I must admit, I've played around in quite a few webrowser based games, but none has ever struck me as being something above average. Most of them put you in charge of a country or a warrior, you grind your way to the top and that's basically it.
Right now - you felt that one coming, didn't ya? - I am playing a game that has a little more potential and... I must say: depth.
The game is called Erepublik [http://www.erepublik.com].
In this browser based game you can play a citizen of any country (they have RL names) you choose and help rise that country climbing the ranks.
Now the catch here is, you can do this in more then just the battle or fight way. You could focus on a military career of course: but how about, becoming a politician (and in the end even represent your country as it's president) or buy a company and try to gain financial independence. And for those who like it: you can still grind all if you want.
If you ever grow tired of bashing spiders in basements or building your army with soldiers, tanks and what have you, then I would like to see you there.
The game can be a bit daunting in the beginning, and really the developers still have loads of work to do in improving some parts of the game, but come on: any webrowser game that gets into the Guardian [http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/pda/2008/feb/27/elevatorpitcherepublikoffer], is serious business right?
Allright, see you there (or not: remember it is free choice!)
