The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Prodigal]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
About 8 years ago, my brother showed me RoninMUD. I had never played
a MUD before, but I have kept playing ever since. Over the years I
have also tried other muds, but I have never found one as appealing to
me as RoninMUD and have therefore never been away from Ronin for more
than a few months at a time.
So, what makes RoninMUD a great MUD:
Ronin has been around for over 15 years now, and through the great
work of solid coders and enthusiastic area builders, it has become a
large MUD with many areas to explore, many skills and spells to
master, many puzzles to solve and many features to use. The fact that
Ronin is a diverse MUD where you don't have to do the exact same
things over and over again, but instead let you choose what you feel
like doing, is in my opinion one of Ronins greatest strengths.
The 10 different classes of Ronin, with each their own strengths and
unique subclass paths to pursue, and the possiblity to play up to 3
characters at a time make Ronin a MUD that suits many different player
styles and preferences. So whether you prefer spellcasters or you'd
rather have high melee damage and a beefy tank, you should be able to
find a combination of classes that would satisfy your needs. Or you
can choose to play a solo character, if that is more to your liking.
If you also would like to contribute to the mud by helping us expand
our MUD with new areas or features, our Online Creation system and
versatile code base makes your imagination the only boundary of
creativity.
So, if you are looking for a new MUD to play, or if you are a newbie
looking for a friendly place to start, please log in and try it out.
