The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Limbeck]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Well, where does one start? I have played LP muds on and off for six
years now and with having stayed with one mud that length of time,
decided to seek a change.
I came across Powermud about two months ago and haven't looked back
since. The friendly playerbase, the amazing selection of guilds, the
perfectly thought out races, the profession system and the superior
crafting system on this mud makes for an amazing journey.
The world is split up into the surface and the underdark (based on
Forgotten Realms) and each has its unique areas and towns as well as
guilds you may join. Whether you decide to protect the Dwarven town of
Kal-Thax as a member of the Honor Guard, become a master mage as a
member of the Bastion of Sorcery, seek the path of good as a member of
the Church of Kertaine the surface continents are vast with many
quests to complete.
You may want to become a worshipper of the Spider Goddess Loth and
summon the evil Jade Spider to aid you in battle, join the Melee-
Magthere as a Drow and kill everything that crosses your path, or
defend the town of Dunkrist as a Duergar Homeguard, exploring the
Underdark is both exciting and dangerous.
There are many professions you may choose along your path, become a
dragon hunter and then slayer gaining bonuses when fighting against
the mighty beasts, become a bard and find yourself an instrument to
play songs of power for yourself and your groupmates, increase your
combat prowess with the many professions that add bonuses to fighting
like the Brawler, Duelist and Sapper. These are only few of the forty
or so professions.
The crafts system is amazing. Become a master blacksmith and make
some of the best armor in the game, of course you may have to mine
yourself some ore before you do that. Take on the rigors of
Woodworking, Glassblowing, Cooking (yes, there is a Chef profession)
and many more. This is one of the things that impressed me most about
the mud (see if you can find the prospector and pan yourself some
gold).
Overall, whether you want to be a Gnome Illusionist, a Merchant that
drives caravans delivering goods, a Minotaur Mariner that can sail
boats to islands that are unaccessible via any other means, become a
priest of destruction in the Cult of Bej'uak or mix might and magic
as a Celtian Battlemage, there is something here for all. Have a peek
at the website www.powermud.com and see what else there is in store
for you, ya never know - you might even become one of the fabled
Psionics that have amazing mind powers but are so scarce within the
world.
Come and have a look, just 'shout' if you need help, the friendly
players and staff will answer all the time with friendly help.
