Hdn't heard of it before but being a bit of an audio game buff, I'll go check it out. :)

This is not an audio game, it is a mud.
I tried it out for a while, and ended up not liking it very much. I will list my reasons why below:
1. It's still mostly in development, and has a long way to go.
2. This should've probably been the number one reason, but this game is not very newbie friendly, so I would advise anyone who is not familiar with the world of muds to give this game a tackle.
3. Some of the things in this mud are rather unnecessarily complex, requiring you to enter in strings of several commands almost all at once to do a simple task. Granted, a lot of that complexity can be scripted, since this game permits such, but I will assume that a lot of the people who are trying this game out don't know how to make any of these scripts for themselves.
4. Whoever's job it is to update the site, they do a very sucky job at it. I don't think it's received any new updates from the day I first started playing the game.

All of that being said, the game has a few neat features. Also, I stress again, it's still in development. So, hopefully a lot of the gripes that I have towards it may change in the future, if they have not changed already.

the website does need updating, and in truth every mud is still in development if they are adding things to it.
