Description:
It is a dark era in our world's history. War leaves death and destruction in its wake. It is a time of depression and shifting social mores. Financial crisis sows suffering at every level of society. Gasoline prices soar, for those fortunate enough to own a car. Owning a home is even less likely. Bold criminals are treated as celebrities. Radical politics have become dangerously popular, and it is no longer safe to be honest about your views, your religion…even your own thoughts. Behind this grim Earth is another world, hidden and secret…the wizarding world. In this world of magic, there is a widening chasm forming between those that wish to continue living secretly alongside the Muggles, and those that would see wizards rise up and rule the world. These revolutionaries are inspired and inflamed by the words of a charismatic and intelligent wizard named Gellert Grindelwald. His followers increase their numbers every day, spreading their doctrine of domination over the Muggles through the simple mantra that it is "For the Greater Good." Wizard is turning against wizard, and tensions are reaching a boiling point.

The Staff can be a bit uppity, as they are a Husband and Wife team, the lack of other staffers can have it's benefit but in reality it more often or not seems like it is their way or the highway. The information is scattered across the wiki and mush, they have a +news system but do not use it, which seems to me a huge mistake IMHO. The biggest issue is not that it is in BETA or that the information is scatter but once again the lack of diversity with staff. They even say they are like minded on most things, the issue with this is the same as having a clique with Staff, no diversity means that you might as well have one person running it and you do what he/she says. They do not like it, it will not happen. I really do not see the two sitting in the same room debating things. They also have 'Office Hours' which I think is one of the most idiotic things I have ever heard of, as a staffer for 4+ MUSH in the past, it seems like they want to limit when they have to deal with player issues or questions, if the office is closed, you will not get a response. Sucks to be you, ask on the question channel and maybe you will get an answer from a staffer but you might have the playerbase try and answer the question, which can get fishy because the game keeps changing as it is in BETA. It has potential but I see the Staffer duo getting burnt out with the lack of relief that other staffers would provide, I forsee some players will leave, as they can not stand the my way or the highway attitude, which is why I am leaving actually. If you can not bend to your playerbase then your MU* is destined to die. Yes they have a discussion board, but really this MU* is New... Read More

I have to agree with this review completely. The 'Our Way or the Highway' attitude of the owners was one of the main reasons that I left the game, especially when combined with their ridiculous activity policy: to wit, allowing unlimited alts (each of the owners themselves has something on the order of twelve or so characters,) but then requiring high levels of activity to prevent characters from being nuked. Furthermore, they are extremely rude at times, in one case driving me out of a scene because of the fact that my character was, ICly, not happy. They encourage cliquishness, yet the only ones who are truly cliquish are the owners themselves. The owners claim to have had much experience as staffers on games, but their very actions belie this. I truly enjoyed this game in the time I played there and liked a lot of the people I did play with, but the two owners are driving away the playerbase...
