I'm a new user here, so forgive me please, if I've created this Thread in incorrect category. I'm not from English-speaking country and my language can be not enough normal.
Well. In this Thread I want to discuss one Russian game: My Lands: Black Gem Hunting. The game is not very old - it was created 2 years ago, but it is very popular game in all Russian-speaking countries. It was rewarded as the best game of 2010 and 2011 years.
The slogan of this game is "The first on-line strategy game where you can earn and withdraw money". Of course it isn't simple to earn money in this game, but it's possible and it's legal! In the game you can find Black Gem - the most valuable resourse. You can use the Black Gem for getting some benefits in the game or withdraw it to an electronic purse.
More information you can read in the Encyclopadeia of the Game.
I've played this game in Russian for several months and I've discovered many secrets of succesful strategy in the game. The first secret is to be the first! The game is being tested now and the registration is now available. But October 15 the game will be restarted. And all options, all benefits, all features will be available.
It is interesting for me to play this game, to communicate with people in it. And it my dream is to learn English better, to understand other cultures. Today about 95% (~600 people) of players in the game are from Russian-speaking countries. But the server can contain about 12 000 players. I hope that soon there will be much more English-speaking players, so I invite you to register in the game in order to play, have fun, communicate, discover new things and even earn money!
If you are registered at the start of game, you will have a like chance to become Master of game!
I am ready to answer all your questions and help you with the game.
Excellent game design for a city building persistent browser based game. But the company has no experience advertising in English so I assume that they will have trouble getting an English-playerbase (edit: without losing money).
There are a few hundred Russian players atm. From whom I've met in the past two days.
