MU: Dark Awakening

I would write a review if I could stay on long enough to play it. Everyone constantly dropped and they need to merge low level servers so you can actually play it. Plus, if you win an event good luck getting your prize. They’ve robbed me 3 times. Funbags server 194!

I've only been playing for one day, so I hardly have a wealth of experience to draw on. But so far I'm enjoying it much more than I thought I might based on the reviews. One of the things I most appreciate about it is one of the things some reviewers complain about: the fighting is automatic. I can see how this might be annoying to younger players with an excess of mental and physical energy to throw away on a game, but I'm an old guy and I have better things to do with the energy I still have than to spend it working on a game that I'm supposed to be playing and enjoying instead of working on like a job. I have only been playing it for one day yet, as I say, and I have run into an interesting issue where, after many hours of play, I discovered that fighting was suddenly causing me to lose experience rather than gain it. My character was fighting away and I was watching my experience bar regress and the number go down. I've never experienced that in any other game and I'm going to have to keep my eye on it: if it appears to be intentional rather than a bug, I'll drop the game like a hot potato. But they are updating the game as I write this, and maybe that will turn out to fix the problem. I guess we'll see. But so far I am quite enjoying it. And I am one of the players who is very glad that my character can fight automagically. (You can turn that off if you want to, by the way, which is something I guess those disgruntled reviewers haven't figured out. But you can. I personally just never would. Sometimes it seems to turn itself off, and I'm like, "WTH??" but then I just turned it back on and all is well.
