The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Arlena the Novice Archmage]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
When I discovered Evermore, I ceased playing all other muds. It was
too addictive! As a newbie, I found the built-in game map an extremely
useful addition to the game. It was the only game I had found with
such a feature. The 'Lands of Evermore' are extensive and varied,
constantly growing and evolving due to a dedicated group of Wizards
(coders). There are currently seven main towns to explore, each of
them unique in every way. Also there are many hidden areas, secret
islands, tunnels, forests, deserts and beaches to investigate. The
world is highly developed, with its own history, monetary system,
languages and unique flora and fauna.
There are six races to choose from in Evermore, from Elves to Drows,
and many guilds to join, each with their own skills and features. My
character is a Mage, but there are also Druids, Thieves, Fighters and
more. Whichever guild or race you choose, the game is well explained
and diverse, with extensive help pages and a good bug reporting
system.
The thing that I love most about Evermore is that it can be whatever
you want it to be - some players are very serious about their
roleplaying, some prefer to play less strictly and chat with the many
friends that are to be made in this world. Myself, I have made many
good friends in Evermore, wizards and players alike, and I love
spending my time helping new players and exploring the ever growing
lands. Whatever you enjoy about mudding, it can be done in Evermore.
Although Evermore is a non player-killing mud, there is still plenty
of 'hack-and- slash' to be had, as well as puzzles, quests, random
events and many different approaches to level progression. Whatever
your level in the game, you are always made to feel welcome - fellow
players often offer help before you even have a chance to ask!
There is so much to be seen and done in Evermore that reading a
rambling review such as this one could never give you a good enough
taste of it. Connect and create a character within the most friendly
and diverse mud around - I promise, you will never want to leave...;)
