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

You begin play in the city of Palanthas within the world of Krynn. As
soon as you enter you are set upon a quest against the rising threat
of the once thought defeated Dragon armies.

The mud is not complete though have a great start and idea. Play at
first was buggy however Gicker worked diligently to close loopholes
and repair fatal and exploitable bugs. He and the other Imms are also
working to add in more chapters to the main quest line of the game.
There are only about 20 quests in the game. With a small hand full of
low level quests that are repeatable

Only real problem I ran into was that it seems some of the Imm staff
can become overly sensitive and for seemingly trivial things and are
quick to begin wielding threat of Imm power to enforce what seems to
be a tightrope thin platform for the creation of a less than savory
character.

The crafting system is great. It allows characters to vary their game
play styling that much more over the normal race/class selection while
allowing a more customized feel to the characters equipment.

The mud is turn based and runs mechanically similar to a D20 system
so it has the nostalgic feel of pen and paper. With it's gift
experience system, one can easily sit down a group in the game and
begin an adventure while also being able to reward players for their
involvement. Though any gold or items used as rewards would have to of
been obtained by the character running the adventure.

It's worth a look if you are a fan of D&D and even more so of the
Dragonlance series.
