The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Ghostey]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
I've been playing on Avendar for ten years now. In that time the MUD
has under gone several changes. The staff has expanded some incredible
new immortals, and lost some that were outstanding. The MUD itself has
only continued to evolve from the brain child of a few friends into a
community that strives to see things continue to work and grow more
then they already have.
The world is completely original, there have been several new areas
added within the last few years, along with classes, races, spells and
even the pre-existing ones have been tweaked and refined. While our
base isn't the largest out there, I think we have one that really
understands one another, and works well together. Most every story you
come across from other players are well thought out and are done with
a good touch of class and experience. It isn't hard to get lost in RP
here at all, and spend hours talking and interacting with one another.
As far as game play is concerned, the areas are large enough, and the
different story lines that go with each area/race/etc are detailed
enough that when you visit these places as a character you can feel
them as if you were there. NPC's interact with you, they yell
commands at one another in combat training and the amount of scripts
and progs really let the player feel the time and thought that the
immortal staff both past and present has put into this place.
Unlike some other places that I've seen, here there is a place for
almost and every sort of role. Loners, zealot goodies, even dark and
evil characters can find people and places of like mind and origin to
interact with and make a story line thrive and grow. With the vast
amount of races available and the skills and classes that each can
acquire it is easy to come up with something to fit almost everyone.
You will find if you come here to play that the base as a whole has a
rather wide and vast knowledge of the mechanics and game play of the
classes and nearly every spell and skill available. We have a global
channel for new players to ask questions, and a special section of our
message forum designed for just that. If something comes up and
someone is lost or needs help, it isn't hard to find. We aren't the
largest of MUD's out there, so this is a place where someone can
really stand out for the effort that they put into their play and
character alike.
