The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Jeshin]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
The Sea of Storms has been an interesting place to spend my mudding
life. I started there shortly after my hack n slash days as a mute
channeler who got a job as a barkeep and musician at a popular inn in
Cairhien. I'd never played a MUD that had a place in its Roleplay
enviroment for a unique character that couldn't speak and was also
afflicted with the slow approach of insanity [caused from being a
Male channeler]
From my mute character I ended up playing several others including:
Aes Sedai, Whitecloaks, Tinkers, Craftsmen, Weapon Master, etc.
Anything from the books or anything a player can think of to roleplay
that is within theme is possible.
The staff was normally helpful when I was a player. I sometimes felt
they were holding me back and during my more rebellious years there I
did some mild policy violations. Still I learned the staff was just
trying to preserve the concept of the MUD and not so much hold me
back as guide me down a much more reasonable path.
Eventually I became a staffer myself and got to run some very fun
events. Stuff like the borderlands attempting to retake Malkier,
Searching for the Horn of Valere, and murder mysteries. Would be just
a few of the events that a player can experience on The sea of Storms.
The RP opportunity isn't the only bonus on the sea of storms. The
code aspect is also amazingly involved. We have over 200 weapon forms
for sword, axe, staff, dagger, spear, ashandarei. With also have over
90 unique weaves for our magic system. This combined with a mostly
classless system that is instead replaced with a talents based system
allowing for high levels of character customization.
Overall it's been a great 8 years and with my new position as head of
PR. I hope to have another great 8 years with new players from the
Mudconnect community.
