- xpaladin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Archmage deserves +20 for old school and +1000 for awesome.

Nerd alert posings on digg.com
Priceless :-p - Blackumbrella, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Its easy to see the trend in Diggers. We all are about the same age and we all used to play Archmage when in middle/highschool!
- NapoleonGold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2God I totally forgot about this game.
I can't actually recall when I played it but I do know I played a fair bit waaayyyy back in the day. - RandomChaos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No bagpipes but alot of hot air. Got to be full of it to be a mage in this game.=P
Which is a good thing. - MerlynXLII, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Did they change something here? Because it looks the same as when I played it 6-7 years ago... (Aside from the new site address, that is.)
Still a good break thought, fun if you get a few friends to play with you. - elebrio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ya the original archmage closed down. The playerbase revamped the game and re-released it. There have been several changes and many more community features added.
- CharlesDarwin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Shillelagh shillelagh!
- Jack9, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yet Another Turnbased Website Game aka Trading time to play with meaningless stats....
- omega86yu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I might give it a try... Looks interesting.
- poochcat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1a fair bit has changed
but its still the same game :) - kazuhima, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1damn.. i used to play this when i was in 7th-8th grade.. now im a freshmen in college.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1OMG, i remember playing this game all the time in highschool back in like '98.
- rd1701, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's because you don't have to download it to play. You just need a webbrowser and a login id!
Man, haven't played this game in years. It used to be this and Archspace!!! - redflame11, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Okay, because some people dont understand. Its not an MMORPG, its a text based strategy game. There is a huge difference.
- Hellman109, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Watch out, they may realise gamers are not all 10-20 year olds!
Oh noes that will kill certain US politicians arguments against mature games! - shertzerj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Bah, I dunno. Nothing beats a rousing game of LoRD via BBS. The 10 minutes a day I looked forward to the most.
- elebrio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's funny because there is another archmage clone made by the spanish speaking playerbase called LORD.

- Buffon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0most of the links dont work there :(
- khavron, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0One helluva game! try playing it for a week or two and I guarantee you, it's almost close to impossible that you wont get hooked forever.
How addictive it gets? I've been playing this game for more than 3 years. Those two guys up there, bane and sadi, they've been playing this for 9 years. Probably the perfect game to kill time in the office.
Really good stuff.. - OropheR, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1246 diggs. Not bad , not bad. Please check this to find out how to boost a good MMOG...
http://www.digg.com/software/The_digg_to_boost_your_MMOG_community_A_simple_example - Bane13579, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I have played a lot of MMOs. Mostly MMORPGs...
Yes, MMORPGs have pretty graphics. Yes you can level your guy up to max if you play for 4 hours a day for 3 months straight. Yes, they're fun. But, there's the monthly fee. And then there's the fact that you have to spend so much time on it just to get to "the good part."
I've been playing this game for, between Archmage and The Reincarnation, roughly 9 years. It is by far the best MMO I've played. The community is entertaining, the gameplay is deep, and it is all direct competition with other players. You don't have to run around killing randomly generated goons for XP, every time you engage in combat it is directly with another player. And best of all, it only takes about 20 minutes a day to play and be relatively succesful. Sure, if you want to get into the community, or get into the best guilds it takes more time than that. But you don't have to do that in order to enjoy the game.
Simply the best text based strategy game to ever be made. Try it out. If you want to know more PM me on the UBB there, and I'll try my best to help you out. - abbefaith, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3well there should be!
- sadinoel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Lord blows compared to The-Reincarnation.
TR rox.
Everyone should play this game.
The devs are on top of everything, taking out the cheaters, improving the game...and best part is it's 100% FREE.
For real FREE... not the kind of "free" you play for a bit then find out you need to buy "credits" to get the cool stuff...
Awesome game. - elebrio, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6ROFLMFAO there are no bagpipes in the game for the record.
- iveo83, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This is pretty weak. Now i dont feel bad paying for WoW
- mroffroad, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3NERD ALERT!!!!
- elebrio, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Hehe i used to play it for a while.. u play? My mage names were todesblick, sagarmathaji, ***** Money. u?
