'''''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131022080359/http://skyrates.net/index.php Skyrates]''''' is a [[Adobe Flash|Flash]]-based [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]], set in the world of [[World in the Sky|Skytopia]]. This world consists of 30 something [[Floating Continent|Skylands]] which the player fly to and from in search of profit. Although it is a MMORPG, it is unusual in a couple ways. The only way to influence other peoples is economically, depriving them of trade routes and messing up the supply and demand of a specific Skyland. Another difference is the presence of "Sporadic Play" game design. This game design has allows the player to ignore the game at lengths of time, your character following a route that you have planned beforehand. With specific builds of planes, this sporadic play concept can get to almost absurd levels, people having queued up to 1600 hours in a single run.
The game is notable to having a small, if largely involved Fan community. The developers have utilized the fanbase for the creation of a [[Skyrates Roleplay|strong Roleplaying aspect of the game,]] and the fanbase maintains a wiki and forum.
The game is currently{{when}} free to play on version 2.6, with resets which occur every several months, in theory. The game can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20131022080359/http://skyrates.net/index.php here].

* [[Crew of One]]: Your character can fly their aircraft all by themselves, even if it's a massive Zeppelin. However, having a crew is highly beneficial. Crews will grant you bonuses in trade and combat, and reduce flight time.
* [[Death Is a Slap on The Wrist]]: The Pirates which you face know that it would be unprofitable for them to kill you. When you are shot down in Aerial Combat, they simply take a portion of your cargo and allow you to continue on your merry way. (and currently cargo loss in not implemented, making the only negative side effect of losing combat a minor hit to crew morale)

{{quote|"You've been doing pretty well for yourself. Tell you what though, some pirates have been shooting at the tavern. One of them knocked over my drink, and I don't take kindly to that. Why don't you go teach 20 of them a lesson in manners?" }}
Line 50:
* [[We Buy Anything]]: Averted - the market is almost exclusively player-driven.
* [[World in the Sky]]: some two hundred years before the game's setting was the [[World War III|Great War]], which resulted in the apocalyptic [[The End of the World as We Know It|Great Upheaval]] that created the [[Floating Continent|skylands]] and [[The Great Flood|flooded the surface]].
