The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Sianne]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Realms can be at first a terrifying experience, especially since the
sheer mass of players can be a bit overwhelming. But luckily there
are lots of friendly faces to come and help you out, when you ask (and
ask politely, ;) )
A recent addition to the game is a class called Fathomers. I've yet
to see them on any other mud, but the theme behind is that of a
swashbuckling pirate. While there is still tweaking going on with the
class, it is excellent for peaceful playerkilling (I know, that sounds
like a contradiction in terms, but when you make avatar, you can
challenge other avatars to fight to the death in the arena!). I've
also personally been able to take hits from very large mobs with my
fathomer with relative ease. It is a relatively new class, thus not
completely perfected, and not yet widely used for running large mobs.
But, I have found it has many of the same skills as a thief, and a
few other spells that are good (laesa tronada is a spell that prev2ents
your opponent from drinking healing potions!).
Anyway, I wanted to share this review of a brand new class at Realms
of Despair. They really have different and new things coming out all
the time. Definitely worth a try!
