The following review is the opinion of the review's author [J. Spurian]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
First off, Star Wars: Age of Alliances is the only Star Wars game
that I'm playing right now. Mostly because I find it to be the best
one for me out there. I've only been here for about two months and
have had a lot of fun RPing in the friendly environment.
It started out hard at first. I'm a really shy player and it's
often hard for me to approach other people for RP, but I didn't
really have to worry about that here. There is almost always someone
working on a plot or inviting people to join them for a scene. There
was also quite a lot that I didn't understand about how the game
worked, and not only were the staff extremely helpful but the other
players were quite friendly about helping me out. I actually had two
staff members guiding me through the confusing parts of the character
generation area, which wasn't that hard, but the thought was what
counted.
The latest scene I was in lasted for hours, and despite the fact that
I was almost ready to curl up and fall asleep on my keyboard, I just
couldn't tear myself away. Players on this game are very good at
keeping things interesting I think. For me, Star Wars: AoA has just
the right mix of action, humor, violence and politics and can go in so
many ways that's it's nearly impossible to predict on how things
will go after the next pose. I've even seen that a few major
characters have been killed off and the fact that the game allows that
much deviation from the book series is nice.
Anyway, the other reviews I've seen for this game so far have been
from some of the players who've been here for a while. I'm hoping
this will give people a newbie's perspective on the MUSH. Any other
new players will find themselves happily welcomed like I was and
seldomly lacking in someone to RP with.
