I've just been doing other things, such as making a dragonball z website and playing the coolest realtime strategy web game i've ever played.

It's called planetarion.
It's so cool.
the website is www.planetarion.com

This is the last round though, sniff sniff any of you guys play it?

Well they've had a fall in users and they can't afford to have another round (So they say)
But I just love this game, no wonder they're in debt.
Something tells me though they might pull through from it.

there was this fantastic game called plantarion for a while. Basically Planetarion round 2 but with gardeners and flowers and stuff, and 10 minute ticks.

It was class.

I used to play planetarion ages ago, back when it was in it's third round. I didnt like it very much, largly due to the fact that if you were a newbie to it, all the experienced characters came and picked on you until you were dead, and then stole all your land.

I was then gonna try again about a month ago, but was shocked when i found out that you now had to pay for it. Poor.

maybe, but they still have huge debts, and the servers they now have could make them much more money if put to other uses.

Surely now they've made the main outlay they should keep it going then?

If they couldn't cover the maintenance costs with the playing fees then surely they'd have stopped it earlier, rather than run further into debt. If they could, then would it not make sense to keep it going?
