1100ad
We’ve been striving hard to find unique and underground online games, you know the ones that haven’t saturated the web with hundreds of thousands of advertisements.
Well, we stumbled on 1100AD today -
The first thing you want to check when you’re looking at playing or creating a new account for a free browser game is to ensure there are plenty of players already signed up and actively playing.
You can’t always trust the statistics provided by MMORPG games, because naturally they are trying to market their own product.
Ok, once you find the game and official website. In this instance, 1100AD.com – you must then check how ‘popular’ or how much traffic is hitting that website.
So head over to Alexa.com (worldwide website rankings) and put in the name of the website you’re looking at – in this case ‘1100AD.com’
And you’ll see that this site ranks around 58,000 in the world. To give you some comparison, the most popular games such as Evony Free Forever are listed at 500 in the world and the lesser popular games at say 600,000+ so for 1100AD it seems in the midde or at least has a decent following.
First glance at 1100AD seems the english isn’t great, just a few comments on the initial MMO welcome screen, such as ‘Cause Horror to your Enemies’. Doesn’t quite sound right does it?
Ok, lets move on to the next component. Graphics, the pics and visuals in this game seem OK, while not top of class or free browser game world breaking graphics, they are certainly acceptable and will impress most gamers and players from around the globe.
Medieval game setting is the theme, with castles and an initial small town of which you need to develop and expand.
It’s sadly a common theme, build an army, trade with allies or rob enemies, but the final component which will impress for this game is the time requirement.
It does not need a massive time committment, you can simply set the AI (artificial intelligence option) to play for you while you are AFK (away from keyboard) very handy for players that play multiple games and don’t want to lock too much time up.
But apart from this, the game of 1100AD is a little run-of-the-mill – and seems like a basic evony game, only a few years in the past and without the buildup, graphics or hype.
