More about this amazing club after the jump
The landing area is nicely placed between the club and the shops that support it.When i landed i straight away felt like this was a nice friendly place as the layout reminded me of a country club somewhere. The brick landing area was a nice touch and was different to most other clubs who favour either concrete textures or wood.
They also had a relay for life in second life vendor next to the landing area which was nice to see they are supporting the cancer charity. The stores are fairly large too and varied which makes a nice change to see some different names here rather than the usual ones. The shopping area is also large and spacious which means for an unhurried shopping experience and there was very little lag here considering how full the club was this was a good thing.
Walking down the brick path to the club you walk through this lovely garden area which did look really pretty and was like walking through a garden at a country club. The variety of colours and plants did make this walk a nice experience rather than the usual walk past shops or nothing bland kind of walkway.
Why do clubs have this big walkway to the club? Why not put the landing point next to the club? Well the idea is that when you rez the sim has to load all your items in and if you land in the club next to others then they will lag because you are loading in where as if the landing point is over 64m away the lag is reduced. This is why you can load in quickly to a crowded sim but then when you move nearer to the crowds the lag starts to hit. Luckily though at Muddys this was not the case as i did not lag on the walk up to the club even walking into the club i did not lag.
The club itself is a nice looking building with a wooden effect floor and brick walls which make it look like a real building. I am guessing the architecture is based on an American bar design as you do not see this kind of building in the UK where i am from but it does look a good layout. It is easy to navigate even with a lot of people in. The stage is over to the right hand side as you walk in with the dance balls above the stage area. There is seating around the dance floor which is nice.
The sim is rated G so this is a nice club if you want to come and hang out without all the swearing or other adult nature of some clubs in Second Life.
Behind the stage area on the right as you walk in the club you can see the rules board which has some sensible rules posted if you are going to run a nice club without too much lag or annoyance to other VIP's. There is also a group joiner under the rules board and a club donations board along with info about the stream the club uses. Also there is an avie choice award for favorite rock club.
There are also some nice seating areas if you just want to hang out with your friends and chat and listen to the music without having to go on the dance floor
Muddys is named after the original owners dog in real life and the club has been in Second Life for many many years. You dont stay in the top clubs in SL without doing something right and Muddys shows how to run a good club and keep it fresh and appealing while still being able to make people feel at home and welcomed. You are personally thanked for coming down by the host when you arrive which i thought was a nice touch as some clubs seem to have forgotten this. The music played here is radio friendly and is a mixed bag of genres which again is good because you get to hear tunes that you might not hear elsewhere and makes a refreshing change from a 1 genre club. The dress code is relaxed too but modest as the sim is rated G so no showing naughty bits or having an x rated avie.
What i liked - Nice landing area with low lag for such a crowded club
Nice varied shopping area
Varied tunes from different genres means something for everyone
Personally welcomed by the host
Nice friendly crowd
What i didnt like - Nothing

muddy's is a joke. When the owner pushes there Religious beliefs onto people its not a place where i would like to revisit. I have spoken with several people and the results are the same. A. if you wear a addon like a breast enhancement. Even if it is covering your entire breasts they tell you to leave. Then ban you. if you Try to talk to the owner it is equivalent to speaking to a toddler. They will tell you muddy's is a private sim when in fact it is open to all. i have to ask. A sim that is open to everyone ? how is this private? You look at the owners profile and its pretty much a bible thumping trespassing on your Real life property jesus freak that if you let known you do not share there cult like belief then your banned. i have been in SL now for over 12 years and muddys is seriously going down hill. i will venture to say that there not going to make it much longer before they are a sim full of afk people. maybe Jesus will come and visit. Lets hope he is not wearing the P! Banning Jesus will end you up in hell. which i think that cult is going there anyway ... there are at least 7 Websites that are anti muddy. Whats that tell you ?
