The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Chizzel]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
When I started playing Legends of the Jedi two years ago it was a
breath of fresh air in the SWR world. The code was new and
exiciting, the playerbase was large averaging 20 players at peak
times. It simply was the best SWR out there. Leap ahead two years...
Now it seems the new Admins Orion and Anna have taken the best SWR on
the net, and IMPROVED it. The code is continually updated, marking
the most significant breakthroughs seen thus far in the SWR world.
I would not even attempt to delve into the new and exciting ideas
implemented, because I have only 10000 characters here!
The areas, though somewhat slow in being implemented are of such a
high quality, that it makes quantity seem less important. This by
no means, its a small MUD, its actually quite large, but LOTJ has
resisted the temptation to toss an area a week into the mix, instead
preferring to take a month or two to build a quality product for our
enjoyment.
The staff though small, and exceedingly busy developing and improving
the galaxy, is FAIR, evenhanded, and user friendly. The playerbase
has grown from the 20-30 people to over 40 on an average with a
record 68 trying to survive in the galaxy at large at one point.
The RP is on a continuing timeline, and is very intensive, just
shooting em up won't give you much satisfaction here. If you want to
enjoy your time at LOTJ, developing a charachter through leveling is
just a small part. Developing their personality and interacting with
other characters within the MUD is essential to enjoy the full LOTJ
experience.
If you are stuck in what seems to be a stagnant mud, LOTJ is a must
for you. Come by and check them out, they are truly one of the best
muds on the net.
