The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Sebsis]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
First let me say that Gatz's promise of a cookie in no way
influenced this reviews content. Just prompted me to write
one.
This mud is VERY accurate as far as the CB universe goes. It
is a blast to play even for the new players who do not know a
lot about the show or the Manga. This is due in large part to
a very supportive Pbase and Imms.
The Mud is cool in so many ways it's hard to list them all.
When a player with a veteran char is a little rough on a newb
that seems a little clueless other players will politely warn
the player so that the imms don't have to get involved, and the
newb is usually taken gently by the hand and taught some of the
muds ins and outs and when needed basic mud manners. The imms
are patient, friendly (not like buddy buddy give you all kinds
of favors, but make your time here pleasant friendly). The
worlds are well constructed with plenty of things to do.
RP in encouraged, and from what I here occasionally enforced,
but if you want to hack and slash mobs all day, go fo it. But
if you kill citizens don't be suprised if a hunter or a cop comes
for you! It's not personal, and most are cool about giving you
all your eq back.
The combat system I have a small issue with. I like it as an
idea, you focus on your target and then every round requires a
command entered, but if you are a plagued by sudden lag you can
find yourself in a lot of trouble unexpectedly. Still this is
not a major annoyance, you just have to be a little more carful
and keep an eye on your health.
The stat system is a pain in my butt also at times, but that is
still being tweaked and tuned and I think a balance will be struck
that is a challenge and not a frustrating roadblock.
Feh. I'm tired of typing this. Gonna go play me some Bebop!
Adios, Cowboys!
