The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Exa]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
I don't recommend this MUD if you wish to have a life of some sort.
After only two or three days of playing, you will be wholly addicted.
The first thing I have to mention is that KoTL is extremely,
wonderfully colorful. It's not blaring or excessive, but it makes
the whole text experience much more vivid than the monotonous gray
I've seen on nearly ever other MUD.
I like the automated quest system. It gives you a goal to work to,
and leaves plenty of time to roleplay inbetween. :) Roleplay is
highly encouraged. You can even restring pieces of equipment to fit
your character's style (I'm a restring addict, actually), which I
think is so awesome. It's a great way of bringing out your
character's personality. For those of you who dislike PK, you can
easily go serene, which removes you from the PK aspect of the MUD.
The zones are colorful, completely unique and so much fun. I adore
wandering through the castles and finding secret passages ^^;;.
One thing that makes KoTL stand out so much is the staff. They're
really one of a kind- Patient, hard-working and dedicated. There's
always one on to help if you really need it. In addition, the IMMs
are pure fun! You'll be surprised at how outgoing and generous they
are. They'll randomly bonus tokens, experience and even Crystalline
Tokens, which are very valuable.
The playerbase is also amazing. Everyone is so helpful! There are a
number of players who will answer any questions you have and lend
out help to whoever needs it(I certainly will :). They're funny and
out-going and a lot of fun to MUD with. I consider a great many of
them good friends. :)
Overall, KoTL is a perfect 10. There is no other MUD like it, and I
think everyone should at least give it a try. You'll be addicted in
no time ;)
