Ask HN: Browser Mmorpg

mmathias — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 13:06:47 +0000

Back in the days there used to be free (sci-fi) mmorp games that you could play in your browser where you log in once or twice a day, command your units and the game would continue while you were offline. Do those games still exist? Are there newer ones?

Ask HN: When hiding an article on HN, why does slot 30 “refill” duplicate links?

mmathias — Sun, 22 Aug 2021 16:42:27 +0000

It does not happen all the time, but try hiding a couple of posts and see for yourself.

I think they should either turn off the "refill" feature or at least make it work properly.

Ask HN: Which (educational+fun) browser games do you recommend for a 5-year old?

mmathias — Sun, 24 Nov 2019 20:06:03 +0000

I would like to introduce my five year old son to computer games and I (as somebody who has quite a lot of experience in the IT and media business) believe that (some) games can be more beneficial to a child's development than others. Are there any games that you can recommend?

New comment by mmathias in "Ask HN: HNers who got their “Show HNs” on homepage, how is your site doing now?"

mmathias — Mon, 24 Jul 2017 19:14:42 +0000

My project "UrlRoulette" was on the HN homepage for about 24 hours. I received a huge traffic spike at the start. Since then traffic came from other sources such as Reddit, some blog posts and articles that were written - and of course some search engines. After being on HN, UrlRoulette was featured in the german C'T magazine and received a lot of traffic from their website and their print edition. Also, being featured on some more sites certainly helped pushing the site's page rank on Google.

The project: https://urlroulette.net/

I actually wrote a post about being on the HN front page: https://hackernoon.com/urlroulette-24-hours-on-hacker-news-e...

By the way, URLRoulette has a disclaimer that says
