Gentlemen, I think I have discovered a /tg/ related Browswergame.

Gentlemen! Hear me out, Gentlemen. The game I am talking about is called Faery Tale Online, referred to as FTO.

You take the role of a Gentleman or Gentlelady born into a still unnamed world, a world mere 76 years old. A world, that covers, according to the FAQ, "tens of thousands of square miles", with the FAQ being old it might be more by now. A world, that houses many different races, such as humans, strange, blue, arctic elves, Troll people and bipedal canines (Eugh ...) and probably many more.
To explain my vague statement, there is no wiki or elaborate list of contents, for the player is supposed to find out as she plays. Also, it being still in the open-beta stage ensures frequently added content.
And that's it. The programmers gave the dear players a world and a system. All gold filled dungeons that eventually will be explored and liberated of monsters were created by players. All grand cities and citadels were made by people. Nothing but the world, the land, is pre made. However, as I mentioned, the world is young, mere (ingame) 76 years old. The camps of the various clans only recently began to develop into villages.
The administrators don't enforce, but heavily recommend roleplaying and metagaming is heavily frowned upon. The roleplaying even goes so far, that the player are born into the world. This adds a unique (and sometimes awkward) roleplaying experience, which is by itself already interesting.
However, this is the reason for the existence of a birth queue. When I signed up 7 month ago I started on place 370 and it took me 5 month to finally get born. Fortunately various measurements have been taken to shorten the queue and by now it moves faster than before and upon signing up you'll likely find yourself on spot 150 or so, which will approximately take "just" a couple of weeks until you are born.

Why I tell you about this, Gentlemen?

Gentlemen, I like war. Gentlemen, I love war.
