The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Andreas]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
If you're looking for the best Forgotten Realms (TM) roleplay MUD out
there, then look NO further!
Not only is the world HUGE, but there are numerous coded quests for
players to enjoy. Right from the very start you get to experience
the joys and benefits of such advanced code. The players and staff
are very friendly and helpful.
The campaign setting is very accurate to the actual Forgotten Realms
campaign produced by TSR/Wizards of the Coast. Roleplay is
definitely enforced and I love it! Twinks aren't welcome here. If
you're looking for pure hack-n-slash, this probably isn't the place
for you.
There's a steep learning curve to playing on Forgotten Kingdoms due
to the highly advanced code. However, with a little patience and
reading the help files, you'll soon be on your way to a highly
enjoyable MUD experience! If you can't find the answers you need in
the help files, the game has an active discussion board where players
can ask questions and discuss various aspects of the MUD. And
there's also the Newbie Council members who monitor the Question
channel and field questions from players.
Please give Forgotten Realms a try. I'd recommend at least 25 hours
of play with a simple class (warrior/fighter) just to get comfortable
with the game. I've had a wonderful two years here so far and look
forward to many more to come!
