The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Snog]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
At first I thought this would be an interesting MU* to try out, i've
always been a fan of historically-themed games and all. I logged on to
find an active staffer and one or two PC's, but I figured that would
be about par for the time i was logging on.
Character creation is simple and not overly complicated, easy enough
to get approved and RPing. When I finally got IC, i discovered i had
50 dollars, and that is it. Items usually cost about 75-100 dollars on
average, so you're pretty much broke to begin with. There is no
paycheck system, so you have to badger staff for paychecks. Everything
has to take place between players, you are not allowed to get coded
items from NPC's... and since there are never more than 2-3 people
logged on, it is notoriously difficult to do anything.
The staff are not helpful in answering questions at all, they often
resort to using bad language to get their point across. The actual
historical theme is not what I thought it would be, a murdering outlaw
can be made the sheriff of the town merely because he is the only
active player who could really fill the role with his stats.
My largest problems are the lack of players, the attitudes of staff
towards newer players, and the lack of available RP. Heaven forbid you
are put in jail, as you are expected to serve out your time in real
life days, so a 3 month sentence is really.. a 3 month sentence...
RPing with the sheriff if you're lucky.
Other than that, it's a great place to idle on, maybe pose a few
lines every other week, but that's about it.
