The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Brock Stephens]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
I first started playing this MUD in 1998. I then took a ten year
hiatus and began playing again in February of this year. I must say
that there have been AMAZING changes to this MUD, however it also
contains all of the areas and helps that first drew me to Waterdeep.
This group claims to help newbies in their quest to get started, and I
can testify firsthand that is a true statement.
I have been navigating on my own, but every time I have asked for
assistance, Immortal or player, I have received nothing but eagerness
and willingness to lend a hand. The newbie school is wonderful, it
takes the time to plainly outline every facet of the world and how it
operates to a new player. The area helps and map helps are also an
added help to those who are new to the MUD. They are quite descriptive
and keep an ongoing compilation of your exploration. One of the most
challenging things I have found with any MUD is to figure out where
you can go and what needs to be done to progress, and this MUD pulls
all the stops in making that transition.
I am not fluent in code. However, I will say that there is ample
information regarding the improvements that have been made, and the
staff is eager to any new suggestions that are given to improve the
site. They also have a bevy of options such as playerkill, clanning,
factions, arena fighting, Hero Quests, and other things that continue
to challenge after one has mastered the achievements that can be
gained from the basic levelling and exploring. There is something for
everyone here and that goes from newbie to an experienced player.
I would invite anyone to check this MUD out because of the user
friendly nature of the surroundings, and also because of the wonderful
people that compose this site. If you are looking for a change of pace
from an established group that understands the interests of gamers,
please check this MUD out. It will be well worth your time and i would
venture to say that you will become a fan like I have...
Thank you.
