The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Player] and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.

What in the world is the staff turning this game into? I remember a
time where it was a fun place to hang out but now everything has gone
completely mad.

Ideas that I had were denied until they banned me, then immediately
on their forums they needed people to play said ideas. Mostly, that
irritates me because they can't seem to be adult about anything but
that is understandable coming from a Mud Staff. That is usually 90% of
the Administration at any Mud.

TO be honest, anyone wanting to play... I would suggest you take a
look at their forums, http://www.dark-isles.com/forums/ , before
getting started. You will notice that they have turned the mud into a
taxed militant whatever you want to call it. There are taxes for
everything, everywhere.

The mud that I once new it as, was terrific... well... until they
banned me for not wanting to be their puppet. Yes, this staff is
particularly bad about doing that. I have seen it on several
occasions. From turning a player into a creature that is hunted
(without players permission) to placing a plague on ALL players. Now
keep in mind, they will say the plague wasn't life threatening, but
the plague was designed so that players lose health to the point that
a small rabbit could kill you. Lost stats, health, and they make you
suffer it for 2 months. Then staff wants to bitch at you because
'you' personally were fed up with the Roleplay and stopped playing.

Furthermore, I again would strongly suggest taking a look at their
forums, http://www.dark-isles.com/forums/ , before doing anything on
the mud. You will be penalized strictly by staff if you fail to look
at the forums and then accidentally do something they don't like...
like kicking in a fight for instance.

(The following review comment is the opinion of the comment's author [Another Player] and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff).

A couple of points to make on this. The plague idea lasted so long
because of certain people who complained about it being there, then
refusing to do anything to try and help solve the issue. Lots of clues
and hints were provided to players to find it. A lot of us worked our
butts off to cure it and provide cures for people.

About positions being offered, some of those positions offered were
coming from other players who needed a role filled, not from staff.
And likewise the taxes and such are a result of IC actions by a
monarch that is played by a player, who is not a staff member. A
monarch who was elected by the players of the game.

I was going to try this... 

Even if you are an angst filled idiot, (which I doubt) I have decided 
not to.  

Thanks!
