Galactic Imperia Review: Adding Space To Space Battles

Whenever we get to hear or play a space-themed online game that circles around the idea of us taking control of a ship or a fleet of ships, the first thing that comes to my mind is usually ‘do we get to blow things up?’ MMORPGs can easily provide us that release from the want of getting ships blown up, but the case is different when it comes to browser-based games.

Gold Farmer Bounty Hunting

Gold farming has been an issue in MMORPGs since the very beginning of online gaming. Players who offer real money in return for in-game currency quickly unbalance the economy within the game, resulting in a harsher difficulty to retrieve items for the average player.
