The following review is the opinion of the review's author [freetorn] and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.

In the short time I've mudded here, I've noticed various changes.
PBase : I imagine this mud had more people on at once before I
started here, but it was a good number when I first started out. Up
until a few months ago, it retained an average of ten to fifteen
people before night, and then it was about twenty. I can't say the
same now. I don't know about you, but I think lack of activity is
boring.

And now onto class changes.
Mages used to be one of the most used PK classes in this game. Now,
they do low damage and mages aren't seen as much as they were. I
could say the same for necromancers. They have spells which affect the
body. What was the point to make the spells hit mirror images?
Necromancers weren't THAT powerful. It's a worthless class now.

The point is, why fix things that aren't broken?
The guild immortals used to actually RP with the guild members. There
are only two or three that do now. Being an immortal is like a job.
You are expected to RP and do the job you are assigned by being in the
guild that you're in. Having to wait a week to speak to an immortal
from a guild concerning whatever question you have is pretty
pointless.

The good, old players have all either left because they got bored or
were banned because of one thing or another. They were probably some
of the best players this mud has seen and I'm sure they won't be
forgotten.

And then players get slain for making a suggestion. For actually
RPing. So, it would seem that, by falling into an RP, one could be
slain by an imm who is on the same side as them, and would make a
similar decision later in the situation.

The morts are what keeps this game barely alive.
