The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Anonymous]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
There are many things one looks for when trying to find a game. A
playerbase, friendly staff, a fun time to be had by all. And for the
most part, this game does have what one would be looking for. Of
course, there are a few tiny exceptions to the rule, but for the most
part, this is one of the best MUSHes I have ever been a participant
of. But since I am a good apple, I'll start with the good aspects of
the game.
Okay, first, there is almost ALWAYS someone online to RP with if you
so choose, and at most times a newbie can find someone on the
recruiting channel to help them out, which I really did enjoy.
Secondly, the RP for the greater part is great! Of course once in a
while you'll find a bad egg or two, but in my time here that has only
been once, and from people who are Jedi obsessed. Not being one of
those, I enjoy just using the Star Wars universe in ways that are
still canon, but out there enough to be original. The players are very
friendly and very helpful, and if you do decide to join, you will love
it, as long as you are not Jedi obsessed.
More good stuff - the variety of stuff you can find. There are
different planets, cities, shops, ships, organizations. If you want to
be a Republic pilot, you can find it here. Want to be a ship builder?
Not a problem at all. Evil on your menu? Be a pirate. It is almost
always possible. Just ask. You can't go wrong with that. You can be
affiliated as a civilian or with the Republic or Empire and still find
plenty to do. For the most part the RPA's are very helpful. Once in a
while they can be really stuffy and not seem to care if you have a TP
idea, so just a ask another staffer. Works for me, at least.
Now onto the bad. Yes, some staffers can be rude...just forget them
and ask another one. There are plenty to go around and there is almost
always one on. Don't be shy - they don't bite. And yes, sometimes
your ideas can fall on deaf ears. Keep bugging them - they'll give
in. If they're good, they can't resist. Spam can be an issue, but
not a big one most days. Once a week, like on weekends it happens.
Don't worry. In summary, you'll love it if you join. You can be
almost any race, any occupation (just not Jedi unless you're a great
RPer), from any place. Everyone can make an difference, but you can't
see until you join. Trust me - you'll love it here.
