Talk:Massively multiplayer online real-time strategy game/Archive 1

message: Although I cannot remember it very much, infact I never owned it as it didn't get a European release,  but didn't Command and Conquer Sole Survivor allow a lot of players at once? Yeah you controlled one unit and all, but it's still a real-time strategy in a MMO setting. - Ferretgames 15:28, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Apart from the opening paragraph, this article is just a mess of adverts and random facts about random games. I don't know enough about the genre to rewrite it heavily, but we should be shaping this into at least a coherent history of the MMORTS - how the genre began, what developments its made and what the most notable examples of it are at the moment. --McGeddon 12:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that games like Travian (ex.Tribal Wars) would also fit under this category. I'm not saying we should list them all, but Travian is larger than Ikariam and I think it would provide a good picture of what these games are like.
P.S. Sorry but I haven't looked up how to hyperlink yet. Travian: http://www.travian.com/index.php  and  Tribal Wars: http://www.tribalwars.net/   Derekristow (talk) 06:09, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A browser based game would have to make more use of AJAX than Travian does (or be flash/java) to be included here. --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 08:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Browser based games are presenting the real first generation of MMO-RTS: OGame, Tribal Wars and Travian - each has millions of players, while a crap like Ballerium or whatever else are largely unknown to anyone. The technology has no real implication to the game itself. 92.112.82.182 (talk) 16:38, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Travian and Ikariam (both of which I have given many weeks to) must be included here unless someone has a definition of "strategy" that hasn't been mentioned. Players can choose sites for new villages, what to build in them, where (and when and against whom) to deploy units, and so on, just as in Civilization II, for example.

message: Okay, I'm going to make this clear. Mankind and Shattered Galaxy seem to have been bumped to the top of the list after I put it in alphabetical order. If I see them at the top of the list again, I'm going to assume that it's ADVERTISING, and remove them from the article. Same goes for other titles being changed around after I re-alphabetise them.
