The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Liatha]

Awakened worlds is one of the most entertaining muds I have ever had
the pleasure of playing on. It has a large playerbase and during its
peak time has anywhere from 10-40 people on at any given time, so
there’s always someone to interact with and give you help where
needed. The mud is newbie friendly in that dark shadow run kind of way
and most of the mortals have a decent sense of humour. This is a game
where you can choose to be most anything your imagination will allow,
from a powerful spell slinging mage to a lowly corporate programmer or
if you prefer to avoid fighting and simply hunt things down you could
always try for a job as a fixer and simply acquire items to sell to
other interested party’s for your cut. The possibilities are infinite.
The head coder Che is quite possibly insane, I have heard of dedicated
individuals but he’s something else entirely. Day in, day out, he’s
always adding. I am yet to see him take a break in the four or so
years he has been head coder for the Awake Code base. While the
builders are a little slow for the moment its because they have
recently hired a new crop who seem to be learning the systems at a
fairly steady pace. I have been playing on a shadow run mud in one
form or another for almost a decade now, there aren’t many muds with
that kind of interest holding power. So if you’re looking for
something that actually grows and improves with time while still
holding true to the shadow run third edition rules come on by and have
a look.
