The Kingdom of Loathing: An Adventurer is You!

[PochoMan]

As of 15 May 2008, I have been introduced to a free browser-based MMORPG and have sinced become hooked.

It is notable for its use of hand-drawn stick figure graphics and writing characterized by surreal humor, word play, parody and references to pop culture. Launched in February 2003, the game has attracted a player base of approximately 120,000 regular users. In KoL, players fight monsters for experience, meat (the game's currency), and items, through a turn-based system. Players also interact with each other through player versus player competition, participate in the in-game economy by trading goods and services, and organize themselves into clans, and speak to each other in many different chat channels.

PROs & CONs IMO Only.
Pricing: Free to play. But with a $10 donation you recieve an in-game item.
Graphics: Characters, monsters, npc etc... are stick figures or simple images
Maturity Level: Humorous with many references to Pop Culture and and other related topics. Also availability for the character to drink "booze" and get to drunk to adventure.
Game Play: Simple to learn and use.
Chatting: Dont know havent used this function.
Adventure Points: This part sucks. You start off every day, appx 1200 AM EST with only 40 points. Adventure points are use to do pretty much anything in the game. You use (1) point to explore. While exploring you may actually fight a monster or just stumble upon an item. AP is also used to craft certain items like Equipment, food, and booze On the bright side you can equip certain items, eat food, drink booze etc... to gain more AP. Except that when you drink too much booze you no longer are capable of adventuring. But you can still craft.

it's a fun game and they add stuff pretty often to it
but it does get repetitive and bit boring
I gave up really on it awhile back

cheers

I'm not a huge fan of these types of game, but I liked this the least. I find it very repetive, but I can definately see how some can enjoy it. Its fun when you first start, but after I while it gets boring.

Whoops, and I thought I was the first one to make a Kingdom of Loathing thread. Yours is much better. Gamjuven (turtle tamer)

I like the game quite a bit and play it regularly.

I have some pretty decent items (Pilgrim Shield, etc.) that I would be willing to trade for cash or Heroscape stuff. Let me know if anyone has an interest
