Everything about the game was great, The designers of this game were genieses.
Only games equal to it in design were Dark Sun online, Planescape Torment, Fallout 2, Arcanum, and bloodlines.
The designers of this game never got the praise they deserved.
darksun is fucking amazing, people might bitch about DS2 having bugs making it unplayable, but i've ran that game at least 5 times and never had a problem. long story short, git gud, faggots

I played DSO back in 1996 the week it launched. There was never a buggier or more exploitable MMO than that game. Most of the developers quit before the beta was even released.

Thankfully TEN had a flat rate subscription and I was only there to play multiplayer duke nukem. Dark sun was free to TEN subscribers but it was an incomplete game.

Dark Sun is a setting where you start at Lv3.
AD&D Lv3.

That is because only stronk survive in Dark Sun. If you are lvl 2 by the time you are 6 you are going to die, so anyone over 13 is pretty much lvl 3 or dead.
