The following review is the opinion of the review's author [George]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Once upon a time I discovered the fair land of Middle Earth. Here,
noble elves wearing burnished chainmail and wielding glittering spears
fought to the death with the foul creatures of the Dark Lord Sauron.
Across hill and dale, from the tallest mountain to the deepest mine
echoed shouts of triumph and screams of agony. Great warriors fell,
the faint of heart fled, and out of the carnage of battle arose new
heroes of all races.
MUME is an immensely varied world in which a player may assume the
role of a soldier of the free people or a servant of the Dark Lord
Sauron. There are numerous races and classes, with an immense amount
of combinations to choose from.
The world itself is massive,
stretching from the immortal lands of Valinor in the West to the
Forest of Mirkwood in the East to the City of Fornost in the North to
the Plains of Rohan in the South. It seems that building activity has
picked up recently, with Isengard, Rohan, and Fangorn being recently
opened.
While RP is encouraged, MUME is, and hopefully forever will
be, a PK-centered MUD. However, despite the fact that most choose at
one point or another to join the epic war between the Armies of the
West and the forces of Sauron, it is possible to avoid PK altogether.
MUME has a large playerbase from all around the world, with the vast
majority being friendly and at least somewhat helpful. As a longtime
player, I would encourage anyone willing to have some fun and try
something new to give MUME a try - perhaps the Land of Middle Earth
can become a home for you!
