The Hundred Years War (HYW) combines role-playing, strategy, diplomacy, and teamwork into an unforgettable multi-player experience.When you join one of the many games you take on the persona of a noble in the 14th century. Being a noble in the 14th century is no piece of cake. The King demands your loyalty and always wants something from you. The Pope watches your actions to make sure you are upright and properly pious, if not he'll excommunicate you. Your neighbors look for opportunities to make your fiefdom their own. If the King gets a dislike for you, he may give them permission to attack you and take what they want. And let's not forget the family. You have sons and daughters to raise. Your sons' training cannot be ignored as one of them will take over the your realm someday. Your daughters need to be married off to the 'right' families that will secure your political ties. If all of that is not enough, you must manage your fiefs. They require constant care and attention. You'll have to decide on taxes and who to hire to run your growing fiefdom. MMORPG Data
Medieval society was different, but not so different as to be totally alien to what we experience in the 20th century. In the 14th century, people were born, grew up, fell in love, married, had children, and died. People ate, got sick, took baths, dressed up for special occasions, went to church, attended wedding receptions, gossiped, got drunk, went to work with hangovers, committed adultery, beat their spouses, looked after their elderly parents, grieved for their dead, went off to war, engaged in unprotected sex as adolescents., celebrated Christmas, went skinnydipping, kept dogs as pets, and consulted horoscopes.
