There are many browser games out there one of which I was particularly interested in. I understand that it is not written in just one language nor was it created by one person but I am intrigued as to what was used to create: Home - Lord of Ultima
Oh and if anyone has any links to guides on simple browser games please post those too.

Generally, if you View Source, you'll either see that it's using a .swf file someplace (Flash) or some such. Most of the decent ones are Flash, a few in Java, and I've even seen Wolfenstein or Doom in JavaScript.

Hi, The site in concern does use some Flash. However, I am not certain if it uses flash internally as well.
When it comes to browser based games, you have to worry about 2 items: the server side processing and the client side display. Most of the client side display can be done with pure HTML, CSS and some fancy images. Javascript can be used to enhance usability. Flash makes the display look even better.
The server side processing can be handled using different technologies, one of them is Flash (Actionscript). The other options are PHP, Ruby, Perl, ASP.net languages (C#, VB), etc.
You also need to consider a database, most of the games will use either mySQL or MS SQL.
I am currently working on a text based online browser game and I am using PHP for the server side processing.
I would recommend that you read up some of the tutorials on Tutorials | Building Browsergames. They are simply amazing and they gave me the required kickstart to make my game. If you need other assistance, contact me. :)
