Shadows of Isildur as it once was, no longer exists. It has a new staff, the game world was scrapped and the new world is in the process of being built. It's in alpha, which means roll-out and bug-testing. It's understaffed, and if you play, you'll be playing as an alpha-tester. If I were looking for an *immersive* world, and was expecting a finished (or mostly finished) game with robust, unbuggy code, so that I could focus my attention on roleplay along with others who do the same, I wouldn't be picking SoI at the current time.

However, if I wanted to get in on the ground floor of a new incarnation of SoI and be an integral member of the creation team from a player perspective, I'd check them out first, before anywhere else.
