The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Candy]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Denver has the best coded base for any of the Shadowrun games out
there, and is one of the most supported MUXs, as far as code goes.
The only problems are that it has a bit too much TS, there are lots
of high Karma (experience) people around, and there can be some
fights over some of the houserules. The atmosphere is friendly for
the most part, with a majority of the tinyplots being run by players
instead of admin.
The theme is rather loose, but they've been cracking down on that
lately to get more of an SR feel into things. A lot of RP on the
grid, lots of regular players and tons of opportunities to build
the character you feel like in a world where Man meets Magic and
Machine, both by game mechanics as well as history and personal
depth.

What Candy said is rather accurate. I'd like to point out a couple
more things along those lines in order to elaborate.
* Too much TS
Yes, loads actually. If you had to categorize TS, Social RP, and
Plot/Shadowrun RP it would be in that order of frequency. I haven't
seen them care or try to alter that because the 2060s is rather
hedonistic, but I suppose it could happen if they are rehauling.
* There are lots of high karma PCs
Yep, also true. Players have a tendency to live long, fruitful lives
because there is very little heat enforced there. There is also low
PC death, for the most part-- so if you have been around for a while
- you'll have high karma regardless. :P
* There are houserule fights
I'll defend this one. They fight over houserules a lot, but they
make the active effort to sort them out and make sure everyone is on
the same page. They even have a +poll system so that they can get
the opinions of how the public thinks about a particular topic. It
doesnt mean they'll act on it, but Wyld is normally responsive to it.
* The theme is loose
I'll say. Resembles more of a futuristic anime/superhero MU* than
anything Shadowrun or Cyberpunk. Its a happy world where everyone
eats real food, no one drinks alcohol LET ALONE do BTL or drugs, and
shoving yourself to the brim with cyberware is so much the norm that
most mundies should be walking fridges.
