The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Agent R]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Star Wars: Dark Forces is a game that's brought me back time and
time again, but I'm afraid it seems to have lost all the grandeur it
once had.
It doesn't look like there's been an update for months, in terms of
the code or the areas in game. The skills that weren't implemented a
year ago still don't exist and for a game that's listed as newbie
friendly, there is very little newbie help as you are thrown right
into the game and expected to find an area to exp on your own.
The playerbase has dwindled to a max of three people on at a time,
when there used to be upwards of 20 at 3 am. I was wondering why as I
played the past few days, and then my question was answered when the
owner logged on and began to rudely criticize my choice of names. He
swore, very lewdly at that, over the public channel and then silenced
me so that I couldn't reply.
The game itself is very fun, with a unique world despite its lack of
changes. However, the rude immortal staff and severe lack of game
updates has turned what was once a great MUD into just another
repetitive Star Wars game.
