Atlantica Online

So I stopped playing DDO for a while, and i started looking into other MMOs. I heard from somebody over xfire about 'Atlantica Online', a turn based strategy MMO. I thought that sounded interesting, so i started reading up about it.

As of now I have played the game for just over 5 hours, and its really fun and addicting. Its basically fantasy with elements of steam punk. They have monsters roaming around which are representative of a group of monsters. When a player has engaged one of these groups then a symbol appears above the monsters head and nobody else can attack them. You start off with just your character, but later on (rather quickly actually) you can purchase Mercenaries which help you in your battles. The benefits of teaming with other players comes in because you get to use your mercenaries in conjunction with theirs, which ultimately balances out the party and allows you to take on tougher monsters. Partys can only support a maximum of 3 players, but thats saying alot, i havent even been playing a week and already i have 4 mercenaries under my command, combine that with my character and take that times 3 and thats 15 characters on the field, so you can see how quickly it can go from a small band to a miniature army

Anyways it worth a try if you ever get bored of DDO....heres the link to the site: http://atlantica.ndoorsgames.com/center/default.asp
