Dark Ages

I have been bouncing back to each and every old MMO I used to play and its very frustrating. I dont care as much for graphics as I do for gameplay and I used to really enjoy Dark Ages. Dark Ages is an online role-playing game set in a fantasy world of faeries and magic. The game is very simplistic in its mechanics.  Nothing spectacular there.  The uniqueness of it is in its level of player control.  You need other players for everything, even joining your chosen class.  Players make up the police force, legal system and the clergy.

Dark Ages is extremely role-play sensitive.  Even your choice of name can greatly influence your ability to function well in society.  Certain non-role-play words are "translated" for you.  For instance, "afk" is translated to "dreaming."  "LOL" becomes "laughing." If you are a solitary player, you probably won't get far in Dark Ages for several reasons.  The primary reason is that the bulk of the player base is made up of old-timers who are well entrenched and set in their ways.  Unless you are outgoing enough to pierce those walls, you'll probably feel rather alone.

Dark Ages doesn't have active GM's, instead, they appointed some players as Rangers and Knights, who keep the justice within the game, and report anything unusual to DA Team. The DA Team takes a long time to answer player tickets, and most of times, their answer doesn't help at all. Standard answers such as: "We'll investigate further about it" makes you realize how much they care. Dark Ages takes a lot of time to make a decent character, and after you're finally done, you realize that you have spent a long time just to become another one among many
