The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Patrick]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Miriani is a futuristic space combat MOO. It is set approximately
350ish years in the future. The basic point of the game is, you are a
pilot and you need to acquire license points and money to get better
ships/etc. There are many activities to do on Miriani, including but
not limited to: asteroid hauling, archaeology, artifact hunting (deep
space exploration), atmospheric salvaging, couriering, combat
missions, mail deliveries, passenger transports, planetary mining,
planetary surveying, space salvaging, trading and more.
The playerbase of the game is rather robust for a text based game
(25-70 players on at all times.) which is hard to find these days.
Also there are several active hosts always working on improving the
game. There is a dedicated server for the game and I have never seen a
crash. The code is stable and I have not seen any dramatic bugs.
Socially the gave is very diverse and vibrant. There are power gamers
who are constantly doing activities to improve their characters. There
are socialites who hang out in their house or apartment and have
social gatherings or parties. There are also player versus player
oriented players who like to cause trouble. You can basically choose
to do and act however you wish, the game is roleplay enforced.
Player versus player combat generally involves ship on ship combat,
however there are also droids, drones and stun weapons which you can
use to give other players stun-time. You can basically attack anyone
else's ships in space pretty much anywhere. However, it is fairly
easy to defend oneself, so its not very hard to hold onto your ships.
There are three alliances with a loose diplomacy system. There have
been wars and many in-character events run by the hosts. Currently
there is a storyline with an ancient, thought to be defunct alliance
called the Confederation of Terran Nations running.
If you are looking for a great futuristic roleplaying environment
with a lot of great features and a lot of awesome players, come check
out Miriani.
