I actually never played any of the games in this genre before I started writing it. The guys I work with on the game were total addicts though, decided they wanted their own game, and were referred to me by a mutual friend.

That said, it's been a blast to write and watch grow as a community. Since february, we've had somewhere close to 8k users register, and average around 700 active players per week, although that's been trending upward between 10-15% a week.



Can you blame them? Who likes competition?

I see. I didn't care, but the community over there was great. A million registered users with over 500 players online at any time, with someone winning over $4,000 every 10 days. I met some great people from all over the world. I'm not a big gamer, but that was an interesting game. I'll have to check out yours. It might be nice to play with so few players. If I could come out on top with a million players, I should dominate a few thousand.

You'll probably run into more than a few familiar faces if you do. We've managed to transplant a number of families en masse from other games.

I've noticed though that there is always a huge discrepancy between registered users and players in game on text-based web games. While TMB has over a million registered users, on average only around 8k play per round. We have right at 8k registered, but only have around 700-800 active playing per round, although we're growing quickly. Our real advantage comes from having an engine that was designed from the ground up to be quickly customized and extended, which has allowed us to do what would otherwise be major overhauls in small amounts of code and time.

I happen to be a student! ...yay... I'm a junior Bio major/Theatre minor at Metro State working towards the ultimate goal of owning a wildlife refuge for exotics and birds of prey. Occasionally, I procure the odd summer job at pet stores, but soon I'll get to have an internship at the Denver Zoo. I hope. Otherwise, I manage finances and take care of pets here at home.

My BF/partner has a B.A. in Creative writing and is almost finished with his second degree: B.S. in Game Art and Design. In other words, he shall be a video/RPG game designer...and yes, he's really good at it.

I'm a paediatric resident (well the equivalent level in the UK). We're a nicely mixed bunch it would seem.
