... ... ...Personally, I've been playing it for 2 years and I'm not likely to give it up anytime soon. It is technically poor... there is nothing groundbreaking about it. The graphics are substandard. It's buggy.

It one of the first Online Massive Player Parallel World

the game got better after vibes fixed a lot of problems and put out a new version 1.8. This version is definetly better than the previous versions 1.6 and 1.7. This game is addicting, has good graphics ONLY if you have a 3D graphics card, and you get to meet people around the world. The downfall is that you have to put up with vibes but i think they are getting better like 1.8 did. Also, if you do play join the guild UGG.

MANKIND is a great game. It allows yu to do anything you want when you want to do it. Take me, for example, i lead a clan of united mercinaries (for those who are interested, look me up in Andeth Urgee, my name is Admiral Senrab.) The posibilities are endlss.

Where did Vibes go wrong?

Let's make it simple, this game would absolutely rock if it weren't for the fact that you get booted off every ten minutes and that your buildings and units don't get lost every time you sign back on. I've written Vibes tech support time and time again and the only response I ever get is that they're working on the problem. You'll hear this a lot from other people who signed up with Vibes.

A great game idea. Unfortunatly poorly executed, slow support, no real manual.

If Vibes make an effort, it is salvageable.

Not recommended for the novice player.

Once they take the bugs out of the new version, a nice game. Once they actually write a manual, a great game.

Wait a little while

Mankind seems to have a pretty good game at it's core. The problem is that the good part of the game is having trouble escaping it's troubles. I've been playing for a while (> 1 year), and while I sort of enjoy it, it is a constant struggle. I'd say give it 3-4 months; It should be a little better by then

Unfortunately NOT that good

It is unfortunate that this title does not live up to its expectations. While initially the gameplay is rather SIMCITY'ish, it quickly dulls as you realize that the MULTITUDE of clicks necessary to accomplish any task will leave you with carpal tunnel syndrome. Coupled with the poor communications, and the fact there is little or no multiplayer interaction, UNLESS you accidentally stumble upon somone. Places this game at the bottom of the heap. MAYBE the creators will start to listen to their players and change the gameplay, ONLY THEN, will this game RESURRECT itself.

First ever persistent universe

This game is the first ever really MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game), in UO or EQ you've got seperate servers. Here there is one Universe with 100 000 players. Furthermore the world is persistent, you can build hundreds of ships, stations. Definitly there is no other games like that and it's the first one and the most technicaly advanced.
