The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Xavious]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
LOTJ is a phenomenal player driven roleplay environment that hooks
players by the sheer depth of the game. Before I played LOTJ I barely
knew anything about Star Wars and I had never participated in any form
of table top roleplaying, such as D&D. I didn't play LOTJ because it
had anything to do with Star Wars. It was quite the contrary in fact.
LOTJ actually turned me into a Star Wars fan and showed me how
rewarding a roleplay environment could be.
It has a wide variety of professions to choose from that may be
familiar to those who have played the SWR codebase, however there have
been several changes over the years that have expanded the game to a
great degree. There are several things to do whether you want to make
millions creating the best equipment in the galaxy as an engineer,
pickpocket and swindle your millions as a smuggler, make your millions
claiming bounties as a bounty hunter, or endure a life on the run as a
known criminal. The possibilities are endless.
The game has something to offer to both people who enjoy roleplay and
those who enjoy a player killing environment. However, PKers beware
because death is final and there are no second chances. I have lost
several characters in the past who have been involved in the shadier
side of things and to stay ahead of the pack you have to be quick
thinking and tactful. Though, the feeling of outsmarting your
opposition is exhilarating.
I have tried every class and every single class has its perks, but
regardless of class your character will always have a diverse skill
set depending on the race you pick. The game is very well regulated
and the staff takes their positions very seriously. You don't have to
worry about a corrupt staff here and there is a Role Play Council
(RPC) that is elected by the player body to help assist in PK disputes
and general roleplay technique.
I invite anyone to come try this mud out. I know if you take the time
to appreciate all it has to offer you will be around perhaps as long
as I. Our players are helpful and we always welcome new players,
because with a larger pbase the events of the game can get even more
exciting and crazy than they already are!
