An online site where anyone can register for free and get on one of the four servers (however, one, "Revelation" is reserved for paying, or "
Gold" members only) and
play a strange-yet-addictive strategy game that is sort of
like a live-action version of chess. You control several different "creatures" (for lack of a better word) that each have a certain range of movement and attack on the playing field (which vaguely resembles a chess board). Some attack physically, with swords or knives, and some have spell-casting ablilities. All have specific attack strength, a blocking percentage, and a certain amount of
hit points. You have a rating, which is affected each
time you win or lose. You start out with a rating of 720. You can also be invited to join a "clan" or group of players who can communicate via a private clan
chat. The site features a lobby where you can look for other people to battle, and which contains what is basically a chat room.
This site is largely dominanted by
n00bs who are trying to figure out how to
play, a cadre of
Gold members who appear to be constantly looking for other Golds to battle, desperate people looking for cybersex (sample line: "Any hot
girls wanna cyber press 333"), spammers and creepers who
don'
t have anything of much importance to say, people desperately seeking to join clans, and average people who just are looking for a good battle.

night and battled some people."

addicted to Tactics Arena Online for
like, oh, two days."
