The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Anan Z]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Unlike many other reviews, I won’t speak of myself (I rule,
you don’t, end of story), nor tell you how wonderful the
staff is (though they give these wonderful foot massages
every Tuesday, and the back rubs...They must have taken a
special course for that). Nor I will tell you how great the
other players are (nasty schemers, probably plotting behind
my back right now).
What I will tell is that: First let me start by saying that
if you’re in for the hack ‘n slash game like D&D, where
your game play aspirations could be summarized as “I just
killed a dragon and got a trillion gazillion XP”,
please, turn back and run.
If you want your character to be some-/thing/ (best
warrior/mage/… etc), I don’t think it’s the right mud for
you. If on the other hand, you want your character to be
some-/one/, by all means, please read on.
If, and only if, you’re looking for tons of /roleplaying/
in the purest sense of the word, if you feel so attached to
the character you create that it could make you feel anger,
hate, happiness and any other possible emotion as if your
character is an actual part of you, if you enjoy one on one
roleplaying – be it two lovers or two assassins plotting a
murder as much as you enjoy roleplaying as part of a group,
I have a door for you to step through.
Shadow Siege will allow you to create a character, which by
definition of the world will be first and foremost a
/personality/ in this world. Now, instead of raving on and
on about how wonderful Shadow Siege is, I’ll give you one
little link. It’s a link to the ‘Blogs of Roleplay’ of
some of the players, you could see just how seriously
people take their character in Shadow Siege. If you like
what you see and feel you can and want to be a part of it,
WELCOME.
