Though Glorb's description is an exaggeration, the "you only have to log in once or twice a day" thing really is pretty wrong. You have to log in at least three or four times a day (and more when the game's in full swing), and if you miss a single day, the results can be catastrophic. I don't see Neptune's Pride catching on as well as shorter 4X games like Civilization or Sins of a Solar Empire for this reason.
