MUD REVIEW BY TORRIDON

This stands as one of the best MUDs I have ever seen in 8 years of online gaming. It is now the only mud I play and has been for the past 9 months. OK I did start writing reasons why under a lot of headings but thought perhaps it best to describe my individual experience on this mud. Anyway the headings were-

The Actual World.

Admitedly RJs book have gone nowhere in the last several but he DID create a detailed and fascinating universe.

RP PK Imm Activity etc.

Right a personal account...

I started playing WOTMUD about September '06. I dropped any other games i was dallying with within about a week. I started a hunter, named him Cearon and appeared in the 'Circle of Light'. This is also where any Lightside people are sent after a RIP so there were about 3 or 4 people resting up in there when i logged on. The mobol started telling me a bit about the game while i said hi everone present. I mentioned that I was brand new and bam! One of the guys there, naked himself after dieing then proceded to show me the ropes for the next three hours. He also told alot of his friends on the mud and over the next week withing minutes of logging on someone would be offering help. OK fastforward a bit. Here I am having been shown the mechanics of the game, a few little tricks for making heaps of cash, and various people have given me pieces of really nice equipment over the past few weeks.

Am wandering around exploring and get a bit close to PK areas. In walks a *Trolloc* and procedes to crush me. Heart never raced as fast as that first time. Anyway, needless to say i die but people requip me pretty fast and what I'm not given I can now buy.

player base

So currently, I have the char 'Spruce' who is a Child of the Light. Based in amador, we, coupled with the Red Eagles of Emonds field are first in defense against the Seanchan invasion. Here I get lots of PK and also as a Child, plenty of RP as well. The mud is never too quiet or isolated, it is easy to learn but at the same time a challenge that would take many years to master. The IMMs are amazingly active with new features added regularly. Just today we got pikes in our cities to display the heads of our slain enemies. Recently an entire system of ships and PC controlled sailing was implimented.

Anyway, come and try it out. thats all, I know you will get stuck.
