The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Shem]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
I created a player and spent a few hours wandering around this Zombie Town mudlib. Here are my observations.
1) Good: Its not stock, and the IDEA is interesting;
2) Bad: However, in practice the Dead Souls stock mudlib has MUCH
more functionality and interaction than you can find here. Its
a Very Limited STUB.
3) UGLY: After getting badly hurt in my second fight, while waiting
for HoT to give me a chance to fight more, I went exploring.
It's Ghost Town, not just Zombie Town. Lots of objects referenced
in the long descriptions, but no actual items exist. Nothing to
see, do, .... zzzzZombie?!?szzzzz
I found 1 Guild (total), 1 Drs Office (which I couldnt afford),
and 1 Bar. I found lots of items, but could find ZERO NPCs that
would buy Anything. It's empty.
4) Recommendations for future testers:
a) Attack only ONE Monster from Full Health to get $$ to Gamble.
If you are lucky at BlackJack, you'll have enough money to
pay for healing for your next mob. HoT is SLOW, even drunk
& sleeping. (I spent all my money on food/ale/water .... )
b) Don't bother picking anything up ... nowhere to sell it.
(Although it was amusing to use Headstones as throwing stars)
c) Quests have hints, but couldnt interact with 99% NPCs NPCs.
SUMMARY: AVOID. Give this guy another 3 months to actually build his first Domain; then try it.
