The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Keith]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
I played Darkmists on and off for 10 years. It was my first mud
and the game taught me a lot. I learned what I liked about rpgs
and what I didn't. What always felt strange to me was that I could
play a bunch of MMORPGs and the works, but I always came back to DM.
For better or worse this is the only game to give me an adrenaline
rush, a sense of accomplishment, and to ever hold my attention for
any period of time. The roleplay is there and solid if you want it
to be. I've heard people complain about it but in a cut throat
world like dark mists, roleplay is not always done as tree huggers.
The PK system is fast pace and very dynamic. If you strive to get
better there are plenty of people that will work with you. If you
are stubborn in your ways, there are a lot of people who will
happily kill you, regularly.
