Review :New Cadair Braeden
So cadair got a new owner, I rped there for a few months, Cadair Breaden I have rped for nearly four years. I have seen it reopen alot.This was a new change,they tried to give cadair a new face and everything. Sadly Cadair has so much history that it tends to set right back in its ways.
Well we will start with how it is.
Cadair is a open lore rp, which is cool and great, they have guidlines you must follow.They have everything on a website, which is a double edge sword.Its both good and bad, cause now they don't have most their knowledge on NC and not everyone goes to websites to see things about SL Sims. However the site is nicely built easy to use. The sim is nicely built, wouldn't go as far as to say one of the most beautiful sims around, but it is pretty. Evora which is a new sim to it, as Cadair drop to being a one sim and then became a two sim. Evora is the forest sim, where the faes are and the ruins of the old elven kingdom lie from OLD Cadair.
They do like to change up on the sim, add things and try to make it more beautiful.Though sadly they cut out somethings that should have state like the bath houses. They have two taverns, one in each sim. Their race leads are for IC only which I respect. They have five admins, which is abit much for a two sim, but also not. They have rentals, but good luck getting one, appearently they allow people to rent more then one building so alot of the houses are generally own by one person which to me is over kill and unfair to others.
The admins seem nice, they try to get story going, however the stories are old and already been used before, they lack in creative new stories. A story writing group could help with this. They allow a WIDE range of races seen on the website. The sim however is not Mer friendly, there really isn't any spot for one. Their Vampire lead is a Hyrbid, which isn't a vampire and the hybrid favors garous so that abit weird. There isn't much of a garou group.
The sim stays empty, or the few on hide in their houses.It use to be full of life and rp, though now sadly it is run with Meta gamers, power gamers, god moders, and people who can't ic and ooc seperated.Few of their leads are very bad at this. It is against the rules meta,godmod,power gaming, but seems if you have a spot as ic lead or admin its oked.Also notice its very clique-ish. The vampires you have to kiss ass in, and there was a bad drama with the vampirs, the whole sim sent in NC all saying the same that it was the lead starting it. Now how they handle NC I find poor, they never asked anyone personally why they felt that way or anything, instead they sent out their own NC. The NC litterally stated if you don't like my Vampire lead leave, when I tried to tell the owner that I had proof of her meta gaming I was told and I quote "I don't want names, I plan to have rp classes with admins sitting in." Yet they banned others for meta gaming, or saying crappy sim. Even after person apologies, which the person didn't even have a bad rep or history. Where as the meta gamers, have been getting slaps on the wrist.The sim has gone south, admins tend to ignore the rpers when the issue is put to the Vampire lead, or one of their own admins. Hell the NC even said for rpers to stop their complaining, that they are privilege to even be rping on the sim.
Yes it is a privilege for rpers to be allowed to rp on the sim, but the rpers are the live source for a rp sim.When you ignore their cries and them telling you their issues, you kill your sim. Cadair is not a Sim I would tell my friends and its sad cause this is a sim I been around for nearly four years.I love this sim, but sadly not for how it is now. The old owner use to have a sit down and had people speak their minds with out fear, now if you speak you mind and truth you are banned, I do think the New owner should have sit downs though I seen them to it once. However, through all the bad there is good, the good is there and the people that do follow the rules try so very hard to keep this sim alive. They are the true life source of this sim for sure, I think that you should atleast give it a shot, to find the ones who make it worth it though.Keep on searching, it pains me so much to write this review but it had to be done.I like to think of this review as Constructive criticism, maybe it will even help the sim itself...who knows.
Keep rping out their, I will keep giving you reviews to look at, to help you find that perfect sim you want.
