposed to be a strict IC only, RP only MUD. However, players are OOC =as hell= and never get punished for it. They use OOC information instantly, they form cliques on Skype and share information that their characters would ICly have no way of knowing. I've even seen evidence that someone was - in real time - using information from one Guild's chat as IC information for his other character.

Alts abuse the powers of their other characters. Thieves are the worst. If I could give Andrew one piece of advice, it'd be to nuke the Thief Guild from existence. Far from the best RPers on the game, as advertised, they are completely horrid at RP and are the most OOC people I've ever met in any RP mud, ever. And that says a lot. They use OOC info constantly, they use their info gained on their thieves cross-alt, and they settle grudges their non-Thief might have with their Thieves. It's atrocious gameplay, and I've never met a Thief that didn't abuse their position OOCly.
