It was about 10 months ago since I started playing this browser game named IKARIAM. It was my friend who introduced this game to US(his classmates). At first, I am the one who became a critic of this game and i said it was just a WASTE OF TIME.. Imagine building some kind of medieval kinds of buildings and you need to wait for about at least 10mins for the building to be completed. Actually we we're more addict to a more common game named DOTA. Being just a noob for the said game, i used to be killed by my fellow classmates and instead of waiting for my hero to be re spawned, I'm playing my Ikariam Account, just to utilize the time being wasted..
As time passes by, we didn't expected that our colonies would expand. Our ranks would increase. And our society to be stable. And then we created an alliance that constitute our group and met new people also playing the browser game. The boring game is already starting to pump up our interests. And in my point of view, it was not the points earned, not the fame you may get, nor the strength of your colonies against other that boost up my interest in the game, it was having new friends from other places in the country.
I am a person who likes to know other people especially if we do have a common interest(and ikariam suits that common likes we have).
Few months had passed until a friend of ours introduced the forum board part of ikariam. It was just the same as a discussion board for all matters concerning the game and there's a spam board section too that you may discuss un-ikariam issues. I'm not the kind of person who likes to read and discuss things with other people in a a board like the ISAKAY. But again, there's something that really attracts me.. The Talakayan section where both parties concerned in the discussion were exchanging boos and other intimidating words just to provoke a player(how stupid I was that it was the one who catches my interest but indeed it was true).
And there it goes, our alliance had conflict with other alliance and we were the cast of the said Discussions. Being the frontliner of our group, I was one who blows some TRASH TALKS with the other alliance. At first I thought it was just normal. I really had no idea what i am talking about, (when i checked the thread now, I used to laugh cause i didn't imagine how rude am I).
Oh i forgot to explain what is IKARIAM. Ikariam is a browser game that let you decide to construct the town of your own. Expand the town, colonize an island, build troops and fleets, declare war with another party and it was just like the same how people manage to live during the colonization years. Troops like slingers, phalanx, archers, and gunsmen were the basic armies of a player and after some researches you may create robot, diving boats, bombardiers and many more. It was actually a game of strategy(how you will establish a stable capitals and colonies), a game of survival(in times of war, how will your citizens, armies and fleets survive the oppression of other players), and a game emotion (in the forum board you may encounter below the belt blows and may trigger you emotion). But being an elite player of the said game, It really enhance my character. It teaches me how to manage my time, really enhances my thinking abilities and it strengthen me emotionally..
I know lot of people may not understand what I am saying but for those who will try to play the game and try to love the game, mind to tell you, you wont regret this..
^_^
Happy Playing Guys...
