The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Rider]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Miriani is a Space oriented MUD, which is based on the MOO codes.
I've played here since it opened, the moo is based on old Star
Conquest MOO (1998-2005?) The moo is oriented to players be piloting
starships on grid like space. Space combat is not spammy like other
MOOS. Space is 3D, but it will not seem like it to anyone using the
ships.
Pilots start out with money for their first ship. In order to get
larger ships, pilot points & combat points have to be earned.
The worlds of Miriani are very detailed, but still work in progress.
There many things to do, mining (atmospheric & asteroid), couriering,
deep space exploration for artifacts, & doing missions against aliens.
The moo is designed somewhat to get players to work together
regardles of what faction they belong to. Though rarely do faction go
to full blown war against one another. It still beta so its still
being worked out.
Moo at current time (10/2007) is highly populated with near 30-40
people on busy nite. There is socializing here as again, being in
character is important.
I've enjoyed myself here, i know some of folks here from previous
Squidsoft MOOs that were producted (Star Conquest, GalaxyWeb, & etc).
This moo can be rather tough on people, especially the immature. This
moo is designed to be Player vs Player, as well as non-player related
things. From Shipwrecking players, stunning players, and also
ship-jacking.
This is not normally done to newbies, but it can be unsettling if one
is not used having players attacking one another. One must be reminded
that players in character do it. However. the majority of players
are fair and will help out someone in need.
Overall, its is fun and lively play to MUD if you're into scifi,
combat and enjoy socializing in character.
