The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Drakon]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Ancient Anguish...all I can say is this mud is perfect. Instead of
making a bunch of stupid classes like Death KNIGHT! or Hell angel or
anything like that, it has taken all the basic classes such as
Fighter, Mage, Rogue(not supposed to know about these), Cleric,
Paladin, Necromancer, Ranger, and I have a feeling I might be missing
one. But at any rate, they have taken the basic classes and made the
skills not only extremely interesting and versatile, but worthwhile.
You won't max your character out in a day, or in a week, it will take
time, but the entire timeline from when you start is extremely fun.
When you do max out your stats and levels, the fun doesn't stop.
There are so many different things you can work on, be it guild-
specific by raising the amount of Karma you have, or being the best
explorer in the realms. If you only have an hour or two to play the
mud, it's still worthwhile, heck, a couple mins is worthwhile.
I would try to list all the things Anguish has, but lets just say it's
taken them 11 years to accomplish what they have. It's huge, and every
room you're in probably has some smaller details, that could lead to
other things.
The player base is large and constant. You might not get to know
those who are from the other guilds in the realms, and if
you're in some guilds you might already have a general dislike for
them.
These are the fun times of Ancient Anguish, its one of the only
truly exciting muds out there, and with the wizards that are
extremely strict against helping any players, players cheating,
etc... You can guarantee that it will stay this way.
