Nice words well , let me admit , same here , i am enjoying building this game and trying my best to make it not boring as usual browser based games i've played so far , they all go linear , do this and this and this daily to get extra points , then wait till tomorrow ... NO am doing doing this , am trying my best to create a game you can play anytime , and everytime you will find new stuff , new things to build or assemble , trading (multiple ways) , technology , missions , NPCs , player created missions (you can create missions for others as well) alliances and wars , there are five zones in the game , each zone will have it's unique things to do , unique things to find , you will be able to build stuff with your group/alliance to help in war/trading/resource mining , there will be strategic talks going aroiund to occupy some sectors , fights will be held . news site for the game and big alliances will be published , am trying to build a virtual world that wont take much of your time , but is a place worths visiting for those who likes to think and create strategies , this ain't a game for those who will look at graphical stuff and those players that just keep clicking buttons to get to the next level , in this game you will not have a level , you will have your own financial strength , or weapon strength , or technology strength which may go up and down depending on how smart you and your actions are , so you will need friends in this game , to cimmunicate off-game and build strategies and plans to achive some mutual goal , either by attacking other players , defending your areas and resources , being smart in market and stock market which will have it's own news page ... and much more ..
this ain't gonna be a usual game , this i promise ! and this idea alone is motivating me into finishing it , rather than the nice lines of codes that have to be thought through for performance and stuff

i hope this will give you a better idea , as a programmer who hates silly one-way games !
