The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Scsi]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
This MUD is rather sick. The character creation is ugly, the race
names seem to be completely random, and the system of gaining skills
isn't explained at all.
Aside from that, when trying to create my first character (and it'd
have been my only character) I was prompted with a nice box listing
rules for creating characters. You have to follow choose names that
aren't from fantasy books, aren't famous people/places, and aren't
two english words joined together.
Easy. I chose Scsi. OK, so it's an acronym in the IT world, but
it's no more effed up than the random letters and apostrophes they
chose for their very small selection of races.
After getting halfway through the creation process, I was booted back
to the list of acceptable names. I figured either they didn't like
Scsi, or there's a glitch in the system. So this time, I chose Sene.
Halfway through the creation process again, and I get booted back to
the start. This time I figure it has to be a bug, right? There's no
way that Sene breaks any of those rules. Unless they just don't like
girls joining their MUD, and want it to be a sausage fest.
So I tried Sene again..
10 seconds later a big block of text jumps at me telling me I'm
banned from creating new characters.
Grats guys, that's an awesome MUD you have there.
I hope some other newbies to your space have better luck, or you'll
have a hard time keeping up the pbase I've heard about.
BTW. Want to know how I heard about this MUD? One of the players/imms
were advertising on the one I play.
Like I said, sick.

Interesting... I think knowingly using acronyms for terms would be an
obvious reason that the name would be denied. The character creation
is actually very smooth and straightforward, with help supplied along
the way.
None of the races are random letters, none actually have apostrophes
at all. Human, sidhe, dragon, genie, gandor... small selection of the
races, they seem pretty obvious to me. In fact, there is no playable
race that is a random jumbling of letters. A nice change from other
MUDs, I must say.
Lots of females play Lensmoor. At least half of our players, I would
say. Assuming that you were booted for being female is ridiculous, and
just sends up more red flags (which there are many of) that you are a
disgruntled player with an agenda.
This only comes out more when saying you began 'playing' after an
IMM from Lensmoor came and advertised on your game. I highly doubt it
is true, and obviously added to your post as a last minute jab,
further highlighting that your post is propaganda.
So thanks for stopping by Lensmoor.

Our imms do not advertise on other muds. None of the staff would be
interested in such activities and we do not condone such behavior in
our playerbase.
