The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Laume] and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.

When I read that it was newbie friendly I figured I'd give it a
chance thinking at least I wouldn't be tossed into empty space with
no clue or help to learn.  Boy was I wrong! I wandered, with no help
whatsoever, and then when I explained I didn't understand something,
I got snubbed. No help, newbie friendly is not what I'd call it at
all. So unless you know everything forwards and backwards or have a
friend there that does, don't expect to be treated 'friendly'.

Ar is a mud where you actually have to spend time to learn things.
What would be the point in even playing if you know everything there
is to know in a week. Most of the important things you learn in the
tower of knowledge(mud school), but you have to actually look
at the room descriptions, read the signs and actually devote some of
your so very precious time. After learning the easy things and at
level 5 or so, you go out the first time. Probably even before, you
will be approached by a guide immortal asking if you need help. You
don't say 'k, im a n00b,w-l u get me eqs?' No! As it has been stated
before, this is a rp enforced mud.'(If you do so, the imm will
probably tell you to start rping or whatever) You pay attention and
learn the things he/she teaches you. Since this is also a hardcore pk
mud, you shouldn't rank over level 9. You stop there and try to learn
as much as you can...

P.S. This might not be the easiest mud around, but if you get good at
it, you will most likely turn away from anything else, 'cause this
mud will rock you out of your socks.
