Title: Travians Post by: naum on December 12, 2008, 02:32:52 PM http://www.travians.com/
Another browser/AJAXy MMOG. (http://img.skitch.com/20081212-mh5x5e1rahbn7f6phspwm8bmwb.png) Actually, it should be a quiet day. However a message from your uncle alters everything. After a short trip, you land in the middle of an antique village and a mysterious history. You not only inherit a house, but also a funny pig with surprising abilities and a family curse. With the help of the eccentric villagers, you soon explore the gigantic game world and find out slowly about the secret of your family. In Travians, there is even more to experience, however. Finally, you master also a villager's daunting everyday life here. This includes the reduction of different raw materials, your professional specialization as well as the extension of your own four walls. Furthermore, the village tavern invites to cheerful minigames; in the arena, the best compete at a fight and at the marketplace they haggle roughly. However, the key to the success lies in the interaction within the gigantic village community. Because only through cooperation with other players, interesting trade connections, strong trees of friendship and mighty guilds with splendid houses originate.

Some fucking 10 year old brought my village to its knees and threatened to catapult me out of existence unless I paid him tribute every day. ....never again.

As long as the endgame doesn't involve having to stay up each night so you can hide your character from roving orcish rape gangs.

Looks like I have to invite you. Just post your name here. This doesn't look at evil as Travian. Title: Re: Travians Post by: schild on December 12, 2008, 09:12:27 PM Scratch that. Already quit. It's an RMT game based on the Euro. Yegah.
Title: Re: Travians Post by: ashrik on December 12, 2008, 11:47:25 PM How pervasive is the RMT aspect? As I recall, the original Travian had a RMT thing where you would buy double production for a set amount of time or a few other goodies. They were nice, but hardly necessary or even desirable for the average player.

Well, it wasn't just the RMT thing, the performance kinda sucked, I really hated the interface, and the way the game responded to your actions was just unbearable. The RMT being in euros was just icing on the cake. |
