As the first and only MUD I've ever played, I can't really compare Sindome to anything else, nor do I know how it stacks up against others. But I can say that it's the most immersive RP I've ever participated in.

Sindome has enough active players to make the city feel alive. Stuff's happening every day and if you don't witness it yourself, you'll a hear almost certainly hear gossip about it. I find the amount of detail in what you can do with your character very impressive. I especially love what a character can do with the right skills. You can have artists, assassins, wage slaves, hustlers, strippers, reporters, mechanics, doctors... There are lots of roles to fill or aspire to.

My biggest criticism (maybe my only real one) is most definitely the learning curve of playing the actual game. If you're inexperienced like me, you'll feel like you're studying for a test with all the functions you have to memorize. It's overwhelming, and the staff are very anti-hand holding. It felt unapproachable at first, in fact it drove me away for nearly a year.

I've come back with appropriate expectations, and actual knowledge of how to play, and I've been completely sucked into the world. It's the best RP I've ever been part of. If you love cyberpunk and rp, you should at least take a peek to see if it's your style.
