What happened to Outwar and...

I used to play Outwar way back in the day when you Just attacked other people, rose in ranks, and joined crews. Now you got these Quests and a Little map you can move on and all this other crap. Talk about a major overhaul.

Remember when it looked like this?
Although I think I played before the stats thing.

I remembered the game today, after not playing it for years, and checked it out and just wow it is horrible (In my opinion of course).

And...

Anyone know any other browser based games that are "like" the old version of outwar? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
