I was very disappointed with Pharaoh when it was first released. Dynasties is awesome. It's like Pharaoh went on a date with Troy TW and it went very well! There is so much that has been added and it's a lot of fun. Very impressed.

I'm enjoying this very much. It isn't anything you haven't seen before. It is similar to other medieval style survival and crafting games but there is a LOT of materials to craft with. There's a lot of crafting tables to discover which open up as you find certain materials. At the moment there is little help though the game to understand what you need to progress. for instance I created an Iron Axe as I needed it to access the next tier of wood and went about chopping hundred of trees to get this 2nd tier wood but did't get any. I had to find help on discord to discover i needed to be level 15 in woodcutting to get the wood. It never explained that.

The only negative thing I would say at the moment is that the standard edition only gives you one plot and that is not a lot of room when you consider the amount of crafting tables/blocks/spinning wheels/anvils/hives etc that you need. you need at least 2 plots to build a house in my opinion although you could destroy and rebuild your tables and place them inside once you've built it. There's no moving crafting tables etc. A second plot needs dlc which costs £15+ depending on how many you want. I think four is the maximum which is expensive.

Overall I'm really enjoying it and has played 14 hrs in a couple of days.

The Normans.... YESSSS! It took me a few goes to get into empires but i stuck with it and loved it. Kingdoms is looking even better. There go my weeknights....

Still a great game after all these years. Plenty of dlc and all very cheap as well as some free content. Still hours of fun.

A very enjoyable MMO. Sure it has problems and there is room for improvement. I tend to play late at night and never have to queue but can understand the frustration. It is a new game however so you'd expect some teething problems. The crafting is fun, I enjoy the combat and the map is huge. Plenty to do although the quests can be repetitive. I'm enjoying it though and the setting is very different from other MMOs.

I'm going to recommend the game as I like the concept. I like how the different professions work. How important food is (although at the moment it's just plain annoying). The game is in early access of course and it's not a lot of fun at the moment. Feels like you are wandering around an empty server at times. Most of your time is spent scratting for food to keep your hunger down. There seems very little accessible food in the wilderness. I do like the potential of the game and hope it works. It could be a great game in time.

I've played Neverwinter for a few years now and and a D&D and Forgotten Realms fan. This isn't anything like Neverwinter Nights depite being called the successor to that game. Neverwinter Nights was a true RP experience if you played on the player made permanent worlds and this game is a standard MMO. I do enjoy it for what it is. I like the crafting system and you can still levle up your characters without actually questing if you are high enough level to pray to your diety. It's improving all the time and is very solo friendly.

The big negative in this game is the cost of the DLC. I don'y ever pay for in game currency and you can play this game without it but it does restrict you. It takes an age to farm enough crystals to convert to Zen which is what you need to buy things. What does interest me in the market is the packs that allow you to play other races but the cost is extortionate. To but a pack that includes new race it's the equivalent of £40. If you played half a day everyday for weeks you might just be able to make just enough to afford that. They really need to lower the cost of the DLC as it's the one thing that puts me off the game and I'm not alone.

I have to say that I haven't played this game for years and I enjoyed it when it came out but decided to re-install it recently. You can bump the graphics setting up to modern standards and it looks absolutely fantastic! I adjusted the aspect ration to 16:9 and was then ably to choose 1920 x 1080 display and bumped all the advanced setting up to max and wow! I mean we're not talking Skyrim here but for the age of the game it looks wonderful. Now I can play it all over again!

I'm an old Ultima fan and loved Ultima IX Ascension when it came out in the 90's. I wasted many an hour on UO back in the early 2000's when there were very few MMO's around unlike today. I saw this game advertised some time ago, didn't really take much notice and didn't link the Avatar name to Ultima. I only read the reviews of the game yesterday and realised what it was. I bought the game today and have just spent the last few hours wandering around the starting area. Haven't even drawn my sword (other than in training). You can spend hours just exploring the local area. As a former Ultima fan I am very happy. The game is rough at the moment but still very enjoyable with plenty to do. There's a single player and online multiplayer game available. Absolutely love it and can only imagine how good this is going to become.
