There is a new MMORPG out now and in public beta called "World of Tanks" It's really fun and not nearly as complex as World of Warcraft or Guildwars.

Seeing if anyone would like to join a clan called The Mellophant clan (clan marker would be [MF] as in PixieBob[MF])

You don't need a particularly fast computer and any cable or dls will do to get good game play.

The game starts you out with thee tanks, one Russian, One German, and One USA, (WWII Vintage) and you build from there.

The client download is a bit over 2 gigs and when it goes live in about a month, you can still use that to play for free. They make money by selling gold but you don't have to buy any to play, it just takes longer to get a better tank.

There's a lot of strategy to learn but not a steep learning curve to at least get in the game.

You play by seleting your favorite tank and hitting the red BATTLE button above the screen...then you wait...in about a minute, you will find yourself on a team of about 12. There are two teams and the team that either takes the other teams base or kills everyone on the other team wins. You get spendable points depending on a wide variety of varibles that are applied during the game vs what you do.

yea, it's not that intellectual, but it's relaxing fun if you arn't competitive.

I am going to buy some gold when it comes out and start a clan if enough people want to waste precious time like this. Of course, it would be better just to watch TV and have sex all day but those options are not available to all of us.
