Legends of Terris for Windows

• Great game with lots of roleplaying story and history

  avatardJanuary 28, 2018

  Pros

  Frequent in-game updates. Helpful Immortals and Heroes (the staff, essentially). Helpful players. Powerful, customizable MUD client with regular updates and improvements. Active forum/message boards. Active wiki.

  Cons

  Not as active as games were in the heyday of MUDs. At the time of this review, the technical specifications on this entry are out of date. The publisher's web site should be legendsofterris .com

  Summary

  This is a fun game that can be played casually without the pressure and expectations that are placed on players in some of the more recent graphic games of the genre (i.e. Nobody's going to yell at you if you don't show up for the 6 o' clock 40 man raid). if responsibility is your thing, that can be obtained in the way of the guild master/mistress or guild officer positions, etc, but only with the vote of your peers. Everybody's friendly.

• Great Game

  ppierce77May 5, 2010

  Pros

  Great rp enviroment, great guild,temple, household structures, gain city, guild, and temple ranks. RP is encouranged and rewarded. Old school gaming kept alive and updated monthly.

  Cons

  None - the price they mention is an option you can also play for free

  Summary

  If you enjoy roleplaying this is the game for you. If you want to see what rp is about, this is the game for you. This game is a text based semi-graphic MUD, you should learn what that is before you coming here thinking it is a typical mmorpg. Thousands of quests, monsters, and huge game enviroment to explore. This is how it all began, some come on over and give it a try. Send Crucifix a TELL when you start the game, I will help guide you through the basic commands that will set in motion a rp experience like none you have ever known.

  Pros

  Cons

  the game sucks

  Summary

  heros and immortals are egotistical freaks, stay away :)<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jan 30, 2010<p/>lol...you are wholly incorrect. By the way, Justice temple is defunct, and the game still sucks so i would never advise anyone to play it, and fotunately i can say that till the cows come home!

• Legends of Terris is SUPPOSED to be text based

  sylvangaleAugust 8, 2009

  Pros

  Legends of Terris has is a text based fantasy game that's been around for over 10 years. The graphical interface is really a front end to make it easier to do things. One really can get around just typing text.

  Cons

  When you get up in age, it gets difficult to level up and on top of that it's very easy to lose all your experience earned in game play when you die. It makes the game much less fun than it used to be.

  Summary

  This was my favorite of the many text based games out 10 years ago. I haven't really played any text based games in a long while. My last Terris log in was 2006! My characters are still there. At least they gain age modifiers.

• Not worth $15/month....not worth $.01/century.

  modemholdemNovember 15, 2006

  Pros

  I liked this game when it was free. Now it is $15/month (as much as a graphic MMORPG). The game had approximately 600+ players on at any given time when it was free. Now that they charge, you're lucky if there are 40 people on during peak hours. The only "pro" about Terris, if any, is that it USED to be a good game. The strength was the huge playerbase and roleplaying community which was very nice...they killed that.

  Cons

  This game used to be amazing. Then, the creators got greedy. Now they just let it sit there on the web, raking in as much money as they can from the few addicts left. The game has not even been updated since they started charging, more than a minor change or two. The staff are rude. They don't use real customer service but instead insist on 100% always roleplaying and thus think they are actual GODS (even in customer service queries). So you have to bow and be polite or you get a smite or something. Run by greedy and socially inept British computer nerds, stay away from this game. Go spend your FIFTEEN BUCKS A MONTH on something like an actual MMORPG with graphics or alcohol.

• This is only a free trial which means it has limitations

  rpg-collecterOctober 6, 2006

  Pros

  I like their game description.

  Cons

  I went to their website. They are calling this game only a free trial. To me that means you eventually have to pay for it. It should not be listed as free.

• Excelent Throught The Years

  GageEndalOctober 28, 2005

  Pros

  Legends of Terris expands your mind to a world that you can come to embrase just as strongly as you did with the D20 games such as Dungeons and Dragons and Dragonlance. You enter a very strongly built game that has been tried and true for the last 13 years, and will remain to be strong for the next 132 years.

  Cons

  There are a few typos in the room descriptions and I would like to see a few more players to converse with. I remember back in the days when Terris would have thousands of players just lining up to join the guilds of their choice and adventure throught the night.
