I have yet to see a review for a text MUD done by a reviewer as
opposed to a pre-existing player that wasn't pretty shallow and
bad. When someone might not even be considered to be out of the
newbie stage until 100 hours of play time, I agree it's pretty tough
whether you're a reviewer or just someone checking out the MUD. Not
sure what the solution is. I mainly go into MUDs and check out the
high-level features myself, due to time restrictions.
