After submitting a review, players can open their newly published review directly from the confirmation page.
Added a new Game Banner Guide with dimensions, formatting advice, and the 1 MiB upload limit. Banner upload errors also provide clearer guidance when an image is too large.

Added a new Most Reviewed Games page highlighting the ten active games with the most player reviews, with a direct link in the Games menu.
Reviews now show when they were last edited, and authors can open the edit form directly from their review page. MUDVerse also guides returning reviewers to their existing review instead of creating a duplicate.
After voting, players who have not reviewed the game are invited to share their experience, making it easier to contribute useful feedback while the game is fresh in mind.
Logging in from the Account menu now returns you to the page you were viewing, including its active query options.
Improved the beginner play guide’s common-command table so related commands and directions are easier to follow, and made all next-step links consistent buttons.

My Account now uses a responsive sidebar and brings My Games, My Reviews, Watched Games, account settings, listing transfers, and API tools together in one place.
The homepage has a shorter introduction, clearer paths into games and rankings, and a compact recent-updates section linked to the full Development Blog archive.
Added two beginner resources: What Is a MUD? explains the history and appeal of text-based worlds, while How to Play a MUD covers choosing a game, connecting, common commands, and troubleshooting.
Expanded the MUD Clients guide into a filterable comparison of desktop, mobile, and web clients, with platform guidance, advantages, considerations, and direct download links.

The review form now includes clearer rules encouraging balanced, firsthand, constructive feedback while protecting privacy and avoiding major spoilers.
Game owners can add an optional Discord community link to their listings, giving players a direct way to join the game’s community.
Success and error messages now appear consistently across the site as clearer, dismissible notifications.
Removed third-party analytics and rewrote the Privacy Policy to explain more clearly what MUDVerse collects, which information is public, how cookies are used, and how correction or deletion requests can be made.
Improved page headings, navigation trails, and link-preview information so game listings, reviews, guides, and other public pages are easier to understand and share.
