I played travian for months, with no fighting, and then suddenly got slaughtered fifteen times a day, with no recourse but to start again or give up. I'm not going to risk doing the same with this game - you may have done well so far, but you don't have to go to deeply into these boards to find a lot of people that have ended up with a similar experience to the one I had playing travain.

Look at it this way, if games like this are made to allow gankers and griefers then there might be more room in other types of games where it's not a free-for-all.

Don't know what to tell you about where to look, but how to look is more important.

If it's browser-based you're after then Google browser based (insert type) game and - read the forums before getting involved. Find out the mindset of the other players and base your decision on whether you want to play with and like them, or not.

As you said, you don't get very deep in these forums before you find people giving up, etc.

I've played and beta'ed a fair amount of MMORPGs, this one I've played casually as I suspected some of the idiocy of the population and realized early that the game plot would NOT be followed, instead the players farm other players and think it's some sort of feather in their cap.

So play for free and don't care about it. Play as long as it interests you then desert it - it's okay to do so.

Don't care about the opinions here either - even mine, you KNOW what they say about those, don't you? <evil grin>

I hope you can find entertainment that suits you - good luck!
