Also, I really liked the Builders League United and Reliable Excavation Demolition part! You were allot more thorough than the other guides with a game that, as you pointed out, offers little if any backstory, way to go! Oh, and let me know if the book is any good, k?

If I did play any, it'd be something like Eve or Puzzle Pirates - the others currently don't interest me because they contain so much grind, even if there is some nice social interaction and pleasant graphics.

EVE is kind enough to let the progress bars keep rolling when you are logged off, at least... Puzzle Pirates lets me grind even with a lapsed subscription, but it's also the very rare example of actual skill-based grinding.
