The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Woods Avalon]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Just like every other mud on the internet Retromud has both positive
and negitive sides. We get people who want to break rules, kill
newbies and idle players. We get our share of trollers and cheats,
and yet, they have not really done much to the game play iteself.
When a troll comes on we know that they came because Retromud is a
great mud. We know that when we even have the worst people coming
the the mud that alot of people do know who we are.
Unlike most muds we even have support guilds, guilds that help in
fights but they themselves do not fight. Merchants work with
equipment and weapons, the protect, resize, and repair them.
Alchemist enchant weapons and equipment with different elemental
powers like fire, lightning, cold, holy, or unholy.
Biomancers heal people and remove the scars of defeat. Bards help
chear on and enhance others who do fight so that they will do even
better.
We also, like other muds, have fighting guilds. Monks can use both
weapons or fist as they advance in the guilds. Paladins have shields
they can enhance to become even more powerfull than a normal shield
would ever be. Fallen have a sword that they can enhance and enchant
as well. We have Fighters who use little to no magic at all and a
Jomsviking uses both magic and might to win it almost every battle.
We have over 15000 rooms in which you get experince points for
exploring atlest 12000 rooms. We have guilds that can make and
maintain castles, chests, and castle golems for defending the castles.
Out of all of this, one of the greatest problems new players have
found is that this mud is not for soloers. I came to the mud wanting
to make a powerfull Monk, after a few years I saw that I prefered
Merchant to Monk and so do others. So why not come and see for
yourself, who knows, you might start Fallen and end up Bard.
