The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Angelyna]

I have to say, when I first joined the mud, I was rather excited.
Lots of races, lots of options.
However, even though it says it is an rping enforced mud, it is not.
Do not be fooled. Half of those people don't use emotes, for one.
Says are the only thing they know how to do.
Also, when I asked someone to clarify, in an emote, instead of just
posting '...' I was laughed and ridiculed out of the room. I asked
the players about it, and the staff, why they let players get away
with that when it clearly states in the rules that harassment is not
welcome. Not only did -every- single one of them team up against me,
they, the staff, -also- ridiculed me. Telling me that if I'm insulted
by such a thing, then maybe the internet isn't for someone like me.
That threw me over the edge. They told me, in a chiding way, that
they would post in the rules not to laugh at Angelyna. The person who
did it would be slapped on the hand, etc, etc.
They are very unhelpful, and will push on you to see things their way.
If anyone is interest in contacting me on this, I have saved logs on
my computer I will be happy to share with -anyone- who is considering
joining this mud. Just post a comment on here, and I'll be back to
you as soon as I get it. Happy roleplaying :)

I'm sorry to see that you were so horridly offended. You came onto
our MUD and were expecting it to be something it was not. However we
did try again and again to show you that the mud IS rp enforced, just
not everyone rps the same way as you do.
All was fine and dandy right up until you told the entire staff,
myself included, that we don't know how to do our job. At which point
you began wondering why we were becoming rather aggressive with the
continued string of insults towards our work?
Not to mention the chunk of the playerbase that took offense to your
words towards how they rp. I understand that yes, it can be
infuriating when someone slings a few heated words around and in all
actuality, it shouldn't have happened... however in retrospect, your
words were more than reason for not just myself, but a good deal of
the entire playerbase to become offended.
Best of luck to you in the future with finding a MUD that fits your
criteria.

As the owner of the mud, I would love to see those logs.
The mud is very much roleplaying enforced, and we have a say mote
thing, where if you're using say, and you put [ ] around your
actions, it counts as both a tell and an emote. A lot of people seem
to like that better than having to use a say on one line, then an
action, then a say again, when you can do it all in the same line.
'Also, when I asked someone to clarify, in an emote, instead of just
posting '...' I was laughed and ridiculed out of the room.'
What do you mean by posting '...' I'll like to clear this up, so
please send over the logs and let me take a look and maybe change your
mind about my little mud.
