The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Gilmin]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Ever so often it's good to go back to the start and one of the best
places to do this is the text based roleplaying game Dark Risings.
1. It's newbie friendly.
2. It has lots of great areas to explore.
3. It's always growing.
4. The IMMs are a great bunch of people, who try to make the place
run smooth.
5. There is a storyline, and definitely a theme, so Roleplaying is
made easier.
6. You can develop your personalities and enjoy yourself interacting
with others.
7. If you love PK then you will love Hevige Nach
8. If you love Roleplay then you will love all other times.
9. The guild system is excellent.
10. The trade system is awesome.
11. The choice of professions is ample.
12. The choice of Races is extremely well thought out and reasonably
well balanced.
13. The number of skills for each class is outstanding.
14.The experience system is valid ( the more skills, the more it
costs to level ).
As a mudder from 1989 'til present, I can honestly say I have not had
as much fun anywhere else as I have here at Dark Risings. You
are able to express yourself within the confines of the game.
Roleplay that hero or villan you have always wanted to be; be an
outcast gypsy, the walking dead, a noble or otherwise. Hunt the cursed
were creatures or be a hunted were creature. Hunt the cursed Hunters
as a were creature. Be taken by a vampire and become a minion. Be a
learned scholar and study the mysteries. Be a Lich and follow Syrin.
Be a Dawning and teach others how to survive. Be a Lawman and chase
the rogues. Be a rogue and avoid the lawmen The possibilities are
endless.
All I can say is give it a try. Dark Risings is one of the best ever
textbased muds and worthy of the #1 ranking here on Mud Connector.
