The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Zaragoth]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
My history with Mordor might not be as long as some of the seasoned
players, but my passion for Mordor might be just as strong as them. I
started playing Mordor around 2002, although i have left the game for
a short spell of a year or so, its no denying that its allure is
irresistible.
Once you start playing Mordor, its like being enchanted with a spell.
No matter what, i always end up back there because its everchanging
and dynamic system makes it a new experience every time i log on. What
makes it even better are the players who are on it. Some of them have
been on it ever since Mordor started and everyone of them are friendly
and helpful. It's undeniable that whats makes Mordor such an
interesting place to be are the people and gameplay.
Gameplay wise, there are 5 classes which are warrior, cleric, mage,
thief and ranger- each with their own weaknesses and strengths. How
powerful you end up in the game depends heavily on your stats and
class arrangement making the game even more challenging and fun.
Therefore its advisable that any new players should explore Mordor
first before fully starting on with a serious character.
To make it even better, on Mordor there are remorts, a specialization
for players to follow once they reach level 70. Remorts consist of
knights, priest, wizards, strider and assassins. Just like the 5
classes, they are there to provide extra skills and encouragement for
reaching such high levels. It is because of these classes and remorts,
it makes Mordor a game worthy of replaying over and over again as each
time the experience would be different.
At first, it might be a bit hard to level up or hunt, but once you
get used to the system and make friends on Mordor, it'll become an
unforgettable experience. With an abundant of equipment for every
level and classes, it makes it much more interesting to hunt and look
for them. Questing is a huge part of the game, as each quest that you
complete you receive quest points and from there you can use these
quest points to buy quest items. To put it simply, it's close to
impossible to be bored on Mordor, as there are always events or
something going on.
There are also alliances/clans for players who have reached certain
requirements to join, and once you join these alliances you are
offered special weapons only available to the members. Being an
alliance creates such a sense of belonging as everyone within the
alliance will be there to help you whenever you need help to get
items, to farm or just talk.
The immortals/coders/builders of Mordor has done an amazing job in
ensuring that everyone has a great time and that the place will never
ever get boring. With new areas appearing constantly and contest being
held to involve everyone, its no wonder Mordor has such an alluring
charm.
Therefore i urge whoever wants to have a new and enchanting
experience with a MUD, give Mordor a chance and maybe like me you'll
fall in love with it.
