Colony of Wars - Browser Game

Colony of War Home Page!

This game is finishing up it's closed beta run on the 18th, so there's only a few days left. It's closed beta, but if you go to the site and register, you'll get in. Go figure, I don't get it either. There are codes for it but the codes just give you like a starter package in the so called open beta. I don't believe there's a date for it yet, but it should be soon after this ends. Well anyway, Colony of War, it's a MMORPG browser game where you can easily connect by making a NetGame account or joining through Facebook. I mean you can make an account on anything nowadays if you have a Facebook, you know it's true. I started playing this game a few days back, I think Sunday when it started out. If you've played Evony, it's similar to half of this game. Half of the game is played in your colony where you learn the layout is extremely similar to Evony but different in small ways. The other half is where things get interesting, upon reaching level 5 you can create a "Unit" more simply known as a robot and you can pilot it into space. Go to 0:34 and 1:25 of this video to see part of the moving around in the game: Teh Video. With your unit you're able to move around outside your Colony/City which is part of a station. Pretty much the size goes Galaxy/Zone -> Space -> Station -> Colony. Colonies are player owned and are connected to a station where you can buy various things and an auction house deal is. Anyway, you can leave your colony and go into space and do quests such as go kill five of these or ten of that and get this item off of them. Considering there aren't as many quests currently it may jump from an easy quest to a hard one where you can't do it alone. But wait! Parties, oh mah gawd. Yeah, parties make things interesting, you can have up to I think five people in a party including yourself. Myself I've been helping out other players with most of the space fighting quests, people talk frequently in parties, it makes everyone able to help each other on quests, and allows you to get to knowing new people. Nobody wants to play alone in an MMORPG, massively multiplayer online. Hence the name =P Perhaps join a union(guild) and get to know your small group of friends and talk amongst yourself away from the public chat which can be nice as well. I don't own my Union but the leader isn't doing much and I might as well own it, but anyway, I've been helping people and talking to people in my union quite often. It makes things interesting for wait times and just while you're screwing around or if you have a question. So for the space portion as you need to be certain levels to enjoy certain parts of it, so far I've been killing tons of mobs with people and helping them with their quests. As well as an interesting thing called Harvesting. Which you can do five times a day. You can find asteroids that are always there and each time you do it currently it has like four different passages they'll tell you, you answer how you'll react to the situation, and then you can choose a time period ranging from five minutes to two hours where you'll gain a load of experience and pretty much gather resources depending on the type of asteroid. This is a good thing to do when you get off for an hour or two while waiting on a building. It brings in loads of experience for sure. Hmm.. I've found the game to be relatively fun, I'll be on during the rest of the Closed Beta and the Open Beta when it arrives. I'm currently snakester95 and am part of the Union of Hearts in the top 10. When the Open Beta arrives, I'll be back to my old clan name, Ravens. Make sure to keep an eye out for me. I'll be making a stand there for sure. Give it a look, even if you make an account for 10 or 20 minutes. Check it out and if you don't like it then at least you'll be able to trash talk it and know what you're talking about. If you like it, then wonderful, I hope you enjoy it for sure. This article is just a blog/review I'm writing and kind of just me rambling as you can see. =D Alright thanks for reading guys.. erm.. girls too, if they exist.
