This text-based RPG try to simulate the life in the Medieval Age (1450s). Choose one country to live in Europe (England, Portugal, Byzantium, Aragón, etc.) and give life to your character in the forums. Atheist or baptized? A soldier or a criminal? Politician or a Priest? You choose. Your character can vote, can be elected, can rob, can defend the city, can trade, can pray... the options are incredible.
I am playing this game since 2006. It is incredible how it is addictive, take care with that. It is totally free (I have never spent money with it) but you can buy a package that makes your character an “In-game noble” (one can be a “forum noble” too, due to the services done to your country, but without the benefits). Buying that package may make a difference when you reach level 3 – after 1-2 years of gameplay - and become a student in the University: “In-game nobles” learn 2x quicker. It is possible to have a lot of fun without it though, since the best part of this game is in the histories role-played in the forums, where your imagination is the limit of your character life.

- Free, but there is a premium package gives some advantages to payers - what doesn’t make the game unfair, since there isn’t competition in this game.
- Time spent playing: 10 minutes each day. Daily log in required, or your character may die of famine. Take care with the forums though: one can spend 5 hours per day there if he wants.
