Ferion is not like other Online Games becuase those other Online Games, usually depends just on how many times you can get people pressing your link or things like that, and that becomes boring in minutes.
In Ferion you play arenas that start every week, and once there, you must try to win by killing every one, forming a large-in-territory alliance or in any other way the arena permits. In Ferion you start with one planet and some money, and you must conquer planets, research new technology and build the ships you will fight with, even design them!!!
You don't need a fast connection, I play it with my 56k modem and there's no problem at all.
