To Welch: Yeah, Clan Lord's okay, and I enjoy it, though not for the same reasons that I play EV. Clan Lord has a huge emphasis on community; in factm, the point of the game seems to be to provide a huge community, complete with things like jury duty. However, this can get boring after a while, and the replay value isn't the greatest, So.... Clan Lord is okay, but kind of mediocre. EV, on the other hand, I enjoy for it's replayability, completely changeable universe, interesting missions (which Clan Lord lacks, at least the start), and it's open-endedness (is that even a word?).
To everyone that doesn't know what Clan Lord is: It's a massively multiplayer RPG, sort of like Ultima Online. The emphasis in the game is on cummunity, not competition, and most people just wander around and chat. It's not bad, but not something I think the average EV fan would enjoy that much. However, if you like RPGs and have a reasonably fast internet connection, by all means check it out.
