Found another interesting Online Game which offers quite some freedom of action while taking good care of its newbies and providing a way to be completely safe while offline - nice for the casual, occasional gamer like myself, but also very fit for more competetive players.

 

It offers a trade system, a pretty large universe, a text-based combat system, some RPG elements, and a pretty good support and community from what I've seen.

 

The game is here, requires no download, although a graphics pack can be downloaded to aid the players on slower connections (it is not compatible with newest versions of Firefox, though).

The tutorial takes a while - it took me a total of three days because of the limitations of the action points one can recieve and spend per day - but it prepares you well for the game itself.

 

If any of you are interested, I'm Tiphias Junior of the Federation.

I think I've seen this. Reminds me of Galactic Civilizations a bit

Curse you firefox...

 

*Shakes fist*

 

Now look what you've made me do, i'm having to use IE

 

I'm having a look...

Are you on dial-up? The only thing not working is the Graphics pack, and all that does is to make the ingame images accessable from the HD. If you don't mind loading a few kb of images, you can use Firefox. I do.

No, i'm on wireless broadband...it works now anyway, beofre it was denying it existed

I dont play this game, but other online browser games, and to make local skins/graphics packs work in firefox, open a new tab and go to about:config

then enter "security.checkloaduri" (minus the "") and there should be one option left, change that to FALSE. This allows firefox to access local images.

Hope this helps.
