MMO = Massively Multiplayer Online (games like World of Warcraft etc) and pvp is player versus player.

Villagers and Heroes is a much milder and more gentle game in the same mold as World of Warcraft (or for those who remember good old Dungeons and Dragons with paper and pencil) but without the players fighting each other.

I've just had a look at site. Is the lady in today's location a panic buyer or is she carrying this week's shopping?.

I thought I would enjoy this but I tried the other day and now today but after a very short time, I get a black screen and that is it.

I had exactly the same, but I suspect it is simply that my router needed to be reset, since I also ran out of bandwidth listening to the PMs daily briefing on the radio.
