The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Kettch]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
When I starting playing here it was my first SWR experience, and I
can't say how glad I am today that I chose this one first up and
have stuck with it for so long. At first I found it hard to fit in
with the tightly knit players and their clans. I would believe it
when new players have said they've found vet players hard to get
along with and such...there certainly was a bit of that going on.
But a year or so ago there was a Player-Wipe and since that time
many things have changed for the better. I believe it was one of
our RP Enforcer Imms, Seti, that introduced the 'Newbie Helper'
training and flagging system, and that has been an awesome help
towards making new players feel more accepted and taken care of.
I don't believe my comment earlier about this mud being a closely
knit group to be all bad either. There is definitely a strong
feeling of family here.
Since becoming a member of the Staff I have noticed more strongly
the close bond between some of the older players and the more
influential Imms. I am one of the few staff members logging from
a different side of the world and I've found this only serves to
alienate me more. I don't think this sort of attitude has helped
the mud very much at all, I would say it is its primary weakness,
if it has any.
Outside of staffing, I think new players will still find a few
brassy know-it-alls, and even a few ‘shut up and play’ voices
among us, but if you steel yourself from those sorts and give it
a go, you’ll find you’ve made some fast-friends, and some of whom
can actually roleplay!! Like I’ve said, it isn’t the most perfect
place cause not all here are perfect, but over the years I’ve been
around it has grown more and more in the direction of perfection.
