The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Bartain]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Let's see, I have mixed feelings about this mud. I will not say that
it is an entirely addicting game, but yes, you will find yourself
caught up in the leveling in such.
I have been playing MUDS for several years now though and I have
gone through about 20 or so MUDS trying to find one that can
actually be understood and fun. Finally I had a friend suggest KOTL
to me and I decided to try it out. The noobie area is EXTREMELY long
and yes, gets boring and overwhelming, but that is because of the
many different things this game has to offer. It took me many hours
to actually finally figure everything out. But there are so many
players willing to help out that it becomes not too overwhelming.
The game provides much diversity that it keeps you interested,
although there are some setbacks to the game. The mob based kingdoms
and religions take away the player to player interactions, but at
the same time it seems like it helps avoid countless arguments and
such. Another thing that gets a little frustrating is the amount of
time you need to spend questing in order to progress in the game.
But I mean there isn't anything in the world that doesn't have its
flaws.
Overall, I find it to be a very fun game where the immortals aren't a
bunch of jerks who use their power to ruin your game experience. The
players are friendly and its a nice place to play and also just talk
with friends. PKers can be satisfyed through the Bloodsworn system
and at the same time the people who do not want to PK don't have to
worry about anything. A lot of complaints are avoided and everyone
is satisfied. This has to be one of the best MUDS out there and if
you are interested in starting up a new character, think about
coming to KOTL.
