Today’s a virtual friday (I have thursday and friday off – it’s a 4 day weekend for me) so here’s something to celebrate the occasion with – a free, java-based massively multiplayer online role playing game. Been wondering what the fuss is about with these games? Go check one out. It’s evocative of the original Ultima Online in that there is a lot of focus on crafting and resource harvesting from the environment, but it’s got a fully 3d gameworld with some unexpectedly decent animation. It should run on any platform with Java installed and is well worth a look, especially if you’ve never played around with an MMORPG before and are interested in getting a taste of them.

It’s a scam! They ask you tons of personal questions and when you click submit it doesn’t work but sends in all your information!

Huh. They’ve been around for a while though. If this is a scam, it’s newly become one. Also when I signed up, I got an account and logged in and played. Are you sure your spam filters aren’t blocking emails from them with the login info and so on?

I’ve written a small java mmorpg engine, fully playable, with retro graphics at http://www.janthus.com. Check it out — party questing, chat, spell casting system, arcade style mmo. Its no runescape or wurmonline, but I really want people to take a look and stretch the engine for a bit.
