Please keep things positive. Best advise I believe is to try out different sites. Find what works well for you. If you don't like it, don't go back and try another site. Nothing says you only have to play on 1 site. At one time, I played on about 6 different turn-based game sites.
core-exiles.com ...... an excellent game. Superb devs. Free to play. Highly addictive. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 20 if I could. Worth a look. You can make it as easy or as involved as you want. .. I've been playing since '05
