Travians was a browser game that was developed and operated by Travian Games . In addition to various combat situations that could be carried out with other players in arenas, the focus was on setting up and setting up one's own house, forming one's own clubs and guilds and, in particular, social interaction with other players, including in chats and community events could be performed. The player could choose between four races with the same abilities but different outward appearances.
Travians was free in its original form. However, by buying so-called diamonds, which had to be paid for with real money, the player was able to conclude a temporary gold membership, which enabled him to activate various other functions during the period of validity. The use of diamonds was also necessary for the purchase of various items of furniture in houses or guilds.
General
After completion of the beta phase, which began in 2007, Travianer was officially launched on February 19, 2008 as the second game by Travian Games .
In 2009, UNESCO classified Travians as a serious game with a high learning factor and thus as educationally valuable.
On June 12, 2014, Travian Games announced that the game would be discontinued for the coming month. This was justified by the fact that the number of users has fallen sharply over the years. Despite major protests from the players, who started an online petition against the shutdown and called in various editorial offices, the servers were shut down on July 25, 2014. The Travians homepage is now no longer accessible.
Travians Extended
On November 19, 2009, the Travianer Extended Edition, which was published by SevenOne Media , a subsidiary of ProSiebenSat.1 Media , was released, an expansion package containing numerous bonus items, including a residential tower, exclusive furniture collections, 500 diamonds (means of payment in the game) , a month long gold membership, exclusive in-game content, and multiple wallpapers.

Some independent developers are currently working on a new project called Urstromtal with approval from Travian Games . It is supposed to build on the game principle of Travians and use a similar graphical interface. A release date is not yet known. The Urstromtal project is at rest, the developers have deactivated the forum and published a statement.
