It seems to me that these web-based games are gaining support all the
time. I just don't understand why!
As a working man, I have time to login in the evening once on weekdays
(If I have no social calendar) and 2/3 times per day in the weekend.
(Holidays, weekends in the country, and other events are in the way as
well). In my experience (which does not include StarKingdoms) this is
not enough to be competitive.

Another problem with web-based games is that I haven't seen many with
full documentation...
