The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Impz]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Slothmud III is my first and only mud for now and ever. I am
not a very experienced mudder like most, in that i have only mudded
for three years and thereabout. However, i have seen many muds and
went to try on many muds before eventually settling in Slothmud. I
guess i have never regretted my decision to start mudding in sloth as
it has a totally different experience of gaming unlike many other
muds.
Slothmud as we have seen the small abstract is a mud where you can
combine four vastly different classes out of eight of them. This is a
very interesting idea as it can make your hitpoints, skills and style
of playing very differently. For example, a warrior will tend to look
for monsters that miss a lot when hitting players with higher ac.
Mages tend to find mobs that have low hitpoints as to blast them
down as quick as they can. Well, i can go on but you can see the rough
picture that very different ways of playing can apply. Not only that,
Sloth is not sloth without it's players as well as it's immortals.
A mud can have a lot of functions, but without any players, it's as
good as dead. However, sloth is definitely a very active mud.
There is often a good amount of new players coming in to try the game
and ask questions. Many players, including myself, enjoy helping
newbies and answer their questions. The close interaction that is
around the mud makes it lively, and newbies are always encouraged to
explore, search and find bits of information that will help them along
the way.
There has been always constant additions and skills to the game. Just
a week ago, skills like cover tracks, hedge maze, sharpen and the
likes are added. Often, player feedback is very welcome and is often
the catalyst to changes when the immortals deem fit. The immortals,
which i am a very new one, are often helpful as long as they are not
busy with things. Even if they are busy, they often will direct you to
someone before they leave you. New areas like the coliseum are
constantly added and there's always something new to find.
I will recommend sloth to anyone who is keen to have a challenge, a
place to enjoy and simply a place to get more friends in this mud.
