The Star Wars Combine

Over five years ago I was in the market for a online Star Wars Game that was free. There was not many choices out there, but one did show up as being very popular and that was the Star Wars Combine. I joined this game not expecting much as from the screen shots showed it to be an old style of gaming primarily text based and few graphics. This did not deter me as I remember playing old Dungeons and Dragons games when I was a teenager.

The game itself has been in BETA now for over 12 years but seems to be still moving in the right direction. The entire Admin and Developer base is all volunteers so what do you expect right? But this was and is causing issues as the admin are lazy and sometimes hostile to the user base. They also have a hard time with suggestions; a lot of filtering going on.

But all flaws put to the side there is some good things to be said about the game. The game is supposed to be a simulation and if you can get around all of the fluff, no combat, and like economy based games this is probably a game that you can enjoy.
