Chat. Some RPing done through a yahoo club. Requires mIRC.
Layout:
Pretty page, easy to navigate. Especially liked the little animated intro. 5/5
Forum:
Not really much of a forum, unless you count the yahoo club. 3/5
Hospitality:
Though they seemed a little slow to react, members that were not AFK did seem to express an interest in my being there, and volunteered information readily enough when I did begin to ask questions. 4/5
Rules:
Conveniently divided into three subheadings. The rules are sensible, but some lack the specificity necessary to ensure proper conduct. 3.5/5
Plot:
This is where the pain comes. I can't find anything to speak of relating to plot. It would appear that you'd have to be an existing member to actually know what's going on. Well, there actually is some plot development at the Yahoo club, but I'm a big supporter of the organized, constantly updated plot page. 2/5
Special Features:
Lots of little extras, including a mailing list, which I think is a damn good idea. Also offer a free email address from ZZN.com. Hmm, who else does that...?
Best Aspect:
This place is packed. It's the second biggest anime RPG on Dal Net, and there is at the least 11-12 people in the room at just about any give time. You'll never go RP hungry here, or shouldn't anyway.
Worst Aspect:
It would have to be the lack of a recognizable plot page attached to the main site. I just can't seem to get past that. I'm a petty, petty man.
Overall Rating:
They seem to be doing pretty damn good for themselves, and with a little work, this could easily be one of the best anime RPGs on the net. I like their application system, especially, since it is very screening intensive, and does a good job of keeping out the riff-raff. 3.5/5
