The fellow that ran Game Commandos went to work for us actually (and still does). He confirms the reception of that hatemail! The trouble in the end is that reviewing a MUD properly requires far more than just a few hours or even a week of play. Much of the content/game systems is often not accessible until you're a well-established character, which can take many months. (For instance, no reviewer who has played for a week is going to ever see any of our political systems except from a distance. Similarly, no week-long player is ever going to be a ship's captain or experience what it's like to be in the Divine Order of a God. )
