10,000 characters is not enough to tell you everything this mud has to offer. The 7th Plane has been my home for many years. The type of in-depth customization that has went into this amazing universe, is beyond any I have ever seen as a regular Mudder. With extremely unique classes, all of which have intricate sub-classes, and sub-genres within; Expansive areas of exploration, environmental effects such as burning to death, drowning, lightning strikes, thrown by tornadoes, localized time freezes caused by a mage's paradox levels... There's so much that can happen to you in this game. All of the armor and weapons within the game are crafted by the player. Varying resource types and tiers, allow you to deck your character out in whatever you see fit. Wanna be a giant werewolf wearing an enormous hammer made of obsidian? Do it. Want to be a monk and go on a shark killing spree and craft your armor only out of aquafell? It's possible. Not only is the armor crafting system amazing, but there are so many others forms of crafting, embedding, sewing, forging, cartography, etc. The hours you can spend on this game are limitless, as you will never run out of things to do. Don't take my word for it. Come try it out. You'll love it. I've called this place home since I started, and I know that no other mud, however many I may try, will ever take its place in my gamer's heart. -Bylar-

My review and thoughts of the game 7th plane after 24 hours of game play over the last week. Frame of referance: I have played a few mmos such as WoW and Rift. Avid player of Wurmonline(100days in game over 2 years). For muds I have logged a couple weeks in BatMud and visited molly and the gang at 4diminsions several times. 4D was the first mud I played fallowed by batmud not counter several other small ones. So while I'm not super experianced I think as a new player I have a great perspective as a new player in a mud and crafting system. The client im useing is Mushclient(http://www.gammon.com.au/welcome.html). Gameplay is the first thing I'll cover then fallowed by support from the games staff. Initail impression. When i first popped in there was a section about refreances and thats about it bam you were in the world. I like this no academy( like the masterfully build in 4d), random signs to read every were teachng you the ins and outs of commands with in your first ten minutes of game play. Instead the instruction was more organic, learning things as they come up. I perefer this as it causes players to be self motivating and more invested in the world around them. Navigation:Automatically there is a small acsii map when you cange room and you automatically start with regional maps in your bag so navegation is no problem. Also on the site is a world map. Advancement:This some what goes into the crafting side of things but the key idea is you use skills abilities spells ect and that causes them to go up aswell as in creasing your base states. This is my favortite form of leveling my character, like morrowind. Combat:works fine for me, with features like auto stance and fighing stlye takes alot of commands out of your hair but still allows you to control your character in combat. One minus is seems like mobs move from room to room to quickly, this is why i choose not to become a mage. The time taken to type cast 'magic missile' mole would mean its several rooms away by now. How ever the staff is aware and i belive working on it, im not completely informed on the issue. Crafting:The game encourages the creation of armor and equipment in game and for personal use, I have not really broached this portion of game play as im till doing basic skilling up. I have created and gathered some basic supplies like hide bones meat and wood, also i was able to make a map. And you can make houses other buildings and boats, thats just what i know about right now there may be more, boats! Maps- Players can make maps?!? how cool is that and in game sell them based on the size sounds like a good way to make money to me. Also you can but maps from npcs all over the Lore-... Read More

Logged in after seeing the host and port on the forums. No room descriptions, got lost immediately, died within 5 minutes of creating a character. Much work needs to be done on this mud before others are allowed on it.

I didn't expect much when I logged onto the 7th Plane. Just another Godwars MUD. It has four classes (Werewolf, Lampryi, Monk and Mage) and a couple dozen areas. Then, suddenly, I was immersed in a Godwars experience like no other. Each class is unique to the MUD, with some familiar names and experiences to keep people comfortable with the transition, and the areas are free of any stock descriptions. At first you'll have to walk around the areas, but each is connected in some way and has some description of how to reach the next area. I chose to become a Mage upon arrival. I soon discovered a Mage class unlike any other I've come across in the Godwars-based realm. The intelligence attribute raises with spells learned, and the more spells you learn, the more become available to you. All classes feature different methods of progressing in abilities, strength and title. Mages can search the world for glyphs and insignias which can be infused with armor. Each class also has its own fun way to get classed. The MUD has a currency and crafting system that will keep you busy for countless hours, desperately trying to improve your armor - or maybe build a house. There are dozens of crafting items to seek out and utilize in creating a truly personalized character. Skills and spells have true value in their use, and don't just get thrown to the wayside. Each class also has access to their own skills/spells. Many NPCs can be talked to, either for items or hints to MUD secrets. The immortal staff typically has someone logged onto the MUD and answering questions - and they are always friendly and helpful. Really, the only thing missing from this MUD is you.
