  There was also a game -- "Battlemaster," essentially you played some noble lord in a low-ish-fantasy universe. Vaguely game-of-thronesy feeling (before the show, though). I didn't get very far (although someone was nice enough to give me a province, and I dutifully... paid taxes and tried to avoid screwing up whatever plans I thought they had going). Some players from Urban Dead (the spark more or less came from the ridleyband resistance front, I think) eventually made Nexus War, which had a similar feel to it, but better design (skill trees, etc) and a more interesting theme (angels vs humans vs demons). Eventually that shut down, and somebody from the community made a similar game called Nexus Clash. That's still running, although I guess the population is probably ever-dwindling. This sort of asynchronous mostly HTML based game seemed to be really good at fostering a community. Play the game a bit, find a faction of some sort, and then join their phpbb forum...
