Tel the Gamer<p>I used to play a lot of Persistent Browser Games. They are now considered a bit old hat and past their heyday, but there's still plenty of them around according to <a href="https://pbbg.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">pbbg.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>.<br> <br>Some of them have been going for a couple of decades, mostly with a dwindling but still active player base. I still dabble in the zombie apocalypse game <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/UrbanDead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UrbanDead</span></a>.</p><p>Others that I have left behind include...<br><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Battrick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Battrick</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/NationStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NationStates</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/eRepublik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eRepublik</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Travian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Travian</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Die2Nite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Die2Nite</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Popmundo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Popmundo</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/DolphinSim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DolphinSim</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/BlackoutRugby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackoutRugby</span></a></p><p>I might do individual retrospectives of them, but normal reasons for quitting include... <br>- Excessive time spent number crunching<br>- Plateauing of in-game progression<br>- Pay to win<br>- Toxic player base<br>- Repetitive game play<br>- Site closing down</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/browsergames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>browsergames</span></a></p>
