Torn City

Has quite the learning curve but by keeping stuff behind levels, it keeps the player actively working to unlock cool stuff

Large game, lots of content but incredibly hard for new players. Fun yes, but so many game mechanics are designed to prevent you from playing: ending up in jail, hospital, hours & days of just travelling... gets boring really fast. But a large community and overall quite fun.

One of the best in its kind.
First of all this is a long term game, wich doesn't mean you won't have at the start, however unlike many games, you'll have fun even after months, even years.
You can get education (Bio, business, combat, computer, health, history, law, math, psy, self defence, sports science) wich will gives your char special perks and skills. You can start or work for a player owned company and many other things

Torn or Torn City to us long time players is the best online text base game on the net. With a huge amount of content it has something for everyone and will keep you playing for hours. With NO rests ever and constant updates and events. <br />
<br />
It is a long term strategy game, I have been playing it forever 3 years now! The thing that makes TC so addictive is the games community with special focus given to making friends and doing things as a group.<br />
<br />
The game doesn't take long to play, you can logon once 2-5 minutes a day or spend all day on it playing.<br />
