The following review is the opinion of the review's author [nikonikolai]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
When I was first introduced to the MUD, I was fairly pleased. I was
quite new to MUDding in the first place however, and soon found other
SWR alternatives to the game. Many of the fantastic games I played,
would sadly come to die because of administrative issues or server
problems, and time and time again, I would return to LOTS.
However, recently I have been playing it more often and have found,
while other MUDs are updating and adding new features monthly, this
stagnant stock SWR is dying both in my gameplay, and in administrative
issues. The former lead admin is gone, they can no longer enforce the
more strict actions (backups are no longer available), and what is
worse is that RP has many possibilities, but the bulk of the
playerbase is trigger-happy combat based classes that spend most of
their time running cargo and killing mobs for quick money.
Everytime there IS indepth gameplay, most Immortals find flaws in
illegal bounties, unaccounted for player killings, and even going so
far as to helling or slaying players for destroying ships during war.
Overall, the game is a decent experience for those new to the MUD
experience, but falls extremely short of anything innovative,
creative, or even entertaining. I would suggest this game only to
those who enjoy chatting endlessly with the OOC feature, as it is the
only amount of fun you are going to get out of this dying MUD.
