You may have had bad experiences playing RWK in the past, the people were mean, the items were too expensive, and it seemed like all the kingdoms were already taken… but that is no longer the case.

Race War Kingdoms has now launched a second server and everyone who decides to play there must start from scratch! Now is your chance to find a quiet corner of the world for you to begin building your empire and enhancing your skills.

Perhaps you think RWK is only for the players willing to spend a lot of cash… not anymore! There are only a couple of low priced upgrades that you can optionally purchase – the vast majority of the items that once costed hundreds of dollars are now questable for free.

RWK now also has its own version of Texas Hold ’em Poker where you can gamble your game items with other players. Earning items yourself is fun, but it’s more fun taking them from others!

From everyone at Race War Kingdoms we wish you happy holidays!

Magic ping code, flying axe-dwarves, screaming message boards — all this has led us to Texas Race War: Hold’em Kingdoms. Thank you, and welcome to 2005.

New server (should be much faster) and "new" format. The latter is still a work in progress as I stumble through the CSS wilderness blindly.

According to the New York Times, most blogs are about sex.

There are as many different kinds of blogs as there are human impulses — sex blogs, dating blogs, political blogs, technology blogs and music blogs. But 70 to 80 percent are varieties of personal journals. […] And the favorite topic of personal bloggers is sex.

I bet the Internet is somehow involved.

Kick back, kids, it’s time for a history lesson.

Apparently a previous post made some nostalgic for Ultima Online a touch angry. (Nice format, by the way. Very tasteful.) And the reasons why, I suspect, are illustrative, although not in the way the author thinks.

You may notice this blog running as fast as, well, not at all. This is because the loving gaze of Slashdot is now on the previous entry. Which means that, well, you probably can’t read this.
