A super cool "TL" gundam banner would be awesome to put here....
Hey TL. Today, I want to share all of you a new cool game that I discovered recently and been addicted ever since 24/7 for a while now. I present you.... a GUNDAM ONLINE GAME!
Introduction
+ Show Spoiler +
So what is it? Why, it's a fully function Gundam multiplayer game! Not those cheap ass 1 vs 1 fighting game where you buy in console hoping to be more nor a game where it's practically all dialogue that you see in other games. This game is much more than that: piloting mobile suits/mobile armor/fighter/vehicles/etc, taking over territories, pvps, raids, crafting (making your own weapons, suits, gundams, etc) and lots of gundam drama! (Sorry, no pink hair girls here.

Basically the world is at war and you have to choose 2 sides, either the Earth Federation or the Principality of Zeon. It's based on the Universal Century era (the original gundam series) and you choose either side and stick with it only to go up against the other side and be victorious. Question is... can you?
You can play either in Earth at the country of Australia (and there are many locations there to go to, it's a big country afterall!) or in space where there are space ports!
There are skills in this game. It's basically similar to Ultima Online as many people have said. You can build your skills in your character that has a whole range of stuff as shown here that is either combat or for crafting.
In summary, you could say there is a bit of wowish fever or those typical online mmo games with a character but here it's with your personal character and YOUR GUNDAM! (or mobile suit/mobile armor, etc etc). Best of all... IT'S FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

This is a private server!
+ Show Spoiler +
The original server has shut down back in 2007. However, after a crazy awesome skills from certain person referred as the "admin", a fully function private server has now been live ever since September 2010 for freeeeeeee! It has basically the same quality as the original server PLUS MORE! Custom colors, suits, more pvp features, etc!!!!
But there are a lot of japanese players in this game, mostly because this is originally a japanese game. But there are also quite a bit of growing English players as well. This game is very adaptable to play without the knowledge of Japanese really. And you'll have fun regardless of the slight language barrier that is the menu setting (which has a guide above) and few things that doesn't really affect you much.

Crafting FAQ / Guide
+ Show Spoiler +
First off, what is crafting? Basically crafting is where you can make your own mobile suits / mobile armors, weapons, materials and even clothes! Crafting is a big plus in this game as it can earn you a good source of income for the game as well as trade with others of their desires from what you make. And ultimately, you will be able to control the game's economy by building gundams or super powerful weapons and sell to the players at a very high place. It's a long road but it's rewarding if you choose to spend endless hours of doing it...
Here's a quick start of how to craft:
One last note to make about this. Once you got familiar of making the basic crafting, I strongly recommend to get a macro program to do this automatically while you are afk as crafting can be tedious and annoying since the skill point will go up REALLY slow after a while as it goes higher level...
Here's a recommendation for a macro program:

Good luck!
Here's a quick start of how to craft:
Basically for MS/MA crafting, you need 2 things before making, the engine for the machine and the materials. So you have to go the materials shop, buy the necessary materials to make that particular machine and then go to engine shop to buy the necessary engine to make that particular machine. Once you do that, you go to the MS/MA Factory, and develop and make the machine there. Afterwards, you can "take out" which will be on your hangar where you can sell at machine shop or trade or do w/e OR you can dismantle it by reverting it back to the materials for faster skill points. But you will lose your engine and won't get all materials back.
For weapons crafting, it's easier, since weapons don't require an engine, all you need to do is get the necessary materials then go to weapons factory to make it. After that, you can only take out the weapon and sell/trade it.
Here's some links that may help you for MS crafting and Weapons crafting. These are what you can make, what materials/engines you need and the time it takes to make each one:

While the TeamLiquid Zeon Team is being taken care of own its own and led by CrackSpdier93, the EFF players aren't organized yet, partly for my fault for not being active to start something up. Thus, I want to do a gathering for the TeamLiquid EFF players sometime this week for all TLers in EFF to come together at a city and commence the celebration and commendation for the creation of TeamLiquid EFF Team that will be led by me, QuickStriker. Along with the special gathering, I also want to bring out my Mobile Suit crafter and bring out suits for the team as well to celebrate. As such, to see when is good for everyone, here is a poll for this week:
+ Show Spoiler [Day Poll] +
+ Show Spoiler [Time Poll] +
For all TL EFF players interested of a TeamLiquid EFF team, please answer the poll! Again, this is only for the TL EFF players. For news and info about the Zeon players, please contact CrackSpider93 or check the later pages of this forum. Or if the TL Zeon Team wants to announce something on OP, I'll gladly copy and paste and make a separate section on OP!
I'll add more details in regards to the setup and choices of mobile suits in terms of engine, color, upgrades, etc for the team so stay tune for that as well!
+ Show Spoiler [1/10/11] +
After some discussions within the players and the thread and from TL Zeon players, I decided to put forth on the motion of the creation of TeamLiquid Team for the Gundam MMO!!!
There will be two teams for each side, the Earth Federation team led by QuickStriker and the Zeon side led by CrackSpider93. Please contact the respective individual for invitation as joining the team works with the team leader meeting up with you and adding you to the team list after meeting face to face. It's the only way as this game doesn't allow long distance adding people...
Note: It is not mandatory to join but being part of the TeamLiquid team makes you look cool and be able to play along with other TLers. I mean come on, who wouldn't want to show our TL pride to all these scrubs out there who doesn't know what Starcraft is. We can play and talk about Starcraft at the same time!
More info to come in the future!

On this game, there is a team system, sorta like a clan where under your name tag, you see your team/clan tag as well. If we get enough people who are interested of playing from TL, I was thinking of creating a TL clan/team for this Gundam MMO under the team "TeamLiquid". However, a team can only be EFF (Earth Force Federation) only or Zeon only as I have heard... thus, if we are going to create a team for TL, there must be one for EFF and another for Zeon.
Note: This is only if we have a good # of TLers playing this game!
Since I am strictly an EFF player, I can lead the EFF team while someone else can lead Zeon. I can train that person to lead the team. Also, no team can be repeated name twice so we cannot have the name "TeamLiquid" for both EFF and Zeon so if there is going to be 2 TL team, then we need to make something like "TeamLiquid EFF" and "TeamLiquid Zeon" or TL EFF and TL Zeon or a custom name for EFF/Zeon..... orrr we can all be part of the EFF and just call it "TeamLiquid" :D
