The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Pascus]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
As a staff member of another mud, I needed a retreat. I came to
Forgotten Kingdoms after seeing it in the notorious top of the muds.
Forgotten Kingdoms deserves it's place there as well. It has a very
intense roleplay environment, as well as a staff that supports this.
The population of the mud is very helpful indeed, the first day I was
on I had a player offer to help me out and tell me all the ins and
outs of the game. Also, if you are big into the Forgotten Realms
campaign you will fit right into place.
The piece I love most about this game is it's faithing system. I was
amazed when I found out that the gods are actually played out in this
game. (The coded ones at least) Choosing your god can have its
penalties and benefits, it really sets you into a group of players and
may in fact make you some enemies as any other Political/Religious
based situation as this would induce.
Also, if you are that player that is about having things to do,
quests abound in this game to give you something to do when online.
One of the major things I love about this mud is its support for
group adventures. There are times when we should remember that we all
need to work together to get things accomplished and this mud really
knits together people (which brings out the rp ;).) And although it
does start out slow, it picks up because like everything you get used
to it.
The last and final thing that I would like to add about this mud is
the glory and kismet system. One word: GENIUS! This system allows
players to gain points that open options to play more advanced
characters. And a glory system that represents how 'popular' your
character is, by what success you have made by your accomplishments.
So if you are wanting to try out a great mud with great roleplay, then
check out Forgotten Kingdoms.
