Re: 4dimentions mud
The game is also littered with typos and weird syntax in combat. I feel like combat has been given the very basic treatment, and it sseems to be about 90% stock rom. That's not a game-breaker, but it'd be cool if classes played differently from one another. They don't. If you pick a warrior or thief class, you will probably be kick-spamming for your first few remorts. This is disgusting.
Oh, speaking of classes. Physical claasses (warrior, hunter, thief, gypsy, ranger) can't do damage to all mobs in a room. Priests, espers and mages can. Not only that, but it seems like the sheer damageoutput they have is far and away above the melee equivalent. Melee chars are a bit more tankish, but the overwhelming opinion on the game seems to be that you pick whatever of the non-magic classes you want for your first five classes, then finish off as a caster class. I had mastered thief and was a tier 4 hunter before I just dropped my account and left.
Some player s on the game (one named Maco, another named Kitolani) are actually quite helpful when it comes to non-questy stuff, and Maco was the one who told me not to worry about urchins. So it's not all bad. And some quests do give you hints, or lead you gently. I'm not at all opposed to tricky/difficult quests. But knowing where to even begin a quest would be extremely nice, especially in large areas (Enchanted Lands is the one I referenced earlier, with the deathtraps and all the items and such).
So yeah. The game is...how old now, and still has very simple-to-fix typos in its combat. It's hugely caster-oriented. Crafting really is interesting and gives an alternative way to gain levels, which is good because the grind gets very, very, very dull. But the tiny player base seems to speak for itself. As I said before I took off, there's a reason the game appears to be so small. Elitism doesn't work.
