The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Bryn]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
I started playing The Gathering back in late 2005.. I remember almost
clearly, because at the time I had extreme difficulty in finding my
way around, and finding areas to fight mobs and gain levels in. The
help offered to me was vague at best, 'go on the ships', people
would tell me. As a new player, I hadn't the foggiest idea what they
were talking about.
Over several months, I created and deleted several times, either out
of boredom or frustration, sometimes both. However, I would always
return, drawn by the lure of fascinating roleplay.
Overall, I would say The Gathering has a steep learning curve, but
if people are willing to ask, currently there is a very willing and
helpful playerbase and staff on hand to answer whatever questions
new players may ask. The immortals are beyond fair when dealing
with troublemakers, and incidents are generally kept on the down
low - aside from the occasional troublemaker who is swiftly
silenced - privacy is taken very seriously.
The roleplay atmosphere here is fantastic. Of course you will have
your little handful of god-modders, but that is kept to a minimum,
most everyone pitches in to see to that. However, roleplay is
generally sensible and enjoyable, with lots of juicy background
detail.
Please, stop in and find out for yourself why The Gathering is
among the top 100 muds!
