The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Anony Mous]

Ah the review board, forum for brown nosers and gripers alike. My
turn I guess. I've been playing here for awhile, probably too long.
It is a decent mud, a pretty basic code with some unique features.
An easy and recognizable map layout, even with the wandering areas.
The rate of new area additions is pretty quick for a Mud, which is
always a plus.
Okay, that stuff's boring. Time to get to the stuff people usually
talk about. If you think this mud is perfect and praise it as the
paragon of all things MUD, you're dead wrong. Not to say it isn't a
decent place to play, but it has quite a few faults. And yes, among
them are abusive Imms, but you know the saying, 'Power corrupts.' As
bad as that sounds, the Imps, when they're around, do tend to the
worst transgressions. Granted, they should be probably have at least
two more Admins than there are Imp's, but to each his own. It's
really a moot point since the most common Imm trangression is
playing favorites. It happens everywhere. Of more importance is the
lack of Imm interaction between mortals and Imms. An Imm is supposed
to interact, they're the role-intensive members of the staff, there
to help provide structure for rp to be built on. Some of the Imms
are better at this than others, and actually do come out of
isolation. So it's not all bad...
Oh, as for Mark's zealous defense of the mud and the staff. It's
really the Imps job to defend the staff's position, behind the
scenes he's cracking a whip(or should be)...or maybe a flogger?
Kinky.
Okay, so there's the good, the bad and the ugly(Mark...kidding). All
muds have those parts. However, I have been playing this bleedin'
game for a little over 6 years, so it's has to be worth checking out,
but don't be prepared for a life-changing event.
Oh, one more thing. If you do come, don't bother trying to contact
Mark. He never responds. Correction, he never responds unless he's
banning or defending himself/DR/staff against an accusation/insult.
