The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Faithful Player]

Age of Alliances. There is no doubting the absolutely fantastic
atmosphere of this game. Since it has been in existence for a number
of years, it had matured into one of the best Star Wars games in the
MU* Community. This is because of a number of reasons!
The game is entirely versatile and welcoming to new ideas. There have
been original races, original homeworlds and other ideas added to the
game that do not exist in any other Star Wars environment. The staff
is welcoming to these new ideas and will help any player development
them into a great addition to the theme. There are dozens of planets,
built and refined to thematic perfection on the grid and each is given
its own share of activity.
In the post-Endor setting, the game has reached its own timeline and
carefully personalizes what is and what isn't in the galaxy's
existence. This gives the players their chance to write their own
events into the Star Wars universe and they do! We have had new
empires emerge from this, new organizations and new territories opened
up to the player and the staff.
The staff is also exceedingly helpful. With roleplay administrators
dedicated to each facet of the game, players are guaranteed attention
from the administration without much pestering and prodding. With
these RPAs, you also get the chance to build on your own story as each
helps you with making your mark on the game. The game is more focused
around the individual player-characters instead of the
non-player-characters.
The playerbase on a general level is very friendly and open to all
new players and guests who connect to the grid. Without a doubt, this
is the friendliest atmosphere any new or experienced MUSHer can
appreciate. AOA has taught brand new MUSHers things such as RP
etiquette and veteran MUSHers have helped refine the game to their
liking.
Hands down, this game is the best you'll find in the Star Wars and
Sci-Fi genre. I suggest it to anyone who is either a die-hard SW fan
or just a general RPer! It'll rock your socks!
