SOL is the oldest persistente massif Multiplayer Browserspiel of the Welt.Es is a Science Fiction Wirtschaftssimulation the goods cycles, trade and war on planets illustrates.

It gave already before SOL Browserspiele, which however either persistent (store the personal play progress) or for interaction (e.g. stellar Crisis) between the players were designed. At the same time there was post office play, which were persistent and also more playerable, however had one to the admitting gift a postcard or a disk to the play line to send. The third play variant were MUDs, which were as only genuine MMOGs, however purely text-be based and nearly always Adventures.

SOL was graphically, substantial more playerable the first play, which persistent, and by Browser was operated and the concepts of the post office plays with immediate interaction between the players united. All today's Browserspiele avails itself of same concepts.

Play concept

Each player represents a Imperator, which begins its career on an isolated planet. It has dependent on its Entwicklungsstufe a certain number of report per day, in order to drive the goods production of own colonies in front. The Imperator can plan and in order give thus in peace its new buildings, before it releases a report. Newer Browserspiele advances production in real time, it gives there no report, which the player must call up if necessary.

The play ends for the Imperator, if the Imperium reaches stage 11. However most Imperatoren it avoids to ascend on stage 11, in order to be able to further-play their Imperium arbitrarily for a long time. SOL does not know RESETs, which are Soliversum since its beginning persistent contrary to other on-line plays.

Expiration of play

At the beginning of the play the beginning Imperator gets a planet, which it can remove according to its desires. As soon as the economy of the planet certain requirements is sufficient, the Imperium a stage (level) ascends and it is available new and better buildings. Starting from level 5 spaceships can be built, in order to fly to other planets and to create or act with the there inhabitants a colony there or lead war. However also the own planet is open to attack starting from level 5.

In newer Browserspielen the player gets better buildings and spaceships usually by study of different branches of science, the so-called Techtree.

History

Programming at SOL began already 1992 in Hamburg. It should a clone of the then popular strategy play Dune 2: The Battle for Arrakis for NEXT steps become.

With appearance of the first diagramable Webbrowser 1993 the developers came on the idea to change SOL in such a way that instead of only two, thousands of players can play at the same time against each other. Since HTML was not real timable a large part of the original play concept was rejected and by round "“report system"” replaced. It went developing now more therefore a functioning economic circulation.

Since SOL went in September 1995 on-line, on graphic planet surfaces one plays, on which one can place houses and vehicles. Many newer Browserspiele are still content in contrast to it with simple Zahlen-Tabellen.

SOL is played after over 10 years still by over 4000 players.
