Re: Carrion Fields

I think I remember DarkHeart II, but I was never a huge fan of GodWars. I play MUDs more for the RP. Also, no need to read quests because, while their are some automated ones to be found, they aren't a very big factor of the game. Really only used to gain some experience when you can't find a group ...

Carrion Fields

A text-based multiplayer. One of the few still left alive, and easily the best imo. The main feature I like about this game aside from the enforced-RP and highly PK-oriented gameplay, is that everyone dies eventually.

Characters live a number of hours based on their race, though people who manage ...

Heavy armor a waste too?

I was under the impression more skill in heavy armor = more damage reduction. Is this not true?

Thanks

That is exactly the type of answer I was looking for. As for replayability, I really like that too. It seems rare to me to see such a well done RPG with actual replayability. I have lots of ideas for future characters already and I eagerly anticipate finishing Book I so I can try Book II.

Thanks ...

Best game I have played in a loooong time + Question

I generally don't bother buying games anymore, because they are all too easy, have 0 depth, and text-based MUDs are the only thing I find myself enjoying. I'm very glad I stumbled upon this amazing gem of a game.

I think I'm about half-way done with Book 1 after my Sunday veg-fest. The fact that ...
