What players say
Upon booting up the game for the first time, I was awarded with over 40 achievements in merely one second. Sweet! What's not sweet is only a single digit number of player(s) are playing a game. Oof!

so apparently they moved to alliance but we have to re buy it but im not paying to play a game i already own.
It wasn't my cup of tea, though for my wife it was her catnip. A wonderful game back in the day, and I hope it's still doing well today.
