The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Casimir]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
I began my first mudding experience as a diversion
from the tedious work I had at hand to get my house
ready to sell and to get ready to move. The makers of
Medievia have made a fascinating online world that
remains out of reach for the new player, however.
The game claims to be friendly to new players, but
most of the game remains closed off to a new player,
even after a month of intense gameplay. One must
attain 'hero' status to even begin to enjoy this game.
My time in Medievia was not only a frustrating
'gaming' experience, but perhaps one of the most
frustrating experiences of my adult life. It finally
occurred to me that the game did achieve something
very profound.
It allowed me, a white American male, to experience
discrimination for the first time as a low-level
character in a world of petty 'gods'.

But isn't it same with most MUD games out there? In my experience
starting out as a newbie has never been equal to the God players in
the game... I actually find medievia newbie help programs and help-
files the most helpful and well explained to new players in any MUD
games I have tried...
I feel sorry that you had horrible experience while playing in
Medievia, but just commenting on you having bad experience with the
game is not the 'game review.' Your comments about the game could
seriously turn down potential players who could have enjoyed fantasy
adventures Medievia can offer.
Please next time when you decide to comment on the game itself, try
the game out until you have explored vast features the game offers.
Thank you.

As an Avatar, I can understand how Medievia can seem overwhelming.
However, we have at least one legally blind player, who is rising
quickly through the ranks and having a wonderful time. He studied the
Learn Module, asked great questions, and runs zones solo and with
forms.
It's a shame that your experience was a negative one. We have people
who have been playing for over 10 years, bloodlines longer than my
arm, and new players who pop in every day. And stay. You do not need
to be a hero to enjoy Medievia. We have a lot of lower level zones,
perfect for all levels, solo and formed.
For anyone reading this, try it yourself for a bit. Medievia is a
wonderful game, and I have made lifelong friendships while running
from Fire Giants or killing massive serpents on the high seas!
Read some of the Mudslinger articles on the website, come visit our
world, and get ready to experience the best MUD out there!
