The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Laura]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
There are a lot of things that can be said for Hell, but more to be
said against.
The world is interesting and actually quite fun to explore. The XP
awards make for some entertaining situations. You can kill sewer
monsters, detonate a small nuclear device in someone's house, or just
get doped out of your mind and trip out.
Sadly, what this place has in world and setting is overshadowed by
uncaring admins (who have been known to kill players just for fun), a
large group of 'oldbies' who take delight in making the experience
unpleasant for anyone newer that cannot defend themselves, and
countless 'balancing' tweaks that do little more than to widen the
power gap between the older players and the new, ensuring that unless
you manage to find some other older players to protect you, you will
be hounded and stolen from with impunity.
In short; it's a wonderful concept, but the execution needs a lot of
work. Don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting to quit within
a week.
