Post here for any other online games that you are fond of.
web page based or otherwise.

Yeah, what better to waste time on than play a free online game? My cousin showed me this Ogame thing and its acually quite well made.

Universe 18 and i'll join anyone in their rise - it doesnt take long to understand the game.
www.ogame.org


Another which i quit because it got mightily boring was www.kingdomofloathing.com
its fun for a bit, a parody of all RPGs


Oh, and Savage: Battle for newerth was a great free online game
a mix between warcraft 3 and a FPS, truely origonal

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory

Oh so thats what that little xfire blib is all about
least now i can stop guessing

Theres also that runescape thing, now that i think of it. I donno site, and am glad of it. Sounds like a cheap MMORPG wannabe, although i hear its well built.

What server gandalf? I have it installed but I have yet to actually play...

72.36.128.82:5123 -> Beginners Park 3-3
72.36.130.235:5123 -> Beginners Park 3-2
I play on those two a lot, usually fun, though sometimes the people there get annoying. Don't be decieved by the name though.

You can also try out 207.210.238.181:27960 and 8.9.8.142:27960 for more 'competition' style gameplay, though you probably know what that means (as in most games).

Note: Be prepared for some downloads before actually playing.

Oh, and I haven't played at all in a little while since my connection has been downgraded to dial-up...

I saw Savage fairly recently and was really unimpressed. From what I saw it was like Tribes without the jetpacks.

[Remm]

Yeah well, savage was a bit poorly made, but the concept was great. One player on each team is the wc3-view builder and commander, that can give commands to all the players in first person (whom follow only if they want to) I found the game to be prty good, if you can get past the oversized maps and the buggish teams (im prty sure one tower just peppers down unholy hell on anything that gets within range) Anyways, I lost my CD key so i cant play or i'd be plaything that right now. Or wc3. Meh, my net connection cant play any of them -- mass drop out-age.

[Mazer]

Actually, now that you describe Savage like that I'd recommend you at least look into Natural Selection (Half Life[and 2] mod). Aliens vs marines fun.
On the marines side, one player jumps into the commander's chair and plays like an RTS, giving out orders, placing things to be built and handing out upgrades. The rest get to shoot things
The aliens don't really have this "RTS view" but it's still good strategy. Damnit, I wanna play again.

I used to play a game called Maple Story. It's a free MMORPG, but I found it incredibly boring. I know a couple other people that still play it, and how they don't get bored of it boggles my mind. It's actually kinda cool, the characters are drawn somewhat so that they look like anime characters do. It is also 2d. That is the part of the game I liked, but it is really repetitve. The quests consist of "bring me this and I give you money and experience." But what they want brought to them, is what monsters drop. So you're constantly killing monsters to collect different things to bring to these people. There isn't really a storyline.

There are different clients released.They are basically the same, but belong to a different series of servers. The American one is called Maple Global, the Korean one is Maple Sea, then there's a portal type thing at http://www.maplestory.com

I loved Wolfenstien: ET back in the day when I was godly at it, but alas, my skill has been slowly waning. The game Defend Your Castle entertained me for a good many hours, and was the inspiration for my spin-off of it.

Nowadays, I spend most of my time making my own games, which I actually enjoy testing and playing more than a LOT of the online games... probably because the games I make are tailord to my whims, and not the whims of some other game creator.

well i used to play a game called Adventure Quest, but as the server gets jammed very frequently i havent been able to play... you can find it at www.battleon.com , also another game that ive found is Mu (i no weird name) but it is a fairly good rip-off of diable I and II, although the text quality is crap i cant quite remember where to find it at the moment but if you search google im sure ull find it

When you say that, are you referring to patches? Or is this going to be like Counterstrike where half of the servers run some obscure modified version of a map or have 300 wav files for you to download and be annoyed by?

[Remm]

ehehe theres nothing wrong with downloading 'DOUBLE KILL' n such... hehe. Anyways; where do you download that alien vrs marine half life mod? I'd like to play

[Mazer]

Nothing wrong with "Double kill!" aside from the sound not really fitting in with CS. My problem was with sounds like chicken.wav, yeehaw.wav and others from the useless-and-stupid category.

As for the Half-Life mod, I haven't got it off-hand, but I'm sure that even if GOOGLE doesn't have a link on their MAIN SEARCH PAGE they'll probably know where you can get it. Oh yeah, and it's probably on Steam too.

[Remm]

Yeah. ive been in games where theres upwards of 100 .wav files of uselessness, And theres nothing more gratifying than hearing 'RAMPAGE' and whatnot after removing the brains of so many CTs in a row, via shotgun. I'll search for the game on the weekend, when i have an acual good net connection.
btw i never saw it on steam...
