The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Kendrall]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
I can't give this MUD a favorable review. A very *severe* lack of
roleplay, minimal imm interaction, not to mention a few of the players
are habitual liars both in-game and in real life (for anonymity's
sake, they'll remain nameless, but if they ever come across this
review, they'll know who they are.)
I've been playing on MUDs for the last 11 years - and I have to say
this is the one of the *worst* MUDs I've played. I don't think I'll
be coming back to Dark Risings anytime soon, not unless the imms take
a more proactive role. Yes, I know they have lives, the same as
everyone else. I know they can't always be around to monitor the
various situations, etc. But to ask relatively new players to remove
their 'newbie' status once they reach the level cap - and it hadn't
even been a full month since I started playing - is ludicrous and
absurd. Two, there isn't any real way of leveling the playing field
between new players and veterans. Three, and I'll make this loud and
clear - I don't like people who steal and then lie about it,
regardless if it's in-game or in real life. Before any of you go
spouting off I shouldn't be playing any MMORPGS since I can't
tolerate thieves, I highly suggest you take a strong look in the
mirror, and ask yourself the same question on what you would do in the
same situation. If you say you would gather up as many allies as you
can and go hunting said rogue - good luck. I had no one willing to
help me take down the individuals I speak of, let alone their entire
group.

(The following review comment is the opinion of the comment's author

As the self-declared King of Thieves in Exile (No one can claim the
title to this day. Props to me!), I feel obligated to comment.
First of all, are you really complaining about someone stealing from
you in game and then holding that over to an Out of Character grudge?
As the most prolific thief that game has ever known (Know anyone else
who forced the steal coding to be recoded? Didn't think so!), suck it
up. Instead of complaining no one would help you, work with your
skill-set, figure out how the fighting mechanics work, and go bust
some heads yourself. It's not that hard, really.
Let me tell you a little tale. When I first started at DR about 9
years or so ago, I ran into a little problem. Someone auctioned
something, and I won. When I went to pay, I was knocked unconscious,
and looted. Rightfully so, I got kind of angry. Now here's the trick.
I focused that anger (and my natural Scorpio love of Vengeance) and
learned how to fight. Long story short, I went and killed the
perpetrator, and launched my own campaign of wanton theft, carnage,
and general good times. I rode that wave to the top, eventually
becoming arguably the Mortal Leader of Crimson Rain. If I wasn't the
ML, I was at least the IMMs designated hunter/killer.
Suck it up. Learn to fight. Get your vengeance. Dance on a corpse.
'Nuff Said
Yes, The Ghost of Elminars just wrote a positive comment. Imagine.
