Since buildings and resources are on a timer, there is a lot of downtime waiting for progress. You cannot kill other players, but you can assist them in little ways once a day. Elvenar is all about building a home for your people, fighting monsters and acquiring relics. The Research Tree is also a nice touch, coupled with an Auction Hall for in-game resources where you trade one for another. Elvenar is a browser game for people who do not want pressure, who simply want to enjoy a little fantasy in their day for a bit at a time, and even the player who spends hours at a time at their browser can plan and plot, raise an army and push into this new world to explore away. There are a near infinite series of ways you can build your city, but don’t be like me and slipshod it together at the start. At least you can juggle and move buildings with a button on the HUD, where you can put a building in another location. As you acquire expansions for your city through the Research Tree, or by destroying enemy minions, you will find that with the added space you can fit things in different spots. That’s such a Godsend, as I tend to think about the right now when putting a city together. Good thing I’m not an Architect! Buildings require differing amount of space depending on what they are, so it is advisable to put a little thought in. Though I do not have all of the buildings yet as of this writing, one of them appears to only be allowed to be purchased with Gems (the currency purchased with real money). Other than that, everything is bought with regular currency, and unlocked with Research. The acquisition of these expansions is pretty slow without spending money. On the error page, the url was gamersgems and the msg itself said:The “Premium” city expansion tile is an example of this, and more can be unlocked as you improve your Main Hall. The odd thing was I think those buttons took me to gamersgems. Also tried the Dwarves button and got the same error. I typed into the browser, chose guest races, then O&G and still got 'this site cannot be reached'. I don't think that's the issue this time. It's just my overall impression from things that have been posted. Note: I could be wrong about all this it's not like I have any direct knowledge. I figure at some point, something major will break, she's not going to be able to fix it and that will be that. The loss of those guest race guides would be a shame, even if they're not totally up to date. She's the only hope we have of getting this latest problem fixed. Plus, she's only one person, and events/FA's are coming so quickly she kept up with those as long as she could. She has said before that there are skills needed for maintaining/updating the site that she doesn't have. They gave the ability to do some stuff, but afaik, she is a volunteer.

They indicated they were only willing to do so as long as the ads paid for the site. They were willing to leave it available (with ads). My information is slightly different I believe the owner of that site retired from the site and the game quite some time ago. On the error page, the url was gamersgems and the msg itself said: Click to expand.I don't think that's the issue this time.
