The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Sanen Jadestorm]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
What can I said about Kotl that hasn't already been said except the
honest truth. I am not a regular player there so I will not buff it
up and lie to you making you think it's the greatest thing next to
cotton candy, because it's not. It lacks originality and character.
It's the same old same old. It may have a few slight differences, but
nothing is completely original. Mob run quest, quest tokens, socket
gems, quest gear, custom gear. It's all the same you can find at alot
of the newer or revamped muds these days.
However, you may find it comforting to know that the imms like to play
snoop and they will silently snoop you no matter what you do so don't
do anything bad and if you plan to go to the hotel with that special
someone, know now, don't do anything real bad or you will be the talk
of the oc channels. The immstaff press hard about not revealing to
other characters who other players alts are, but they have no problems
breaking this rule themselves.
So take heed young adventurers if you're looking for a good mud, don't
stop here. Keep travelling my friend and one day the road less
travelled will open to reveal a much better landscape.
ta for now

This is actually rather funny, coming from someone who stated to
others that she had found her home on KotL, and the other muds she
played on paled in comparision.
However, such is the way with people who are banned because rules are
for the rest of the mud, never for them.

Finally got ourselves a bad review! :P
Well, I feel the other reviews speak volumes about us, but despite
the disparaging remarks left by Sanen, I think there's actually
something useful garnered from it.
We are a highly involved staff. No, we don't make a practice of
snooping, but this was a case where harassment was called by
mulitple players, so we took it upon ourselves to keep an eye on
matters.
Sanen was found to be breaking several of the stated rules (of
which you are forced to read on creation, like most MUDs), and
playing ooc head games with players, pitting them against one
another for matters of non-MUD-related basis. I don't care at
all what people do away from my MUD, and the people they talk to
in other places such as AIM or Yahoo is their own business, but
at KotL my staff and I take care of our players, and attempt to
ward off problems before they get terribly out of hand.
I always figured we would get out first bad review from a
disgruntled player after they were punished. This one was
warned multiple times, jailed a short time, and then denied
and then banned. We took progressive measures for which I owe
no apology, and am in a way grateful that she advertised the
active and protective role we take at KotL.
