I met an American Warrior Stationed in Afghanistan today...

My new friend is a warrior online also. He plays the game Holy War
where Crusaders, Pagans and Saracens create alliances, battle, and
build a home for when we're able to be home to rest and recuperate!

I don't know how I came across the website... surfing the web i guess?
...and why did I take a look? Medeival times have always held a fascination
for me and the art work on this Role Playing site has an appeal to anyone
who admires the art of the early Renaissance but also photo realism.



Holy-War is a free and complex online role player game!
Dive into the age of the Holy War! Take on the role of
Knight, Saracen or Pagan and conquer or defend the Holy Land!

There's a very active forum. It is an international site and multi languages.
German, French, Spanish, Turkish, UK or International are your choices
as i recall... There are many ineresting and knowlegeable characters/players
who share information about history and culture. Many are there just to do
Battle. It seems to be new but is rising quickly in the rankings online for
RPG gaming site.

When you join you choose your name and faith but you can battle or be in
alliances with anyone, any of The Orders, Battles etc. You can (and need to)
buy a horse from a steed like the man from La mancha would ride to an
Arabian Stallion or other thoroughbreds of that time and regions that were
then converging on the Holy Lands.

There's a battle slated for the 27th of December. There's still time to build up
your points - strength, agility, defences, and other stats to be ready. Other
battles that are announced are either Holy Wars or just Battles adn there is a
detailed map of the Continent with the names of cities and countries and who
has control of them... what the location of the upcoming battle is and before
the battle you go to the war encampment to rest and build up points that help
you make it through the battle! (I can't believe I'm getting such enjoyment
from this new hobby I've found!)

((as befuddling as this sounds... the stresses about today's world melt away
when you meet pagans, christians, hindi, muslim and others all online -of course
many are very young but others aren't - discussing the issues that stem from the
time frame of the past... the comments and forums are very well moderated for obvious reasons... no hate speech or demeaning remarks allowed...

This is one of the more relaxing websites I've ever been on presenting yourself as a character and voicing your personal beliefs within a historical context!))

This game is ideal for when you are at work. I'm at work now writing this
article for my blog, right? I'm also working in the city where the game Holy-Wars
is centered so I can earn gold coins! (smiles) I'm working for 7 hrs over there in
Holy War City and I can get called to a battle or maybe even attacked? ...no...
I think because I'm a low level and new that I'm under a protective status
while I get a foot hold on this game.

Click any of the banners or links... I get a few gold coins if you join! (smiles)

hope to see you over there where religion, life and history meet under the
ruse of entertainment... role playing and sheer fun!
