The short of what I have to say; this game is astounding.

Now the long of it:

There isn’t all too much that I can say that Negator hasn’t pointed out- except that the picture he paints of God Wars II, however vivid and unique, is only the frame holding this masterwork of a painting; that’s how much content there is in this game though it remains heavily PVP/PVE-oriented.

Tired of typing “kill newbornkitten2″ and watching combat fly by, feeling like the only thing you contributed to the fight was a few shots from the sidelines?
One of the greatest features about the game is the combat itself. You have -full control- over your actions, from clapping your hands to snapping your fingers for a spell, or running forward, leaping into the air and somersaulting over your target to uncoil and kick them in the back as you pass, then landing smoothly. Or maybe you like fighting defensively, such ass catching someone’s blade with a swordbreaker, then snapping it, disarming their weapon or countering with an attack of your own, maybe even wielding two whips to have strategic control over your opponent, ensnaring his arm and dislocating it at the shoulder while tripping him up with the other one.

No matter what class you choose, I can assure you no two players will have the same characters, as there is more customization possible than you will find elsewhere. There are 51 subclasses for each class, of which there are 6.
An example of variation within one single class would be a decent way to show you a -small- part of the game’s ability to let you customize your Immortal, perhaps Dragon:

One player may be a massive, Twelve-Headed Corrosive Hydra, breathing stream after stream of acidic breath, or perhaps he will infuse each head with a different sort of breath, or maybe he wishes to focus on tearing them to pieces with his multiple fang-filled maws.

Another may be a newly-awakened Dracolich Mummy, a Dragon so long preserved in wraps of cloth that its flesh has rotted away beneath, no longer leaving you as flexible though hardening the remains you wear to an extremely resilient material tough to penetrate. Through lack of attending to hygiene while buried, and the maggots probable didn’t help, your teeth and claws are afflicted with a terrible wasting disease known as ‘Tomb Rot’, so whomever you may bite will know the waste which you have suffered for so long.

This is just one class, and a tiny, tiny fraction of what can be done within it.

The best part to this game’s flexibility in customization, is that you can completely rebuild your character from talents, powers, subclasses, even stats at any point in the game, and the only thing you may not change is the Class you initially chose.

Negator wasn’t joking when he said the list is far from complete, as we would literally have to write largely a thick novel to describe this game’s features in depth.

It is not a “kill newbornkitten2″.
It is a macabre spilling of blood between Gods.
It is battle. It is War. It is real.
It is God Wars II.

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.
