The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Walldo]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Many of the earlier posts discuss player and immortal hostility,
corrupt staff members abusing their abilities, etc. etc. I'm pleased
to say that these problems have ALL been dealt with. Orion has gone a
LONG way to improving newbie friendliness. All staff members who have
created problems in the past are now gone, and there are now stringent
rules governing immortal behavior. If you violate the immortal
agreement, you can kiss your position goodbye.
Orion adds new features, quite literally, on a weekly basis. In the
last few weeks he put in newly-revamped pturrets, the aiming ability,
wounds, and the TIPS system. The MUD is in the process of switching
from the 'Old Republic' to the 'Empire' time frames and the Sith
Empire has recently been introduced, so the roleplaying opprotunities
and events have just increased tenfold.
The staff is constantly trying to make the mud as newbie-friendly as
possible. This ranges from a large project involving overhauling ALL
the mud's helpfiles to being more receptive on OOC and immchat. You
will find asshats and smart mouths on any mud, and LOTJ is no
exception. Newbies may be intimidatd at first by these players, but
the immortals are starting to crack down on players being rude to
newbies. New players should keep in mind that most people are idiots,
and they shouldn't be discouraged by the obnoxious behavior of a
small percentage of the playerbase.
