The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Vainne]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Dark Lair is a quiet place these days. A lot of mean players have
idled and simply disappeared. While this is bad, causing less
people to be around, it is also good as it opens up new opportunity
for new players! We are definitely seeking new players to come
enjoy our roleplaying environment! Fresh blood is always savored.
There are four or five highly active players, and two active
immortals, who are all willing to help players out at any time.
There are several areas, and new ones are being worked on at a slow
but steady pace to ensure they meet the complete In-Character
requirements.
There are three main classes, but there are two subclasses as well.
You can be a Vampire, a Garou, or a Mage, or you can even remain
human with no class and roleplay out a villager if you wish. The
subclasses are Ghoul(sub of vamp), and BSD(sub of Garou). Ghoul is
one created by a vampire, and a Black Spiral Dancer is a Trained
Garou. Ghouls are usually servants of the vamp, while BSD run amuck
causing havoc and chaos all in the name of the wyrm. The BSD do not
get along with regular Garou.
Each class has its own blend of special gifts/powers as well as it
brings its own twist to gaining experience, combat, interaction, and
overall interesting RP interactions.
Some other interesting things to note are the forge system(not a
creation system, but an add-on to existing items), the BUILDing system
which allows you to create houses, mines, dig ore/metal up in them,
as well as form your own little hermitage somewhere privately.
Some basic commands for new players to get used to are, SCORE, LEVEL,
INV, EQ, CHANNELS, CONFIG, UPKEEP, EXERCISE, SOUL, and POWERS.
Some help files that EVERYONE should read so you can begin to explore
without needing someone to guide you through everything are,
Help NEWBIE, help RP, help CLASS, help WEREWOLF, help MAGE, help
VAMPIRE, help CLAN, and help CHANNELS.
Hopefully this was helpful to you and you might come check us out.
Feel free to ask questions and seek any of us out.
