<description><![CDATA[I have been waiting for a game called "age of ascent". It was and still is taking them FOREVER to put the game out. So, I started googling browser mmo games that work on mobile. I found this game and I think it might just be better than "Age of Ascent".  It looks like the game will have all the bells and whistles, but the core of this game is so good. The politics, the community, the overall set-up. You cannot replace stuff like that.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have a lot of time on my hands. I have played AE / OG for a good few years and I usually end up leading alliances. I still play OG and the other day had found myself doing a search on an issue that we face in OG, that has become more prevalent over time. That problem being 'Multi Account' players. So I started Google searching the topic from the side of "What would a cheater do?" So I searched something like : Using TOR browser Ogame. <br/><br/>This game was just mentioned in the same forum like in a side bar topic not in the actual thread talking about how to cheat by multi accounting - Just to make sure I have clarified that point.<br/>I saw mention in other links that came up of your game basically with  reference of some such vaguely worded like - Game for people fed up with  OGame and Astro Empires. <br/><br/>Way I see things is if you have to use two decks of cards to play Black-Jack then you are not playing Black-Jack anymore. Most guys who use such tactics end up actually hobbling themselves for not focusing real energy into one account. Beyond that I have noticed that despite not being banned from game it is easy to spot most of them as they tend to lack any real creativity - Point here being I do not condone the act of playing multi-accounts it tends to wreck things for the individual as well as the community. <br/><br/>I have met a few people who have made efforts to set up a game based loosely on such ideals to varying degrees of success. My main interest is learning to be semi proficient at a new game. So I started this up and find so far that it has a lot of depth to it. I also like the NPC aspect as other efforts to break away (from the norm) have done. This is often implemented as a way to decrease player to player aggression but seems to mainly attract a more mature crowd. <br/><br/>I look forward to exploring this project. Dark Expanse is another game created by old fans of OG / AE I have spent time with, they also have been working towards getting away from pay-to-win.. while also still having to pay for server space.]]></description>

At the end there is a handful of "builds" you have to follow if you don't wan't <br/>to get stomped.. which makes the game pointless and boring at end, since "freedom" is a mere cosmetic.<br/><br/>I really like the mechanics you designed for the different game aspects, keep up the good work! <img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border=0 alt="smile" /><br/><br/>Only other games that have that "free" feel to me are Illyriad and the no longer around Zandagort:<br/><a href="http://zandagort.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://zandagort.com/</a><br/><a href="http://www.spacesector.com/blog/2012/03/a-complex-browser-game-without-micro-transactions-zandagort-first-impressions/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.spacesector.com/blog/2012/03/a-complex-browser-game-without-micro-transactions-zandagort-first-impressions/</a><br/><i>edited by Zangorian on 1/11/2017</i>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Before we made Barons of the Galaxy we had a site called Clanwars.com which allowed players to setup battles over a galactic map that were resolved by playing games of StarCraft. Then I also made a Neverwinter Nights persistent world called World of Torr. I emailed all the registrants from these website and invited them here. Perhaps you found us wandering the internet. I've also posted this game in some Sci Fi community forums. We would love to know where you found us as well as what interests you about this game!]]></description>
