I would like to start out my review with mentioning the fact that I had never played anything even resembling a MUD before I was introduced to Adventures Unlimited.

This game is great and extremely entertaining to play. Recently there have been many updates that include new areas and new/updated codes. The Immortals and Staff of Adventures Unlimited are extremely helpful, nice and inventive. Monthly quests and games are set up for players to gain extra points, gold or a fancy item. They are great when it comes to fixing bugs, rewriting items, help of many sorts and making sure the game stays great to play.

There is a wide player base, which creates an interesting environment for role play. This stems from not only the wide range of races (with fitting racial attributes) and the large amount of classes to mix, but from the great histories people have made to fit their characters and fit into role play. There is always something going on, and if one applies themselves there is great role play to be had. Sure there isn’t a continuous flow of role play every second of every day, but that is because more people are busy with mastering spells, skills, questing, etc.

The quests are challenging, sometimes hard, difficult, but always fun. It took me a while to get the hang of things when I first started out, but after making a tester character and playing her to understand what a mud even was, I went ahead and made my main. With this one I explored every inch of the game I possibly could, and doing this made questing a lot easier. Not to mention if you spend your quest points correctly, your character will be an excellent full quester.

And power leveling is great as well, I have only ever done this once and reached the range of Hero, which is great fun. There are many heroes of each alignment who will go out on hunting parties to help each other level, as being a hero is a challenging task. But it is always great fun. The specializations I look forward to.

I have played this MUD for about 5 years now, and it has been the best one I have ever found. Few others that I have tried held my interest for even longer than a day. I suggest that if you are looking for something that is molding into a unique, dimensional game with a wide variety of players, this is the place to go. It’s great fun, if a bit challenging at times, and there are so many things you can do to make your character great. If I could ramble on longer I would mention them all in detail.

To sum it up, Adventures Unlimited is a great game and no others have lived up to what it offers.
