6 Dragons is a really refreshing mud and no doubt about that!

There are currently 18 races to choose from, ranging from the classics such as Human, Elf and Orc to the more exotic Dragon, Mindflayer and Celestial (Angel). Some races have unique abilities, Halfling for example have the inherrent ability to detect evil, Pixie has the ability to fly due to their wings.

There are currently 15 classes such as Warrior, Mage and Druid through a nice spectrum of uniquely skilled and spelled classes like Monk, Bard and Hellspawn. Each class has unique abilities. For example Monks have Martial Arts, allowing them to butcher their enemies without even wielding a weapon.

Once you choose a race, which all have unique base stats you are given the opportunity to select classes. Some races have only one class such as Celestial, but many give you the option to select up to 3. There are advantages and disadvantages to choosing more than 1 class per character, the primary benefit being that you can increase your skill and spell pool. On the downside and for game balance we are told, multi-classing takes longer to gain your overall levels and you don't gain the single class health bonus.

Once you are in the game, you are taken through a nice little tutorial, helping you to orientate yourself with the area. Once you complete this, you gain enough xp to get level 2 and a few new skills without much work involved.

Low level quests are plentiful, with a total game quest count of 96 to date. There is also a very nice 'Time Machine' quest which gives access to the old stock areas for those who like to play such areas. That reminds me, many of the zones are uniquely coded by the 6D staff and therefore have unique quests and fresh excitement for those looking for something different.

One great new feature they added recently was Citizenship. You can gain a city title and there's a great feature where you can actually lay siege to another city. This gives a lot of excitement and live arena feel to the game.

There are clans and optional PK and RP for those who want something more from their game.

As a blind player, I find their ability to make things accessible and screen reader friendly very nice. The staff are all nice, one of them is blind and works with them to make it all work right for us.

They pay out glory and gold for good ideas and reporting bugs and are very quick to fix and create.

There are weekly events, trivia, arenas and other things and they pay out glory and sometimes god level potions just for taking part in the events!

Overall, there's a low but very nice player and staff base and it's really nice to play on 6 Dragons, well worth spending a few days online and getting to grips with it.
