I really enjoyed RK for months and happily paid to help it along. The problem is there is a clique that runs so much of the game that anyone who wants to move up or try to change things at all is shot down and pushed away. It's happening to me right now as this little group works to protect their friends.

I've noticed more and more people who have to deal with this clique are leaving the game. I've let my own donations lapse as I'm not sure if I can stay or not. I don't mind fighting an uphill battle, but with the current structure its more like fighting the ocean with sticks.

Unless the administrators of RK work to remove the absolute control players like Lynet have, I just can't recommend this game. It's fun for awhile, but when you run into these people, you end up feeling like you've wasted all your time, energy and money. What's the point in that?

I thought this game was posted waaaaay before

[Law keeper]

so did I. I think it was.

Btw shut up, Arcanum. There's no need to take out your anger on Renaissance Kingdoms here. Do it on your pillow or something. Leave these boards to the MATURE people.

I might have figured it out. Someone accidently put the old forum on the new game. And when searching for the game, there are the same 2 games with 2 different forums. The other one has the introductory post and a post with a link to this page. And im pretty sure the other forum is locked.

Law keeper, do you want to say mature content? Because that seem to be your level ...
This game is stupid, is wrong build from begining. Maybe a correct name should be Mafia, it have nothing in common with Renaissance. The criminal organizations and official leaders are in most of cases the same; only here there is no second party, because any other groups are easy eliminated with invented trials. Play it, but you will be only a peasant or go and praise people like Trect who cannot play any other game with forum or chat without being banned ...

Ok first the good. It's a great concept for a game, very different from any of the others out there. It isn't a hack and slash MMORPG if that is what you are looking for, instead you get to live in the world of medieval Europe starting off a simple peasant and working your way up as a landowner to a whole lot more. The maximum level in the game is just 3 which doesn't sound like a lot, but takes ages. The game can literally be played for 5 minutes a day, all you need to do is get a job and feed yourself. But the large part of the game is the interactions with others which brings me to the best feature of its game.. the community. Yes the same bunch of idiots arguing on this forum (I'm sorry idiots but I guess I'm one too). Jokes apart, the game interface itself doesn't have much for interacting with others, the taverns in each town (which allow you to chat with others and buy food/drinks) allow for only 8 people max. at a time. Which needless to say is limiting. Therefore a lot of the game takes place as RP in the forums.

This is one game where a large part of the game takes place within the forums.

Which leads me then to the bad about this game. Sadly the management of the site are well a bunch of #$%#|es. They have a great community of willing volunteers who devote time to help maintain the forums, but unfortunately this is not appreciated nor respected by the site's owners. They run rough shod over them and do as they please. Aside from that, the site is heavily into self promotion, I know most of these free games do that, but imagine getting mails in-game from the owners asking you to visit these sites to vote .

But here is the most disturbing bit of news that I have discovered about this site. There have been cases of some users of the forum preying on under-age children, of which there seem to be quite a few. Now most sites finding out about that kind of behavior or even remotely suspecting anything like that, would swiftly shutdown on any users doing this. But not this site. The site owner, not only has not kicked these few miscreants but has actually defended them! Asking for proof, which I think is valid, but on being given concrete proof (yes I've seen it myself) he has refused to act and turned a deaf ear to the pleas of many site admins.

Therefore if you are a child, or have children considering playing this game, I would recommend you think twice before you enter! You enter at your own risk..

In conclusion this might be a great game, if the current lot of owners made some serious changes and showed greater accountability to the community, and a lot more transparency... all of which it sadly lacks now.

Let the flames begin...

I've played RK for several months now and have to admit, it is highly addictive. It wasn't at first, it took me a good few weeks to get into it. Everyone in my town was so friendly and helpful and within days I had met a lot of cool ppl. Then I joined the forum and made more friends and joined a family, which are a lot of fun.

As Lostorpheus pointed out, certain things do spoil the game, some ppl do have too much power and can dictate the game, eg who becomes Regent ect. It is way too cliquish, which makes it hard not only for newbies but for everyone who isn't in a clique to make something of their character.

Also ppl take it too seriously, and a lot of backstabbing goes on, ok it is a game.. but its real ppl behind the characters and feelings sometimes get hurt.


But, the good outweighs the bad. If you enjoy roleplaying, RK is the game for you. Ive met so many friends and I met my boyfriend in RK )). This game is definatley worth a look, you can be a hardworking loyal member of your community or an evil tyrant, or both..lol.

PS. Trect! that made me giggle.. his poor girlfriend..lol.

@whatmeworry, There was never any evidence of that. I have been banned for 5 days for being part of a guild on RK that had "sexual content" you know how rowdy us girls can get..lol. Unfortunatley, some of my friends have been banned for good We did brake the rules, yes.. but so have other ppl and they have been given chance after chance. Why didn't the mods intervine at the time and gives us a warning? Anywho its done now, it just seems a bit harsh.

And when you say a site that was preying on underage kids.. have you seen any evidence of this? There seems to be a lot of talk about it, but no evidence?
