Greetings!,

Today I'm reviewing a different kind of server, a prison one. As I didn't have much knowledge of those kind of servers, I did some research! So heres my review!

Introduction:
Mumau's Prison is a very popular prison server among the "prison server fans" The moment you join you get amazed by the amount of active members all talking to eachother about different topics, even though that gives you a headache, it impresses you. But is Mumau's Prison just another big hyped server with less to offer than they say? Lets find out!

The server:
Mumau's Prison has well decorated.. prison. Every single area is well thought out and made with care, you can see that alot of time has been inserted in that server. But a layout, is merely a part of the whole concept. As you wander around and play, you see unnecessary complicated systems. As a new player you can easily get lost, or don't know where to go to for example.. selling your items. They did make a turtorial, but that makes it a bit less complicated.

The chat can be a pain as well, as the colors are so bright and different from eachother. Its really hard to keep up, as the chat just goes so fast! These flaws can really ruin your experience, but it seems that the community already online has found a way to not annoy them on those flaws.. and I guess that you can do that as well.

The Community:
The Community on this server is really patriotic, believing that this is THE prison server on the planet. They where excited as well, when they explained me what prison servers are ^^. And I had over 20 players suggesting me to play on this one. You can say that the community really likes that server, besides its flaws and un-up-keepable chat

The server gets, like other big servers. Alot of donations from their players, especially when they believe Mumau's Prison is the best server ever. They seem to donate ridicilous amounts of money, does this prove that Mumau's Prison IS the best server? Who knows, but I guess theres something magical about that server, that I don't see.

The Staff:
Even though you don't notice the staff in the chat, ( which might be because the chat goes on light speed ) They seem to really maintain the server strictly and proffesionally. They aren't staff which gives you a bucket because you where nice and you asked for it.. Even though they are more proffesional, they do not show that they care for the community, even though they do behind the screens.

Their donation money seems to get into their server as well, afcourse I'm not NSA to know how much they spend on the server, but it looks like it.

The Whole picture:
Mumau's prison seems to be superior among its kin, and the community believes in the server as well. But does it exist more out of Hype then content? No, they really thought this server well out. It has its flaws, but so does every server. and thats why I have these ratings:

The server: 8/10 - Even though its way too complicated for new players, it has a amazing and proffesional concept.

The Community: 9/10 - Helpful, caring and patriotic.

The Staff: 6/10 - Working in the shadows way too much, but still managing to rule a great server.

The Whole Picture:

8/10 -
Must play!

-Approval to Settle- ~This should be one of the prison homes for players.

I like what you have started here, and I think that this can open a whole new spectrum into choosing servers.

Some suggestions that I have:
-Include some graphics on the blog, one for each category, It would make it less bland and a little more interesting.
-Server information such as IP, port, website, etc.
-My OCD is bothered by the lowercase in [server review].
-Don't tell people that you are a reviewer, the players/staff would give you special treatment and the review would not reflect the experience as a regular new player.

Excellent work and I hope to see more soon!

I appriciate your feedback!
But there are some points I have to point out.

While reviewing I have a undercover session for 1-2 days, and then a hour as reviewer. I don't tell that I'm one, so I can really see what the server has to offer for the common players

I have gain feedback that the [server review] would be practical so people know its a review, I'm sorry if it bothers you but this is just a practical detail, which shouldn't affect the review.

And what do you exactly mean with "graphics"? If its artwork I'm suppossed to make with photoshop I would consider it impossible

I meant that in [server review] it's strange how it's lowercase, it would be better as [Server Review]. By graphics I meant some sort of interesting text format for the text titles, but maybe colorful text would be nice as well.

Keep up the great work.

If you want to join it badly you can always search Mumau's prison on PMC, my following reviews will contain a IP and more serverside information.

I like your review, but the server isn't that good. I went on it once, and there were a bunch of geared-out jerks just sitting in the pvp area, which you have to cross through to get anywhere, and they were killing new players. It was basically impossible to get anywhere, and if you did get past them they'd say that you were using a hax or something, and they'd ask the satff to ban you! When I came on, there was only one staff-member, and he was really inexperienced, so that wasn't very well. And also, you can't really do much unless you play on te server every single day, which gets really boring.

Bad place bad time, as a server you are responsible for this not to happen. Though, playing Mumau's for over 2 days shows you what the server is at its weakest and strongest.

I suggest you complain to their staff about it, and I bet they will try make it alright again.
