true smile it's only a game
it was good fight and our main issue was we just weren't able to be active enough as a family.

we were never going to be able to survive long against 97 ... too many shares across to wide an area.

The closest game to IC which I play on-line is Freelancer.

Player driven like IC they have clear rules of conduct for the players which makes the game play more fun, they also have good new starter stratigies in the forums.

Sometimes the IC main forums just seem to big for a new starter to find good info.

Having just come back to IC from a 3 year break it's interesting to see how much it has changed and yet stayed the same.

The strategy and thought required to play in a sucessful family which makes the game so appealing remains excellent. I would recommend IC to anyone wanting to develop both their team work and communication skills.

As a data junky the stats, calculations and balancing required still have me hooked and learning every round, I don't think i could ever tire of the mental challenge IC brings.

It's a brilliant platform where I've met people from all over the world, learnt to work with different time zones and across language barriers ... what an experience!

If I could make a single improvment it would be to get the MODs to clean out the abusive players. Over the years I've read everything from sexisim, racism, religious bigotry etc. I've had many friends quit IC becuse of this and it is the one element which really spoils the game play and yet is something which the MODs already have the tools to deal with.

It's not the volume of players, or the speed of the game which makes IC good but the quality of the people you meet and interact with.

I came through VERGO as a noob many years ago. It was a good filter for training players and setting down ground rules of play.

IC will go on regardless ..... after all I'm still playing games released 15 yrs ago so why not IC smile
