The community here is nice. There have been heated discussions and opinions but I think there have not been any major flame wars. Of course someone might have taken something much more seriously than I tend to, but I have found the atmosphere relaxing.
Geas hosts a diverse variety of players. Some more intensively RP-oriented(not necessarily a merit, IMHO) than others but everyone seems to pull their own weight and add something to the world. There are several players that have sticked around for ages so newbies certainly do not lack any helpers.
Geas can be somewhat rough to start, I hear, depending on what you have been used to and the certain roughness does not ever end. Forostar is a rather dangerous place with several powerful continuous threats that give experienced warriors a real challenge. This said, many things are geared towards high level team work if you play the fighting game. In essence team work is encouraged no matter how high or low you are, which is nice. There are no powerhouses that can do everything alone.
Learn by doing is nice and the only thing that resembles ordinary levels is how many quests you have done(IMHO)as they give a rather big chunk of experience to stats. You can play a guildless character and feel like you are not missing out. Generally speaking, it is best not to rush into a guild. They are not all perks
Conflict can sometimes be a bit polarized between evil - good axis and religious conflicts are common. Sometimes it can become wearisome, sometimes there is a nice twist included making it more fun. PK is handled rather well and you should expect to meet a gruesome death eventually in the hands of other players. There is no hunting for sport, after a while it is rather easy to see where the danger lies depending on your affiliations.
Best part, the game itself contains almost zero death traps. Players can create no escape situations but rarely, very rarely you will enter a room and die without a warning. This has plagued some muds I have tried before Geas and it always drove me away.
Good / bad, depends how you wish to see it. Do not consider the game finished. New features, areas, stuff to do, etc trinkles down in to the world little by little. It also means new typos, bugs, complications that we will sort out with us players doing the stepping on mines bit. The staff here consists of very nice people who are willing to listen and it is not uncommon for a player idea to pop into the game world. So you might run into some weirdness while playing, not necessarily though. If that ruins the game for you, you might wish to reconsider. Though I suspect it happens with other games as well, more or less.
Me? I personally like Geas quite a bit and have haunted the game for some years now. There have been awesome fun times with this one
I guess this is plenty already.
