The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Dhagor Mierin]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
I've played different MUDs for over a decade on and off. I tried
numerous ones but have only found 2 I really like. The one before KotL
is going rapidly downhill and I stopped playing there a few months
before I found out about KotL. Yes, you guessed right. The second MUD,
and now also the only MUD, is of course Kingdoms of the Lost.
What can I say about KotL what hasn’t been said already? All the
different features have been described already on earlier reviews so
I'm not going to go through them again. I'm lazy, so sue me.
At the current moment there is only one problem haunting the place:
lack of 'new blood'. It is a really good MUD with a rather small,
but friendly, playerbase and the IMMs are top notch also - always
listening to what you have to say and developing players’ ideas.
There is something to every type of MUDer out there. PK system is
separated so you have to choose for yourself during gameplay if you
want to be a part of it or not. Also there are quite many secrets to
be discovered about special races and so on. And by secrets I mean
secrets - nobody will just tell you them, 'You have to see it for
yourself'.
Roleplay is highly encouraged and greatly rewarded. Basically it is
possible to level only rp'ing... that is if you are up for it.
Overall it is a healthy mix of everything one can look for in a mud. I
highly recommend everyone to come and check it out by themselves. Word
of warning though... this place tends to become really addictive ;)
