Review by Smaug:
Where do I start to describe the beauty of this MUSH (Multi User
Simultaneous Hallucination, a variation on a mud)? This piece of art
transcends text based Tolkien gaming. This is what role playing games
are supposed to be. This game isn't for the faint of heart or the new
user. This IS a hallucination. In Elendor, you don't just pick a race
then go out and hack and slash for points. This is role playing required.
A lot of fights are "Acted" out rather than using a system. While there
is a system, it's not used as often as most multi user text based games.
You can choose from a variety of different races, then you have to join
a community. My time on this beautiful creation is spent as an Orc,
based in Mordor. From there, I had to pick a garrison of Orcs to join,
in which I chose Minas morgue. I now am basically a slave snag Orc,
fresh out of the pits hoping to suck up enough and not be eaten by a
troll (yes Im serious) to survive to a real fighting' machine. As
stated above role playing is required here and it is very heavy. Take
heed, you might see some R-rated action here (Especially if you're becoming
an Orc). The admin. and players alike are very friendly and very helpful...
out of character. In character some may be dense Orcs such as myself,
or even uncaring Nazgul. But note, this game doesn't stop at Orcs!
There are elves hobbits, dwarves, and humans also each with their own
communities and lands, so don't take my word for it, try it yourself.
This extremely accurate MUSH is my favorite so far, and even though I
plan to do many more reviews of other MUDs and mush's and the like, but,
I have a feeling this one will remain the prodigal. My applause, appreciation,
and love go out to the people who made this game. Thank You! This mush
is recommended for more mature, veteran role-players/mudders. Newbies beware.
Start out on Mordor. When it's all said and done, this MUSH gets 5 out of
4 claws.
