The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Lenzar]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
When I first played on LoTS, I thought it was a decent, if
featureless MUD. After a while I was PK'd in dodgy circumstances so
took a year off. When I returned, were there any new features?
It is poorly staffed, except by one or two imms who prefer to sit
there punishing players for so much as breathing out of line - the
rules are too restrictive. Newbie helpers are often rude to non-newbie
players.
Rather than go to war, people seem to want to RP everything to the
death, to the point where I grew bored and tried to incite a war
myself. However, despite asking a newbie helper and a veteran player
whether what I was doing was illegal and being told it wasn't, I was
later punished with a slay.
The rules prevent you from doing anything, especially if you're
bountied, as then you're not allowed to be on your own clans ships or
bases, or even on Coruscant (where PKing seems to be illegal), you're
considered to be hiding.
To add to this tale of woe, LoTS has the cheek to call itself 'the
best SWR'. I know there aren't many anymore, but even the original
SWR must have advanced more in 2 years than LoTS.
