There have been some very successful games. Back in the day Strange New Worlds (SNW) was one of the biggest things, but had some inherant flaws - very systemy, some staffing pains, etc. ATS Trekmu came out around that time and is still around. Kind of like SNW, but without all the wackiness that SNW had.

ATS is still kicking, and active from what I can tell, has 20-30 chars logged in consistently.

Some games like Gamma One, and there were quite a few others focused heavily on military organization and completing jobs, etc. It was very much like a part time job in some aspects, great people, great games, but it had it's niche.

@Misadventure It's on 'the other site' with about 1k comments based on bad practices, poor behavior, and a lot of players abandoning ship from Star Wars: AoA.

Not sure if anyone mentioned, but R.O.D the TV. It's kind of rare but fantastic and both comedic, with serious bouts and well done action. It is the sequel to Read or die, Read or dream. Takes concepts from the original and highly panda them and there are lots of cameos from the ova characters where they flip the script on them. The characters grow, feel more than one dimensional, and I found it enjoyable. It's not that easy to find on dvd last I looked, but maybe you could find it digitally somewhere.

@Jeshin I also played on Lantern Hill and loved the place, I didn't know all those games were connected by the same staff, some of them sure. I was aware of most of them though. I just haven't found anything quite like the teen drama that's fairly active. If anyone has suggestions, I'm super open to them!

Kind of seems/feels like Gray Harbor to me?

I did notice that it was off to a great start, and one day everyone went poof, including the Admin. I do think that I know who the admin are, and they do commonly make games where they start great but putter out for some reason. They did seem off to a great start though.
