I've never played WoW, but I have played Empire, and let me tell you,
it wastes a lot more than 6 hours a day!

I've been hesitant to play another round after last time, when
I spent almost a full week just conquering the world. Got way
behind on my work.


I personally like the DOS version best. It reminds me so much
of some of my early games. Same beautiful graphics and easy
controls.
