So today is my 5000th playing this game and here’s what I’ve learnt:

*nobody is catching the top 5 in battle stats

*you could earn 100m per day for a year and still be oh a trillion off the top 10

*the only reason people read the forums is for drama

*nobody knows why we still carry on playing day after day

*crimes 2.0 is almost finished.....

*making money of scamming people is ok, but scamming the game isnt

*making money off bugs is ok, as long as you report the bug.....at some point

*100 member limit on factions is pointless

*100 level limit is pointless

There’s probably more which I’m sure you’ll add and this post really lacks memes so help a brother out.

peace out tomorrow it’s 5001 and I’ll carry on being an old fart with stats better than they should be.

Ched where’s my birthday card? 13.69 years and not even a stink bomb on the doorstep, weak bro !

Just think -- if you'd murdered someone, you'd be out on good behavior by now.

If Torn was your baby, it would be learning to drive about now (in the US) but it still wouldn't be able to buy cigarettes.

Wikipedia lists Torn as starting in 2003, but the oldest user accounts date back to November 2004. That's just over 17 years ago.

EDIT: I've been corrected, it is 16.4 years ago.


17+ years ago, 16+ years ago, in December 2004, the Boxing Day Tsunami hit in Southeast Asia.

Other games released in 2004 included Half-Life 2, World of Warcraft, Doom 3, and Halo 2.

Apple was still making iPods, the iPhone had not launched yet.

And Amazon's homepage looked like this:

Just over 16 years.

Source: maths. And having been married since December 2004 and my wife would kill me if I forgot our anniversary etc. J/k, she's the one who forgets.

It’s 16, I myself am a 2004 baby, I was born earlier in the year, and this bitch is 6-7 months younger than me, so ya, torn is only 16
