The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Chonfa]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
The views and opinions expressed in this review are not those of
mudconnector.com, and are no way affliated. They are my own opinions
and views, created from experiances I've had while playing this mud.
When I joined AVP a year ago, I was overwhelmed at the complete lack
of newbie friendliness. This is without a doubt, the worst mud for
anyone looking for newbie friendly folk, ever. The staff, and the
players alike are quite rude and insulting on a daily basis. Turning
off BOTH race chat, and normal chat, was my only solution. Yes, that
is correct. Even members of my own race were beyond snotty and rude to
me, being new.
After I learned the ropes a bit, I did enjoy the overall feel of the
mud. But again, the players themselves bring this down in value. The
imms here are helpful to a few players. I've noticed if you aren't a
friend of an imm, you certainly wait eons for help.
I've generally seen a whole mountain of favortism on this mud. Clans
will insult non clan members repeatedly, and the mud itself plays like
a popularity contest. You'd find less Drama on an episode of Degrassi
High.
The skill system for his mud isn't bad, but be aware you'll be
using your hard earned xp points here, as both cash, and to level.
Yes, you read that right.
I would also like to note the other reviews I read of this mud were
misleading. I thought this mud would be a much nicer, more polished
experience. I realized why I was lead to believe that. Those other
reviews, were written by the imms of this mud. So of course they're
trying to sell you on it.
And I noticed the only other review that was written from an honest
to god player, was negative, as mine is. Immortals replied to his,
too. They'll no doubt reply to mine.
This mud has an excellent flow, and a good system in many areas.
Unfortunately, it's the players who ruin it; and a few of the imms.
I've noticed cetain ones siding with thier buddies instantly in an
argument, often with no idea what's going on.
I'd tell you folks who want a decent mud, to find another. This
one's trash all the way through in the end. A pretty park may look
nice. But when folks dump garbage in it, garbage is all you have.
