I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it but Renaissance Kingdoms was a very good game (I don't play it at the moment). Set in different countries (depending where you're from) its a medieval online RPG/Strategy and is quite unique. You begin in a town and have to make cash by mining, woodcutting, farming and rely on other players to help you on your way. You can travel between towns and regions (although many of the roads are dangerous with bandits) and can become a mayor, priest, army leader, king or queen. The strategy is done via the game mechanics and the RP via the forums.
