Turn Based Multiplayer MMO Space Strategy Game - Space Empires V (SEV)

SEV is the fifth generation of the popular Space Empires 4x strategy game created by Malfador Machinations.

Before I start waffling I must say this game isn’t free! I have found it so good on the demo that I had to buy it.

Watch space battles played out in glorious detail and realistic effects. Expand, Explore, Exploit, and Exterminate in a huge living breathing galaxy. New features abound with political alliances between multiple empires, a top-down ship design system, a hexagonal movement grid, and many more. Due to player demand, the game is completely “moddable” and even adds a scriptable AI system to the mix.

This is a great game if you like this sort of thing. It is not a flashy sit in the cockpit shoot them up but is extremely complicated. It will take you probably a few hours or even an afternoon to learn it (like me). A lot of budding dictators play this but it can take up a lot of time, beware.

mmogchart.com Or For The Most Popular - World Of Warcraft Info

This site researches the growth of Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs).

The research is shown in figures, charts, graphs and analysis.

The best thing about this site is that its up-to-date and the information is provided free of charge although a donation is asked for if you find the information useful.

I found it quite useful as a listing of MMOGs and if you are looking for a game then you can choose by how many subscribers they have or any other way you desire.

The biggest and most popular by far is World Of Warcraft, but be careful the game is highly addictive and you may end up a hermit washing once a year with no family and friends!
