The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Jellybean]

Mirkwood is my first and only mud. I’ve tried others, but have
always ended up going back to Mirkwood. I started playing in 1996
and have been addicted ever since. Mirkwood’s players are very
helpful, its staff is very approachable. We are strict non-PK
(although we do have some arena options) as we feel that PK would
be detrimental to our friendly atmosphere. Mirkwood has changed
a lot over the years, replacing the standard main city of Midgaard
with Bree—converting a whole continent to Tolkien themed areas,
while sending our other (but equally fun) areas to a southern
continent. On the southern continent you can find anything from
a Rocky Horror Picture show themed area to an Alice in Wonderland
themed area. The staff has also added a very cool remort system,
lots of cool new spells and skills, and of course is always looking
for ways to better the mud! (This past year I got the chance to
become an immortal on Mirkwood and get to see all the hard work
the coding types put into it—I run quests and pick on the other
immortals… I think that’s my job:P ) Anyway, come check us out
(say hi to me!), we’re fun!
