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

Hail! I am Vagnor, a player of 6 Dragons MUD for the previous four
months or so. Since the last review for 6 Dragons is bringing in many
capable new players, I figured I'd write one as well to perhaps
further expand the playerbase, and explain a few more details about
the MUD!
Most MUDs out there, as many of you MUD-hoppers know, are really not
much more than stock, and rarely have a developed playerbase. Due to
this well known fact, I didn't have very high expectations when first
connecting to 6 Dragons. Within about a half hour of playing though, I
realized what a gem I had stumbled upon. The first thing that caught
my eye was the very interactive and original tutorial system. It is
actually the only tutorial I have ever fully enjoyed and haven't
skipped. :P
Beyond that, the character creation and development is extraordinary!
You can level up to three different classes at a time, pouring
different amounts of gained experience into each so that they can
differ in strength. No one class can be above 8 levels higher than the
others though. It's impossible to give all the details here though,
since it is so structured and complex. There are other 'race/class'
beings too, such as Vampires, Mindflayers, Dragons, and Angels. Each
of these have their own abilities and attributes, but still everything
remains incredibly balanced. New spells and abilities are being added
all the time.
The playerbase at 6 Dragons is of decent size, and very active.
During the busy hours of the day, it usually has about 6-9 players on
at a time, which is healthy enough to encourage RP, grouping, and
other player interaction. I'd like to see this number grow a bit, of
course! Also, there is almost always at least one immortal online to
assist the players, run quests, work on areas, program new stuff, etc.
The staff at 6 Dragons is very competent and very devoted to the
players.
The world of 6 Dragons is fleshed out to now small degree. There are
many areas in which to level, quest, and find equipment. Quests are
very detailed, involving interaction with mobiles, retrieving items,
slaying specific mobiles, finding secret rooms or tunnels, etc. All
this makes for a great MUDding experience not found on most MUDs out
there. And it's always improving! Staff work their hearts out to
build new and intriguing areas for the players, and new quests to
supply us with a fun and interesting gaming environment.
All in all, I'm completely impressed with 6 Dragons. I planned to
just blow an evening playing a random MUD, and now, four months later,
it's really all that I play! I've made many friends here, and have
had a wonderful time building up my character, stat wise and RP wise.
If this has peaked your interest even a little bit, I strongly
encourage you to visit 6 Dragons and try it out for yourself! You
won't be disappointed.
