Dragon Empires is a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game where you group with friends into clans and compete for the ownership of the 50 cities. As you grow your empire you tax and expand the cities you own, foster trade and a strong economy and keep would-be rivals from challenging your position.
Perhaps the battle for cities doesn't interest you. If this is the case, head off into the wilderness and hunt monsters, or even the outlaws who prey on traders. Or why not be an outlaw yourself and strike fear into the hearts of all you meet!
If making money is most important to you the life of a trader and merchant may be the road you chose. Build your mercantile skills and start producing goods. Even while you are offline or asleep your factory will make items to be sold in the city's marketplace and when you log back in you can craft these goods into extra special items if you wish.
Of course, all this manufacturing needs resources so traders will need to move goods to the cities where production is heavy. The flow of supply and demand and changing city ownership results in a constantly changing economy and new trade routes to seek your fortune on!
Will you be a devious merchant, struggling for economic dominance, or will you be a bounty hunter, removing the threat of evil from the land. Or perhaps you will simply make a living trading goods between cities. These are some of the choices you are free to make!
