TMC Player Reviews: Legends of the Jedi

This comment is such bologna. The RP is heavily enforced, and that is
why you cant see the who list, is so you cant just go off and pk
people.

This mud in my opinion is the greatest star wars universe I've ever
been a part of, better than Galaxies the MMPROG!

Constantly evolving through timelines, constantly being fixed and
worked on and built for...

If you seek 'One MUD to rule them all' then play LotJ!

I dont care for this person's post, on the sole basis of
overgeneralizing things about ingame activities.

There exist a large portion of players who roleplay over 'use of
code.'

As for searching for reasons, I still believe that this again depends
on what sort of character you play.

If you are, say a smuggler for instance, and you steal from someone...
would you complain that the person you stole from sought retribution
over you?

There are noncombative classes here at Legends of the Jedi, which
make it far better than most muds I've found. Classes like medic,
scientists are some to name the few, but with creativity others can be
roleplayed. For instance, CEOs of companies, cargo freighters, 
engineers, technicians, rescue pilots, etc.

There are a lot of options here at Legends of the Jedi, which I've
found to love.

At any rate, the purpose of this message is to at the very least
explain to others that the above user's post does not override -all-
that happens.

I've been playing LOTJ for 3 years now, coming on at the very
beginning of a new timeline and I personally thought it was a blast.
I played long enough to look into different avenues of roleplay and
found multiple groups. The immship wasn't the best at the time, due to
some problems behind the scenes but that was cured and has now been 
improved greatly.

Right now we are in the process of implementing new areas to the mud 
and a new timeline has begun anew. We have our bad eggs like any other
mud does, but the staff is working diligently to cure that as well. I
as a player and RPC member(a group of players elected to handle
roleplaying problems and interpret the rules)of the mud in its current
state would have to apologize to this player but I think he probably 
just had one of the few bad experiences that everyone is bound to run
into.

We have a lot of roleplaying within the mud itself, and a lot of 
players that are really good at it. Please don't shoot us down over a 
few bad experiences.

I agree that there are some players with very poor roleplaying skills
who do attack first and RP later and it does detract from the game
experience. However, it is a small portion of the playerbase. It is
quite obvious from this review that you experienced a small portion of
the game and have solely based your opinions on that.

I've been playing for a while now and while I've seen the quality
of RP on LotJ rise and fall, it's been in an improving trend for a
few months now. Unfortunately, the way some players choose to initiate
RP is to attack until you are stunned, drag you off somewhere, and
then initiate actual conversation with you which is perfectly legal.
Also, there are rules that allow your character to be restored if he
is caught in one of the 'shoot first, don't ask questions'
scenarious caused by some of the poor RPers. The staff of the game
also work to correct those players with their deficiencies to prevent
recurring instances.

If you're interested in an SWR mud where the staff care about the
players and are helpful, come try LotJ. Give it a few weeks or a month
and see how you feel about a game. Anyone who has been mudding for a
while knows you can't base a game off of just a few days of play or
logging in on and off for a few months without any consistent playing
time. Come check out the mud and see what it's all about. Be your own
judge.

Writer has limited knowledge of the MUD overall, and seems to have
had a bad experience with part of the combat in the game and used that
experience to portray the entire game as a whole.

This is not an accurate representation, seeing as how LOTJ does
enforce roleplay and has an active roleplay council as well as
immortal staff. Players can't just run around killing each other for
no reason, or look for reasons to kill someone with their buddies, as
roleplay (and strong roleplay reasons) are required to permanently
kill or 'perm' a character.

On top of that most killed characters can log the incident and
petition the roleplay council for a restore on the lost character if
they feel that death was unfair or lacking strong roleplay reasons.

Roleplay is a large part of this SW mud, and always will be. Simply
cutting that out in a one paragraph review is neither fair to the mud
itself or the players that work hard to create a community and to
create a story of their own Star Wars Universe.

Sadly, this post is true. PKers or 'role players' as they tend 
to call themselves are present and team up to seek weak excuses to
perm other people.
