The Game:

Unfortunately I was unable to play this game because for some reason when I tried to install the game via Steam all I got was a desktop shortcut and a folder with no executable or other content. After deleting and reinstalling several times, I've had to contact Steam support and the developer to find out what the issue is. That said, other Steam users have been able to install this game.

Rogalia is a craft-based sandbox MMORPG with an open world fantasy setting influenced and created by players. Engage in a PvE orientated world with simple but hard to master combat system with optional PvP in arenas, battleground and full drop areas. Live the simple life and be a crafter and farmer to tend to crops, breed animals and create food to gain essential vitamins to develop your character using the unique vitamin/stat system. Whatever you choose, Rogalia has thousands of recipes to help enhance your character and last but not least, make your land into the home you always wanted.

The Rogalia team has posted a brief note to let players know that all servers have now been deployed with the opening of the new North American server called "Andromeda". This brings the worldwide server total to three with other servers currently running in Europe (Quasar) and Asia (Tokyo). There are no plans to add additional servers at this point.

Suggestions:

If you win a key and once you've had an opportunity to play Rogalia please take a few moments to give some positive or negative feedback; for example, what you liked or disliked about the game, or how it could be improved. If you don't like the genre at all, please explain why and if any, what improvements would change your mind? Once the competition is over, you can access the comments section by going to the game giveaways home page, then scroll to the bottom of the page where it says Archives and select the date the giveaway was live (giveaway days are in bold type). This will open up the appropriate page for you to post your comment or review (Mon 6th Nov). Alternatively, you can Google the name of the game and include Gamegiveawayoftheday in the search. This should give you a list of links to when this game was given away.

There are thousands of subscribers to the game giveaway of the day every weekend which makes this an ideal forum for giving developers new or fresh ideas as to what their consumers (i.e you) would like to see in a game. For example, you could suggest extra content such as better or more original mini-games, or a level editor that you would like to see that would make it more appealing to you. Maybe you think the graphics are a little dated and are in need of re-skinning, or maybe you've just had enough of the genre and want to see something different or something with more originality? Giving such feedback instead of saying nothing or just saying this game is rubbish or good may bring more developers to the site, which could mean more and better games. Would 'you' give away thousands of copies of a game (or extra content for a game) away to a community that complains all the time instead of giving useful feedback? It only needs a few moments of your time.

This site could be transformed if only the community would be more forthcoming in their opinions of the games they are getting for free instead of complaining about the way this site has changed, for example, they don't like MPC games, they hate HOG's, have had enough of Match Three and Time Management games, or they want to see the latest version of Call of Duty or some other big name AAA game given away or that they don't like Steam games. If something isn't for you then please move on to the next giveaway, or check out the forums HERE, HERE and HERE, where a few members of the community post details of various free games and free game sites as well as links to various indie bundle sites etc; you never know, you may find something that really interests you.

If you miss today's game giveaway you can always get the game via Steam HERE It's on sale at the moment with 42% off for £5.21/$6.95. Usual price £8.99/$11.99

Problems getting the game to work:

The latest Origin giveaway is Plants vs. Zombies Game of the Year Edition. which you can find HERE. If you love Tower Defense, or arcade games in general, this is a fabulous game. It's not like your typical TD game. It's easy to pick up, but hard to stop playing. A fantastic and well balanced arcade game, with brilliant game play and in my opinion one of the best of its kind. You can see a couple of game play videos HERE and HERE. You can also get a free Steam key for Brutal Ledgend (offer Ends Wed 22nd 6pm UK time) via the Humble bundle site HERE. You can see a couple of game play videos HERE and HERE (featuring some real heavy metal legends such as Ozzy Osbourne (formerly of Black Sabbath) and Rob Halford (Judas Priest) and introduced by Jack Black, not suitable for children and young teenagers).
