The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Thomas]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Gameplay on DB:I is very good. It's an expansive world, many unique
races with a great set of race abilities as well as ability and skill
lists, including a fully creatable signature attack which is cheaply
'bought' with RP points (given for good roleplaying) -- though, that
really is 'the trick' to it.
There's a large variety of mobs to go after, a huge universe
to explore, and the RP system is detailed and fantastic.
On the downside, the Immortals seem preoccupied and busy most
of the time, and even rather grumpy at times. Some of the players
are exceptionally nice and helpful, though there are a few I've
run across who seem less than willing to be friendly to a 'n00b'
such as myself.
I was big on Dragonball (a little) and DBZ (quite a bit) when I was
in high school, but my memory isn't that great. As a result, there
are quests for necessary skills that I'm clueless about, as it seems
these are expected to be common knowledge.
Additionally, every time I play, there are frequent times when it
seems as if the MUD is going through a 'mini-reboot', correcting
bugs or changes or whatnot, and is accompanied with a little
message about it 'feeling like it's happened before.' This can
get irritating in the middle of trying to stay alive, or being
focused on a task. If it were me, I'd put these off until the next
reboot, but it's not me.
All in all, on a 1-10 scale, I give it:
*Gameplay: 7/10
*Friendliness: 4/10 (though this could just be my own unique
experience)
*Variety/Uniqueness: 9/10
*Addiction Level: 8/10
Bottom line, I recommend giving it a good try.
