Post some you think are great and fun.. here's one of mine..

http://www.syrnia.com/?who=p_Draco446

Its a skill-leveling game with a great community.. best thing is you don't have to be at the screen to play it.. just do something else while Syrnia is in the background.

[url]Movoda.net[/url] Its like Syrnia.. but a little more. Its a new game.. It has more features like colonizing the mainland or aiding the constructions of building. Some features are still being added and you can also play this as well as Syrnia in the background. I play both.. The best thing is that you can be a great Woodcutter in Syrnia and want to be a great fighter but you have to maintain your great woodcutting status with it, so might as well become a great combater in Movoda. (I suggest training combat more in Movoda than in Syrnia)

I also suggest Visual-Utopia.

A great war game.. the best part of it is the world is physical, so great amount of strategy is required for example your entire force may be 3 days worth of traveling up north but some attackers come and attack your main base which is too far away before your army can reach it.. well.. its confusing so just go look at it and you'll understand.

[url]visual-utopia.com[/url]

And we all know about Cantr.. My favorite of all..

Any games you suggest.. just post here.. and tell me what you think of these.. (Syrnia and Cantr as well as Zeripirates was mentioned in some article that was posted in the Cantr News.. )

I tried Visual Utopia for an "era" but as I died three times I gave up :S. Usually I am great at those sorts of games but that one I just couldn't get the hang of. Anyway, if you are looking for a check every once in while game try www.earthdoom.com, I used to play it when I was younger, but I'll admit the only reason I liked it was because the limited player base, about 1000 when I used to play (I don't know how mnay there would be now) meant that every-so-often I managed to be ranked first in the game

when I played seren i thought it was too small of a world, and it didn't have rollplay, it was to much of a skillbuilder.

Here is the list of games I play:

1. Cantr
2. Torn City
3. Runescape
4. War of Empires

The list i have is this.

1:cantr

2:civalasation 4 expantion pack "warlords"(although the good comp is incapasatated as of yet, so)

3 civ 4

4 monopoly

5 risk

and thats about it.

i spend the rest of my time playing sports, sleeping, eating, lifting weights, and taking long bubble baths. oh, i knit a little to (not verry good, but it is my first time.)

Are you a girl or a guy? I always thought you were a Guy, but in light of this new evidence I might be persuaded to change my opinion on the matter.

what? bubble baths are manly...

i usually don't put bubbles in it, but after a long day... and plus my brother and mom take the computers away, so i get boared alot.

and yes, i am a guy.

*laughs* Ok, I was just making sure.

www.nowhere-else.org Something Agar first introduced to me. Some of the graphics are kinda crappy (except for the ones I made!) but once you get into it, it can be pretty much addictive. I was playing it all day yesterday. There are quests, some of which are linked into a plotline about the power struggles between Island Levitators and Earth Gluers but once you get far enough, you get your own sandbox and you can build your own islands and dungeons with your own quests and NPCs. There is no time limit to how much you can play a day, even though it does crash sometimes, which I assume to be because of too many users logging in. There isn't much user interraction but it's great for being creative on your own. Sometimes you may get a bit stuck in questing and end up killing monsters for gold, but then you can always go to the mines and hunt for gold chests scattered around. I'm level 14 now I think, and at that point I can survive on all levels of the mines, at least if I have my mythril gear.

I like Project Entropia a lot. The game itself is a bit boring, I find, but the landscape / scenery is totally amazing. I like to play it and then daydream of a Cantr with such graphics ... Totally no roleplaying there, though.

I play some then quit then play again. I am currently in the quitting stage, every time somebody mentions that game I go back to it. I have alot of unfinished things in it. I am Ansem in it..

I play Neopets.com It's a great game. lol. Especially the plots.. I LOVE the plots

Isen't it that game that you spend your real money where and invest on things and watch it grow into a wealth and then make a withdraw into real money?

If it's that game a swedish player became a millionare by it.

I urge everyone to give DEFCON a try: www.everybody-dies.com
It's made by the eternally birilliant Introversion, an Uk-based Indie game company, who brought us the astounding Uplink and Darwinia.
DEFCON is devastatingly simplistic. Place your naval fleet and your silos.
Nobody wins, can you loose the least?
(I'm on their regularly as 'Cooper', if anyone else plays...)

I did try Project Entropia, and I just couldn't get past the disguised payment-for-play part of it - I'd much rather a subscription if I'm gonna do that.

I did play EVE for some time, a while back, and it can be a great place for RP if you get yourself into the right community. After a while though, the mechanics of the game get frankly a bit boring, unless you are into PvP.


I was very, very excited about SeeD, the RP-based MMORPG by the now defunct Runestone. I avidly played the Beta version, but never subscribed after released. It was basically released with little to no functionality as a game.
Asides from that, the RP was top-quality, the game was just right for RP (no combat, a close-knit community in a clautrophobic setting, facing increasing outside pressures - it required cooperation to an extent I haven't seen in other MMOGs), the community was exceptionally friendly, and the general feel of the game was just right for an RP-based MMORPG. I mourn it's passing greatly, the potential was just huge.
Here's hoping the demise of SeeD doesn't put-off other potential developers of an RP MMOG.

There's a great article on SeeD here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/70/18


Pie: Civ 4 is excellent. I'm an old Civ Player, and this iteration is by far the best, it has managed to take out the convolutedness of the previous games, and just make it plain fun. Everyone has their own grips (the rock, paper scissors of the combat, the reduced unit count, and for me, the removal of global warming and pollution effects on the environment) but as a game, rather than a simulation, it's great.


I'm a big FPS fan. I play True Combat Elite a lot, when I have the time (which I haven't recently). It's great for people who like a bit more than twitching in their FPS, and more thinking.

HF: I agree compleatly. the Civ series, as well as its newest asset, is a ROCKIN AWESOME EXPERIANCE!! But i don't like it that you can't have civil wars any more. (the only thing i don't like) everything els ROCKS. Expetially the effect cannons and artillary have on cities and stacks.

One other thing i don't like, is that they somehoe split the unit visuals with the map visuals... so if you don't have a good computer it's imposibal to play.



ok, and i'm done with my rambling.
