Human Age is the English language
version of the free interactive multiplayer browser-based French
role playing game Human Epic. The French version was launched in June 2005. A German language
version under the name Spiel das Leben was launched in January 2006. The English language was launched the following month. It has been described as "The Sims
meets Alter Ego".
To date the game is released up to age 6 with age 7 currently under development, the release date is yet to be known.
Age One focuses on the prehistoric era of the human evolutionary cycle, where the player essentially learns how to function as a cave man or woman. The game has more of a single player focus with the function to private message other players. the aim is to gain strength, stamina and skill points as well as complete the designated quests. After completing a specific set of goals the player can progress to Age 2.
Age Two is a bit more in depth compared to age one; the concept of government and hierarchy is introduced. As well as completing quests and developing your character, the player can immerse themselves into the game on a deeper level. Players can now marry, gain reputation ranks and operate as healers, elect chiefs of the different tribes, engage in politics, peace and warfare. There are a variety of guilds to gain access to but players will either have to earn a place or be appointed. Guilds such as the robbers or Mercenaries guild will have to be earned through gaining higher ranks on player statistics boards. However, places in guilds such as the spies guild can be obtained if approved by the current clan chief.
Age Three essentially combines the same system as age 2. However, marriage, childbirth and raising children within marriage is introduced, as well as a more intricate system to the government. Officials and generals can be appointed within the game to involve more people than just the chief. This progression of facilities within the ages should reflect the development of the human during their evolution through time.
Age Four differs from the early ages in that it encourages players to log in several times per day. The character's energy recovers hour by hour, and they must build up experience points (XP) to progress to higher levels and gain access to new features of the game. Players can travel between the various Greek islands, trade resources between clans, and improve their dwellings.
Age Five is the Kingdom Age set during the medieval ages. Game play is very similar to the Greek Age with a few added quests and ways to get experience.
Age Six was released on August 1, 2011.
