I can't give this MUD a favorable review. A very *severe* lack of roleplay, minimal imm interaction, not to mention a few of the players are habitual liars both in-game and in real life (for anonymity's sake, they'll remain nameless, but if they ever come across this review, they'll know who they are.)

I've been playing on MUDs for the last 11 years - and I have to say this is the one of the *worst* MUDs I've played. I don't think I'll be coming back to Dark Risings anytime soon, not unless the imms take a more proactive role. Yes, I know they have lives, the same as everyone else. I know they can't always be around to monitor the various situations, etc. But to ask relatively new players to remove their 'newbie' status once they reach the level cap - and it hadn't even been a full month since I started playing - is ludicrous and absurd. Two, there isn't any real way of leveling the playing field between new players and veterans. Three, and I'll make this loud and clear - I don't like people who steal and then lie about it, regardless if it's in-game or in real life. Before any of you go spouting off I shouldn't be playing any MMORPGS since I can't tolerate thieves, I highly suggest you take a strong look in the mirror, and ask yourself the same question on what you would do in the same situation. If you say you would gather up as many allies as you can and go hunting said rogue - good luck. I had no one willing to help me take down the individuals I speak of, let alone their entire group.
