Do you dare venture down the Bloodstone Spires, braving the legendary cunning of the Drow to seek their grand city of Natha? Will you defy their Matron Mother, Priestess of Lolth, Kyran and obtain the means of entering the Drow Underpalace? Will you seek out the hidden Svirfneblin Port Fribbledum? Can you brave the Dark Divide and locate the dread temple of the cursed Drider, Judith. Or can you best the Dome Dwarves and overthrow their mad leader, robbed of his humanity by the loss of his love?
Enter Dor Maeglin, a realm of two faces; the surface and the Underdark. Both contain equal possibilities, a chance at fame, or infamy. Dor Maeglin has been around for about seven years, and thus has a deep layer of lore to the areas, granting them a unique feel. Here are some other features of Dor Maeglin:
-Dor Maeglin features almost no 'left-over' items from the original campaign, instead a unique system consisting of item grades and a unique method of obtaining these items through the economy of soul gems.
-Also new is the forever-teetering 'Divine Balance', a system in which shifts from Good, Neutral, and Evil depending on factors such as a character of a given alignment leveling up. Should your alignment be favored by the Gods, you shall receive extra benefits, such as full divine damage using divine might.
-Unique spawning and scripting system that helps keep lag to a minimum of all times, even when operating at player capacity.
-Unique setting rich with lore written by both players and DMs in the many years Dor Maeglin has been around.
-Multiple tweaks to spells and classes (refer to forums for a full description) to better balance classes so that players aren't limited to certain 'high-magic' builds in order to be effective. Balance and fun are put ahead of strict HCR or 3ED rules.
-Inclusion of some incredible community content, as well as content unique to Dor Maeglin.
-Frequent DM interaction. Events mixing RP and HnS are commonplace.

Honestly I have never really liked rpg's. I get bored to quickly. HOWEVER after the year it took my hubby to finally convince me to play I actually enjoyed this game on this server. The DMs always make things interesting, its not to slow and a lot of great people to play with. For a short time the server was unavailable (but now YAY ALL FIXED!!) and my hubby and I went looking for an alternate server.... Lets just say I still dont like rpg's but definitely enjoy spending time on this server.

Excellent PW. DM interaction is quite frequent. One minute your just out leveling your character, the next an epic adventure. The Soul Gem, and component system for gear is very nice. There is always something to do. The level of team work and tactics needed for some of the areas makes for great team play and promotes parties. Everything is unique on Dor. The community is superb. The DM's are genius. The events, both long term and short, require some brain power, and are not just "spawn everything they can and see if you can handle it." like I've seen on several other servers. All in all Id Give Dor a 100 out of ten if I could. Oh! and we have cake!

Takes a good server to be around for as long as this one has, and still be active. Here's to hoping Dor lives forever!
