How Long Does the Game Take To Play

A survey of our current players asked how long it took to play. The largest number of responses to the question "how much time do you spend in the game, BBS, and RTC" was in the 15-30 minutes per day range. On the other hand, many people responded that they read the BBS twice a day or more.

It takes a fair bit of time in the beginning of a game to search around, looking for good quality Non-Player Characters to hire. These NPCs are very valuable in managing your fiefs (lands) and as generals, spy's, etc. After you have a stable full of NPCs, your time in the game will drop quite a bit; most activities in the game can be done very quickly after that.

The game is all menu driven, but can also be used with the GFE (Graphic Front End program) Many players only log on a few times a week, and schedule some of their appearances to coincide with joint actions with other players. You can easily play the game using less than two hours of online time a week. This would include time spent on the BBS or messaging system reading and posting messages.
