Comment: I agree with most of what is being said here. The worst of the admin is Miranda. I spent over a year emailing her with an issue and I never once got a reply. She is rude and arrogant and unless you are one of her little pets, you have no chance. She banned one of my friends for having more than one account, but a lot of people I know have more than one account, so why pick on her. I have also been warned for stupid things like " act non insane " How do you act non insane anyway, and does that mean that insane people are not allowed to play? Miranda is always warning me for random things, and I know it's her because there is never ever anyone else around to see what I'm doing, and you are never given the chance to defend yourself. It is pathetic, she needs to get a life, grow up and let us have fun. It is a game after all we are there to have fun and enjoy ourselves.
The admin seriously need to think about what they are doing to people because people won’t put up with it forever. The only reason I still go there sometimes is because I have made a few really good friends. I have also lost a few really good friends because of Miranda banning them for no good reason.

Comment: Well after making the mistake of giving this game yet another chance thinking it can't get any worse it leaves you with more and more surprises on how lousy it really is , the admin and constables are more pompus and arrogant over power they really wish they had , its really hard to believe that someone out there is making or trying to make a crap lousy version of this game forgot the name of it though so it must not be that important , don't waste your money on nobility its a waste of $7 a month besides they're not too picky about who they have top their stature list .

Comment: Why oh Why do I return to DG daily? It's something to do and I enjoy my RP friends. I am in TOTAL agreeance with a few of these posts here. DG Admin, I hope you're reading this: You make the game an oppressed, non-creative environment. You are clearly letting the game degrade. Your constables are obviously hypocrites. I get warnings for things in my profile where other players DO NOT. Tell me what the deal is with GAME RULE # 5? There are profile violations going on THAT ARE NOT... ARE NOT listed in the rules. The RULES, Ben, ARE NOT clear. In addition , DG Admin (Yes, you, BEN) You're grubbly, slimely little finger is a bit too trigger happy on the DELETE key when you go off banning ppl for no apparent reason **holds hand to ear** Oh? What's that? "They broke the rules"? What? WHAT CLEAR AND DEFINED RULES, Ben? What rule? Oh, the one you made up that day?? What have you got a 20 sided die with random rules THAT ARE NOT POSTED that you're going to ban ppl for? I hate you **smiles broadly**

Comment: I was breezing past once more, and I happened to notice the comment left by RP Fanatic, and it made me giggle. I gave the game another try a few months back, a quick IP address change, no problem. More people have been banned, there are whole DG populations on the games Fallen Sword & Archaea. Admin is still the worst thing going in this game. A new plot-twist led to some interesting role-play within the game, but what was more fun? Watching the somber events take place, or watching the key players take off running suddenly, to be replaced with another? Let me tell you: When a game is held together by less than 20 people who all have multiple characters and/or accounts... it is going NOWHERE, FAST. RP Fanatic, riddle me this: Since when is lesbianism, kissing, & the worship of other gods something your children have never seen in real life? Unless you live in a communist, facist country, let me tell you, this is LIFE. This is ROLE-PLAY. Banning people for playing other games is ludicrous. Banning people for having opinions is not only idiotic, but a hinderance to role-play. BenRanda, since Ben & Miranda are so obviously the same person, you really need to decide what it is you are trying to do with this game. Let it die, or give it some room to breathe. I'm giving this game a ZERO, based SOLELY on the fact that a doctor wouldnt pronounce a DYING PATIENT physically fit, no matter how aesthetically pleasing the patient was.

Comment: Besides of having the satisfaction of giving this game another 0 i noticed that the comment that RP Fanatic left I realized that it must be pretty sad to be the only one on this review page to give it a good word , i'm not sure if i should laugh or pity him/her considering she's the one that makes the game a living hell

Comment: To put it nicely this game blows hands down , the admin are total idiots not knowing what they are doing and you get bored of it 5 minutes after playing , tell you the truth i don't even know how i lasted playing it as long as i did , a complete waste of time and money , watching paint dry or running around in traffic is more fun.

Comment: This game is absolutely brilliant, and actually takes roleplay seriously. After some time out the admin are back with new areas, quests and roleplay events that really get ppl going. The areas are well-written for the most part tho some earlier ones are a bit bare. Best of all the community are seriously into rp but are always happy to help new players find their way around.

I'm kinda sickened by the reviews on this, especially when I see who wrote them. Admin bans people with good reason, keeping it a sicko-free game and a decent rp base. Some people just want a 'fantasy' game in all senses of the word, which is fine but not in a PG13 environment. I personally feel much better in a place where I know my kids can play too and where I know roleplay is actually valued.

Check it out and don't pay attention to the small-minded whiny babys who complain because they got banned for breaking the rules!!!

Comment: as a member of this game i find it very lacking in everything a true RP needs. If you don't do as your told by the gods,constables or the iron knights you face punishment, which can go from time in jail to getting banned. The game has gone no where for over a year and it looks like it's not going anywhere soon. I rate it a 2 and that's being generous.

Comment: I played this game for 3 years, I liked the game well enough, but thought the Admin was too strict and narrow minded. Lately, it has gotten much worse, they are banning people for small things and leaving harassers in the game when before they actually used to get rid of harassment. They have nothing special for any of the professions except Warriors, while that battle system seems alright to me, people have a hard time making money to buy the things they need because the monsters don't give money or drop items that match with the level they are supposed to be (i.e. person fights a level 45 monster and gets 2 gold after nearly dying at the hands of said monster ) The money level also doesn't raise with your level. ( i. e. level 25 and making 20 plat, level 35 and making 20 plat ) I've heard complaints of this from some of the higher levels there, and experienced it myself. And when you reach peak level which is 62, there is no good way to make money. The avatars are lacking. The Admins are overbearing and unwilling to listen even if you are in the right. The Rp there allows for no real use of the imagination, you Rp the way the Admins want or you get banned. You are not allowed to have an opinion. The game has the feel of being in a communist state, no new ideas or opinions are allowed. The game play environment is deteriorating, the community is small and no new blood has been there in a while except for gamers who don't Rp which seems fine with the Admin. It is my opinion that this is what they want now and Rp'ers in Dark Grimoire are becoming a dying breed. The text area descriptions invite forced Rp. People are actually encouraged to lie. Nobody can be trusted there except a very few people. They also encourages people to turn others in with threats that if a person doesn't tell, they will no longer be allowed to play, bad moderation in my opinion. My advise? if you play, don't have an opinion. Personally I would not even return to this game or play it again. If you like to be subjected to rudeness and oppression then this is the place to go, other wise I would not recommend it. My rating for this game is 0, due to the bad moderation and overlord Admins.

Comment: Best text-based game I've played in a long time, but I recently got banned because one of the admin didnt like me for some reason, she told everyone I was some other player, then deleted my account so that I couldnt go back on and defend myself. She blocked my IP address though, which is stupid, because it takes about 12 seconds to change that. I would go back & run through the town screaming MIRANDA OF ADMIN IS A LIAR AND A BAD GAMER, but why stoop to her level?

Comment: Admins are way overbearing. They have "spys" looking to mute and/or ban people who actually do role play, but do not use "Thee's, Thou's, and Thus's". The believe a thief should be an honorable little warrior, instead of being a thief. If you can play without running into the mutings, or bannings, it can be fun. Otherwise try a different online playing site.

Comment: The admins for this game are RUDE. Other than that the game is put together rather well. If you play do your best not to have to deal with them (admin) unless you like being belittled or insulted.
