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.
Let me start out that this game has brought me more stress, more joy,
more laughter, and more tears than any other game I have ever played.
I started playing this game when an old boyfriend of mine introduced
me, and I've been hooked ever since I started a character and just
marveled at how descriptive and wonderfully put together this game
was. I created my first character, thinking that 'Okay, I like RPGs
and I can type. How hard can it be?'
I was so lost, but the other players here are so helpful, it seemed
like I was able to get into the groove of the game in little to no
time. I shudder to think of how terrible I was at first, but
thankfully, people forgive and forget when you are putting forth
effort.
I personally have had to step away from the game time and time again
due to real life issues and sometimes just plain burning myself out,
but I always come back. I've bought some games for console and the PC
with intentions of playing, but never do because this game takes all
of my attention, though it is given willingly. I've tried to play
MMO's but they just lose their charm and appeal and I come running
back to good ol' Forgotten Kingdoms.
Thank you to the staff who have created areas, quests, roleplay
opportunities, and even just plain messing around with us. Thank you
to my fellow players who constantly keep me on my toes and make me
smile. I miss the ones that left us and eagerly await those that come
to join us. The longer I play, the closer I feel I have become to
everyone. I think of the community as a computer family, though quite
dysfunctional at times. ;)
If you are reading this, and you haven't tried the game, give it a
shot. We, the players and staff, love new people and we do our best to
help and make others feel welcome. The Newbie Counsel is always there
to answer questions that you may have, and they do a fine job of it,
let me assure you. There's always an adventure to be had, be it
slaying goblins, dungeon crawling, deliveries, or just riddles and
filling out your character's personality and friendships. I promise
that this game is worth it. Thank you for your time.
