2 stars
Version: Race War Kingdoms 1.1
Pros: It is very detailed in classes/information.
The combat is easy to do.
There are some helpful GM's online.
The intro is the best part of the game!
Cons: Other than the intro to the game the graphics are terrible.
It's not a 2D game like the decription says. It's at best a text game with graphics.
Unclear goals makes it frustrating for newbies.
The fights while easy are increadably boring.

Version: Race War Kingdoms 1.0
"Best broweser game, ever, Period ~ Arcturus"
Pros: Racewak Kingdoms or RWK as it's called by its gamer base, is an MMORPG of epic proportions. So if you arn't prepared for a long term commitment or ready to shell out 2-3 thousand US, this game isnt for you. But if your a gaming freak who is easily addicted to simple meanial tasks this game is for you. Now that may paint a bleak picture of the game, and your right, but lets face it, thats the exact type of game most of us are searching for. something that will help us through a night shift, or a boring sunday afternoon when there is nothing on, and this game will do that for you and more. Often moral and political debate break out in chat, which is fun to participate in and even more fun to spectate. Throw in the fact that you can play a hand of poker while you level up, the RWK experience is second to none in keeping you busy. Here are some more reasons why RWK deserves a 5/5 rating:
1) MMORPG
2) Hugly economy based (Most addictive since Diablo 2)
3) Completely free to play, but an option to pay for items if you like it.
4) relativly lax policies on language and other taboo subjects.
5) Relatively intelligent gamer base.
6) simple and linear, yet complex (As demonstrated in equipment/enchantment (relic) types.
7) many quests and monsters to fight on 5 different planes
8) Montly competition with prizes to the winner, including a pretty sweet PC for the best dueler in the game
9) Many different class/race combonations
10) You can log on for 5 minutes or 5 hours and no one will even know unless you spawn a beast or speak :P
Become a part of the legend, and maybe one day someone will say hey! I remember you from server 1!
Cons: Even though RWk has so many positives, nothing is perfect, here are the most obviously, and most common negatives.
1) Very difficult to advance without spending money. It is now possible to get EVERY item in the game without spending a cent. This process though would take in the range of 2-3 years playing about 3-4 hours a day, which most of us don't have the time for.
2) For every honest player there is a dishonest one, so be very careful when trading (On the plus side there has been more stringent trade policy put in place to protect players from losing real money in outside game trades)
3) Small wait times inbetween actions, although realistic, can become annoying in a game of this type.

Version: Race War Kingdoms 1.0
Pros: The game offers unlimited free play, so you could spend 24/7 logged in if you were so inclined. Also, you can create an unlimited number of accounts and try all the different races and classes. Text based but surprisingly addictive, some of us have been playing obsessively for more than 4 years. There are many milestones to work toward (levels, skills, type of critter you can kill, crafting, kingdoms) so there is always a challenge you can strive to meet. You can get satisfaction competing against the odds of the game itself and don't need to compete head to head against other players. If you like to fight real people instead of critters, there are 450,000 kingdoms you can aim to conquer.
Cons: Some high level players make a sport of abusing newbies, so having a thick skin is useful. It's the same as you see in other multiplayer games. Use the /ignore command freely with them. A small number of players control a large part of the games territory and economy, so getting started is challenging.

Pros: This game is the best game ever. If you like real time mmorpg then this game is absolutely something for you :)
Cons: It lags at time, and it takes time to become big and able to fight access beasts
