The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Adaresh]

Well, no brown nosing here. I'll just give you pros and cons and let
you decide. :)
Pros :
**Unique Class system - different and the limited practices per level
keeps the Uber-character level down.
**Progressive leveling - broken down into Exp blocks the higher you
go, the more exp you need to level and the old mobs give less and
less. Ensures to go out and explore to get levels.
**1000 mortal levels - no remorts, no *special quests* to get to
level 1000, just plain old, flat out 1000 levels of H&S goodness
with a dose of some interesting chat.
**Player Run Clans - you get the people and gold, you'll get a clan,
clan hall, clan equipment, etc.
**Fair staff - fair, impartial and they don't go snooping you out of
boredom. If a builder needs to build, they build not decide to peek
in on whoever though some mobs have been know to speak out over the
Gossip channel for some fun and amusement... ;)
**Mostly (if not 100%) Original - No Midgard! No Dwarf guy by some
fence that has a rope you need to pull! Nope, this is Orginal. Some
names might sound familar but the areas arent.
Cons -
--Small player base - only YOU, who is reading this can fix that, but
we are a likable bunch
--limited races - ok, 16 races. the ones you all know and love
(Human, elf, drow, giant, etc) Could use more but who knows? If the
PBase grows the playable races might too.
--Clans - only 2 clans right now, but that's because of the player
base and of course, if you and say, 10 of your friends all began
playing EoF there could be more clans
Ok, besides the normal Pros and Cons that any MUD will have, one
could say it's a diamond in the rough. With a few more players, it
could turn into something interesting. Heck, even with it's small
playerbase, everyday has something interesting happen. Lots of mobs
(with some that remember and some that call for help), lots of rooms
(well written and thought out too.) and lots of equipment (yes..orcs
can wear a piece of equipment named 'String of Drool' as well as
'Bad body odor') there's alot to be seen, quested for and outright
slashed. Stop by, give it a try and don't get scared by mob taunts
when someone dies. We all hit like fidos at sometime or another. ;)

(The following review comment is the opinion of the comment's author

I have been playing here on/off for well over 10 years to date and no
matter where I go I find myself back here time and time again. From
a credibility standpoint, like most I have played, hundreds of muds
from MOO's to MUSH nand were part of ADMIN on EoF for a year.
While I agree with most of what Adaresh has written I would like
to expand on the topic and correct one portion of it:
---Just to correct the review some, there is a remort system,
however it requires Immortal assistance. I am unclear what it is
currently as I have just been Hack n Slash lately, but originally it
was a hike to stats, and practice sessions after recreation.
Doesn't sound that good, but you could also become part of the staff
if you are worthy and up for the task.
---The playerbase is small, I cannot disagree and yes, it would take
you, and others to change that. We are on a very stable server (it
was moved recently) and is a super connection, so it would certainly
support a larger base.
---This mud is one of the most fun filled newbie friendly MUDs I have
ever had the privilege to play/IMM because the staff is very fair
and not condescending. In addition there is generally someone on
that can assist a newbie from creation with low level gear to start
them off or just answer simple questions regarding the how to's.
---Extensive helpfiles make even the first time mudder to have an
easy time figuring what to and not to do how to and how not to go
about things.
---Lastly- Though it may not seem larger than life in comparison to
other MUDs of it's age, I know for a fact there is an entire continent
near finished, the code is being improved all the time, and this
place will be huge and mor unique than it is already.
Check them out and give it an honest chance and I can assure you that
it will be a place that a first time mudder and the expert level
mudder will both get hooked on and enjoy. Take it from me, 13 years
of one mud. Enough said.
