Most popular games?
« on: August 19, 2006, 10:33:20 AM »
What do you think is the most popular browser-based text game?
I know a couple of games that have over 2000 members, but that's still not so popular...

I only know of neopets, which has millions of users. :P

Runescape is another popular browser-based game.

And all the other arcade games.

one of my favourites is http://www.pimpin.com.au
has over 40,000 players.
Is one of the better pimp sites, constantly upgrading code.
But have to be online pretty regularly to be competitive.
& Admin are always right onto che@ts & spammers.
But can be a bit of a pain in the butt sometimes...

PDU has an evil twin sister http://www.pimpineuro.com
Which is also fun to play, not as many players tho.

Advantages these games have over some others are the various options for buying turns, not only PayPal, but via bank transfer & SMS!

Feel free to use my referrals (didn't include them in the links) although I am not playing those sites atm.

Runescape isn't text based....

I don't know about popularity, but my personal favorite would have to be Kingdom of Loathing.

Pimpkane is a pretty active site. I am running a similar script but finding it hard to change the layout. I sent one of the php pages to a coder and he told me it's all badly coded and that im better of redoing the whole script. It's not going to be easy and I don't really have the time at the minute.

Torncity

~100k members i think

I can't recommend playing it however :( the staff system and lag are horrible, many staff cheat/exploit their tools. Its a good game though (and a competitor to me) but my experience hasn't been too good with it
