A game I started years ago and which has been running very successfully
since is still looking for many more players :) ... Cantr II is an
online, free, textbased roleplaying game in which players create their
own virtual societies as the game interface does not define any
particular political system, economic system, monetary system, etc. You
can play vicious criminals, shrewd politicians, prudent commanders,
revered monks, romantic Don Juans, or anything you can imagine!
Cantr II can be found at http://www.cantr.net
The game has currently over 1800 players, playing over 5500 characters,
in 10 different languages.
