... doesn't make it a bad game.

 

Is the cry of the Travian Fanboi.

 

No, what makes it a bad game is the fact that the best advice anyone can give you if you get farmed by a big alliance or catapulted or 'crop locked' is "delete your account".
Seriously - check the official forums.
Imagine a game of Chess where the advice if someone captured your Rook was "resign and restart"?

It is a production race.  Pure and simple.  And an RMT production race at that.
You pay real money to buy gold to increase your production output by 25%... so those that don't pay money can't compete.

 

Compare this to games like Urban Dead, Pardus and a host of others.
Yeah, you have premium accounts there too - but it doesn't stop people competing because of the way the game is designed.

You come up against a "Plus Account" player in Travian and you can either buy gold too or give up.

Not to mention that it is not an MMORPG.  It is a Logistic Spreadsheet management 'game'.

Can't believe it's listed here.

Flame away Fanbois - but be warned I can link to threads on this in the official forums.

Travian is impossible to play without paying, you will end up being robbed of all your materials all the time

and it is by far the most expensive game I ever played.

I was on the winning team of S1.travian.se  last and the game is ok, if you can play 7/24 and can afford it
