Time of Defiance was a massively multiplayer online real-time strategy (MMORTS) featuring floating islands on a planet called Nespanona. Players capture and extract resources from these floating islands. Because the game runs in real-time the game world continues to alter when players are logged out. All in-game enemies consist of other players who must be repelled by force or prevented from attacking through diplomatic intervention. It was made free to play on August 19 2009 and was closed down on July 28 2010.
